When the Heavens come crashing down
Plans shredded like so much confetti

Plans shredded like so much confetti

No no no! How has It gone unnoticed until now! When did It even get here!

----------------------------------------

I'm watching the news in shock. The report had come immediately, but I chose not to use the neural net. I felt that I had to see this with my eyes. I regret not giving the order to slaughter them all.

  A group of Nephil took a page out of some drama show and decided to descend from the sky. Not only that but they decided to descend in flocks in front of the equivalent of the White House for every country.

Entourages were ushered outside either in fear, confidence or worship. Another thing I cannot tolerate of humanity is their worship of what they believe to be benevolent beings led by an omnipotent creator of all. In reality, we are the template from which humanity was created. We vary widely in personality and appearance. The only thing not included was magic.

It was deemed that humanity would advance through their own efforts rather than relying on higher power.

The nephil groups spoke at the same time but were somehow still easily understood.

 Nephil: "We have come to prepare you humans for great changes, both good and bad. We also ask that you hold on to your grievances until The Great One arrives."

 I know where that bane of existence will show up...and I need to keep my people and the humans from its influence. I immediately linked to the neural net.

L: 'This is a Kormel message; this net may not be private anymore but...all agents are to keep anymore angels or humans from getting near Washington, D.C. Also, Porter, see about getting as many left there out as fast as you can. Once you have ensured that no more people can enter, begin extermination of the Nephil. For that task you should request assistance from the sanctuaries. That is all."

This narrative has been purloined without the author's approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.

Whether this is my last message or not is irrelevant, whether it's what saves or dooms this world and it inhabitants remains to be seen.

I get affirmatives from my agents through the net as I go through the various plans that are still viable.

???: "I've got something special planned for you before I take what is owed to me. I hope you enjoy HAHAHAHAHAHA-"

No no no! How has It gone unnoticed until now! When did It even get here!

 I had to cut my connection to the net before I destroyed something in my anger. That...and the fear felt close to overwhelming that anger. I never even considered that that thing could get past my defections. Maybe...maybe it used my own systems against me. They were designed to detect rising levels of that corrupting energy that took so much from us. It's possible the thing was able to lower the energy it was emitting from His body.

I switch to the TV now knowing full well that the net is compromised. News stations have dominated every channel to broadcast...my people fighting in cities turned battlefields by the Nephil. Seems the first wave of them were a fluke, because the ones their fighting are as powerful as they were before they were turned.

 Everything...everything is devolving into chaos with barely a touch from the thing in God's body. I feel so inadequate next to God and this thing is emulating that same feeling of being beyond prepared for any situation. It's too bad God didn't seem prepared for this monster to possess him.

Brother, are you still in there struggling to stop the wanton destruction of all that we and the humans have built together? Or have you gone somewhere better than this? I dearly hope you aren't trapped in the same body as that plague.

Enough of this introspection, nothing will change by sitting here in thought. As I'm about to move, I sense a sudden surge of blighted energy...and before my eyes I watch on TV as my brother's body, wreathed in radiance, descends in front of the White House.

Whatever happens next, I need to close my heart to it all. I can't hope to kill a heartless monster if I shrink at all the lives that have and will have to be taken.
