The Decaying Gods

Through its tears, the entire landscape changes...The absurd creature is trapped on the bridge of immortal pain and rivers of tears go down its face, dancing around its neck and joining the millions of other tears below its feet. And all of the sudden a very loud noise fills up the non-air around. It's extremly loud and it keeps increasing and increasing...It sounds as if all heavens and hells broke in all the surrounding worlds, clash of skies and falling angels, swirling cries and deafening silence.
But through the mirror of its eyes, the absurd one sees that it is actually a huge crowd of gods who came to bathe in the river of emotions. There are golden gods and silver ones, pink gods, white gods, brown gods, black gods, tasty gods and aromatic ones, wingless or crowned ones, resembling all sorts of creatures, shapes and colors that were ever imagined in the universe.
They are nothing but mortals sanctified as gods by other mortals, invested with supreme belief and blind faith, exiled from the world by infinite purity, glorified and raised above the heavens.
But the absurd creature could not believe its eyes of what was happening. As soon as they would go into the flow of the river, they'd become flash, mortal rotten flash, caught in the filthy spirals of humanoid desires, drawning the sanctity of so many tens, so many illusions destroyed and so many dreams dissembled...they were the Decaying Gods...mayhem...freedom...loss of all hopes!
The sight of all this was too much to bear for the absurd one.So much pain and sorrow that it knew it had to escape of the trapping bridge and fly away. Even with the price of half its soul. With a last struggle, the absurd one became a crippled soul, flying off to find some other worlds...
And there was no more choice of worlds!

"But through the mirror of its eyes" reminds me of Neuromancer. But again, the scene you painted is far more blackened.

Loved Neuromancer :)) I guess that's quite obvious.
Cool stuff you read. What else?

I like to mention "Hitchhicker's guide to the galaxy". There are a couple of others, but they do stray away when it comes down to their subject. How about you? Any suggestions?

Yeah, Hitchhiker's Guide is definetely a good one :) There were loads of other categories of books, let's say. Not a consacrated style that I'd stick to. But I could warmly recommend the books of Anne Rice, the books of Erich von Daniken, Scott Adams's "God's Debris" or Albert Hofmann's writing :)))
