And on the eighth day, when he had rested, he created darkness. |
|
And for all around him he needed a cloak to hide himself from his tired labours. |
|
And the antelope and the deer and the ostrich and the zebra hid |
|
their faces and ran like tiny children |
|
into the shrivelling blackness around them. |
|
And the trees grew hoods and the cows winced. |
|
And all the crops began to droop. |
|
Even the coal rattled in terror for, lo, there was no light anywhere. |
|
And he was well pleased with his labours and he smiled and was unable to find his way out of the room. |
|
Consequently, he blundered around his new creations; |
|
stamping helplessly left and right upon the new buds of his endeavour. |
|
Octopuses, caterpillars, tendons and worms were squashed like buds. |
|
Easter bunnies ruptured like eggs. |
|
At length he found the door, and, fumbling with the handle, |
|
he chanced to knock the key on to the ground. |
|
As he lowered his nose to rummage around that vast appendage where he might see something on the floor, |
|
beheld a ray of light coming in from the hall. |
|
Kevin?Supper's ready. |
|
Mom, I'm locked in! |
|
Kevin... Supper's ready! |
|
Mom! |
