**********************3D Glasses Are Not Required**********************
[Our story continues from area 4181979.]
I meet Ackley, Cristoforo, and Rodrigo in the secret room. Everyone is re-energized. The tactic meeting is quick. Ackley is the most optimistic, but we all believe the strategy is solid. It is up to me to apply the game plan.
Ackley: “Be brave!”
Cristoforo: “The Revelator will not fail us!”
Rodrigo: “Remember the details! The twins are waiting for your arrival.”
Me: “I understand the responsibility that has been entrusted to me. I will not let disappoint the members of the FPB!”
[I leave and teleport to the VIP Lounge.]
Inside, I find Lu sitting alone.
Me: “Where is G?”
Devil: “He’ll be here shortly, he has to deal with some unrest in the Good Place.”
Me: “Unrest? Big brother always has to take care of business. What happened?”
Devil: “Well, there was a competition between the Christians, Jews, and Muslims. It was called Heaven Idol. There were three groups, varying in number, representing each faith. Obviously, it was a battle of the hymns. The Muslim team number 2, won with their powerful entry, Allah Holla! G is there trying to explain to the Jews and Christians that a hip hop hymn is allowed. They’ve been combing through the bible, looking for an answer, for a while now.”
Me: “Sounds like good times up there!”
Devil: “When I say boring, I mean boring!”
[We laugh.]
Devil: “Let’s get back to what you were saying earlier.”
Me: “What?”
Devil: “What’s this garbage about the big boss always having to take care of business?”
Me: “What? Everyone knows that you guys are twins, but it’s obvious—G is the big dog! The rest of us talk about it all the time. No one on earth loves you, except for the weirdo-devil-worshippers.”
Devil: “Is that right? You have no idea what you’re talking about…I have the same amount of power as him.”
Me: “I don’t know who has more power, but G has the respect, and he is the top dog. Look at your reputation…you’re the bad guy!”
Devil: “Let me stop this conversation because I don’t want to get angry. We’ll continue talking when G gets here.”
Me: “No problem. I know the big dog will back me up.”
Devil: “Yeah we’ll see about that.”
He was visibly upset. I could have egged him on, but I didn’t want to be on the receiving end of his temper. We switched the subject and enjoyed our blue label while waiting for God to arrive.
[In walks God.]
God: “Sorry I wasn’t able to make it here early, I’m sure you heard about the incident. Allah Holla! What you faithful bout ready to give…Dollars Dollars!”
Me: “No problem big dog. I know the boss has to handle his business! Don’t tell me Ja Rule is in the Good Place.”
God: “No, he wouldn’t last a second up there.”
[The Devil stood up, visibly agitated.]
Devil: “I think you need to straighten this kid out and let him know we’re equals and that I’m your partner!”
God: “Junior partner!” *Tony Montana Voice* [He laughed, I laughed. The Devil threw down his crystal glass.] God was stunned!
Me: “Easy there, number two. Calm down!”
God: “What the hell is wrong with you?”
Devil: [Yells.] “I’m tired of everyone thinking you’re the boss! When am I going to get my respect?”
God: “What are you talking about? No one said I was the boss.”
Devil: “Then what’s all this junior partner, bullshit?”
God: “I was joking…it’s Scarface, for crying out loud!”
Devil: “I’m tired of the jokes! From this day forth, I’m not taking this shit anymore. I am a boss too!”
Me: “That doesn’t make sense. Oligarchies don’t work. We need a monarchy. One ruler and G is the man for the job. If you don’t want to be number two, I’ll step in and you can be number three.”
[The Devil lunges at me, but God saves me.] {How Ironic!}
God: “Relax! Why are you taking out your anger on him? He has nothing to do with this. Clearly, this is an issue that has been bothering you for a long time.”
Devil: “Sorry Pete. I don’t mean to get carried away, but this is a sensitive issue for me.”
Me: “No problem. Maybe we should just drop the subject until Dr. Phil dies…he can help you work through the resentment!”
[The Devil lunges at me again!] {Thank God! (HA HA!)}
God: “Why do you keep going after him?”
Devil: [Yells.] “Because he’s been fucking with me all day!”
God: “C’mon Lu, it’s Pete—that’s what the kid does.”
Devil: “Don’t tell me to calm down. You’re not the boss of me.”
God: “Just relax.”
Devil: “Tell me to relax one more time and I’ll…”
God: “You’ll what?”
Devil: “Don’t push me.”
Me: “Cause I’m close to the edge.” [God laughs.]
God: “Hey Pete, chill for a little bit. The little girl is about to throw a tantrum.”
[The Devil shoves God up against the wall.]
The wall shakes, and a large white frame, encasing a painting of the sun, crashes to the ground.
God: [Yells out.] “Trustis!”
[I pick up the painting.]
Me: “The sun! C’mon Son!”
Devil: “That’s not the sun, dumbass!”
God: [Yells.] “Why don’t you just tell him everything?”
Devil: “You’re the one yelling out, Trustis! Don’t tell me what to do.”
God: “I’ll say whatever I want!”
[The Devil punches God in the temple.]
Thunder erupts! God lands on the ground, and his body becomes transparent. I get a quick glimpse of a small life form before he returns to his normal state.
Me: “What the hell…”
God: [In a booming voice.] “How dare you punch me! Take this!”
[He punches the Devil in the eye.]
Thunder fills the room. The same exact effect happens when the Devil hits the ground. The twins continue to fight. And each blow reveals more of their true selves, until their strong physiques no longer appear. Standing before me are two matching, two-feet tall, alien beings. Reality sets in and the twins notice that their true identities have been revealed. **This is where the reader gets to add to the story. Describe your own alien. Leave the description in the comment box, or pull out the old typewriter and have at it. Please place the finished copies in my favorite (P.O.) Box!**
God: “Look at what you did.”
Devil: “Me? You’re the idiot who thinks he is better than everyone.”
God: “I told you I was joking—we’re equals. You’re such a baby!”
[The Devil attempts to lunge at God, but I hold out my arm and stop him. He falls to the ground.]
Devil: “OW. What did you do that for?” [He begins to cry.]
Me: “What the hell is going on here? And why are you crying?”
Devil: “Because you hit me, and it hurts.” [Still sobbing.]
Me: “I didn’t hit you, I just extended my arm.”
God: “You gave him the Heisman!”
Me: “Why are you guys so wimpy all of a sudden? What’s a Trustis? And what’s with the weird transformation?”
God: “Well, I guess the cats out of the bag. Let me explain.”
Devil: [Shouts.] “No, nothing is happening until I get an apology. I didn’t do anything and Pete shoved me to the ground.”
[I shake my head.]
Me: “I can’t believe how soft you are being…I’m sorry.”
Devil: “Thank you. Apology…ACCEPTED!”
God: “Like I was saying before, we are what earthlings call, aliens. We are from the opposite end of the Universe. I would tell you the distance, but you wouldn’t be able to comprehend the number of light-years. There are trillions of galaxies in the Universe and ours is the furthest from earth. We arrived on the desolate planet a few millennia after it was formed. We are a fragile people, which is why Lu cried after you violently shoved him.”
[I begin to defend myself, but decide to let the matter go.]
Me: “Again, Lu. I’m sorry about the vicious shove. I don’t know what came over me.”
Devil: “We’re cool. It’s all good.”
God: “Our planet is called Credularous and our people are the Credularians. Trustis is the name of our star. The painting is an original Rembrandt, a reminder of our home.”
Me: “It looks just like the sun. How do I know you didn’t just have him paint the sun?”
Devil: “It actually is a depiction of the sun, Rembrandt never saw Trustis. They look similar so it really doesn’t matter.”
God: “Credularous is located in the Naïvao Solar system. Our Galaxy is named Gullibilitus.”
Me: “So why did you lie about aliens?”
Devil: “Because look at us. We are small and fragile. If everyone knew the truth, we would lose our ability to rule.”
Me: “So, did the two of you create the people on earth?”
God: “No! People evolved through the natural evolutionary process. When we first landed on earth, it was pretty much void of life forms, other than single-celled organisms.”
Devil: “Yeah, it was a great time. Watching bacteria, protists, fungi, and archaea; microorganisms rule!”
Me: “Why did you come to earth if the planet was basically deserted?”
God: “Our mission was not in search of life, we wanted the richest natural resource, and earth is full of it.”
Me: “These Blood Diamonds?” [I point to the wall.]
Devil: “No! Corundum!”
Me: “Corundum? We’re talking about Corundum? You mean to tell me, you traveled all the way across the Universe for Corundum. We’re not even talking about diamonds? We’re talking Corundum? Corundum? Everyone knows diamonds are the hardest minerals on earth. Corundum? I mean I can even understand Rubies or sapphires. But I can’t believe we’re talking about Corundum!”
Devil: “Relax Iverson. Diamonds are too hard. Our technology uses Corundum; it’s the ultimate mineral!”
Me: “Damn! Corundum?”
God: “Yes, Corundum!” (To all the ladies, the guy who gives you a Corundum ring, is indeed a keeper!)
Me: “What about the Fun Place and the Good Place? How do you control their existence and how does the afterlife work?”
God: “The places don’t actually exist. We use Corundum to create a hologram type effect, only far more superior. Everything you see seems real.”
Devil: “When life-forms die, their souls continue to exist. The souls are free to wander the Universe and learn all of the secrets. The ‘Dead’ exist in a different dimension. They can’t make contact with the living, but sometimes there are glitches. We simply keep the ‘dead’ in our ‘afterlife’ by controlling the mind.”
Me: “So you mean to tell me that I am free to travel the Universe and explore?”
God: “Yes!”
Me: “What about all the UFO sightings on earth?”
Devil: “I’d say, about eighty to eighty-five percent of the claims are complete bullshit. The others are real. It turns out that planet earth has the richest reserve of Corundum in the Universe. A great number of Credularians seek out the planet because of the Corundum. As we’ve noted, we are extremely fragile beings so sometimes our crafts crash land and the pilots die. There are government officials throughout the world who are a part of the massive cover-up. Whenever a craft is able to make a safe landing, I go to earth and send the Credularian away.”
Me: “Wow! That’s crazy! How many other life forms are there in the Universe?”
God: “Trillions multiplied by trillions. All types too! We are the most intelligent, so our people spread out to different planets and control the inhabitants by using our Corundum based technology. Part of our #winning strategy are the godly characters which we create. If you had attempted to fight with us when we first met, we could have been seriously injured. We are intelligent, but we lack physical strength. Our method of mind slavery is almost foolproof. We have to take off our hats to you for being able to out smart us. How did you figure out we were lying?”
Devil: “Yeah, it’s an amazing feat. No one has ever even come close to discovering the truth.”
Me: “I would love to take the credit, but I wasn’t alone. There is a secret society named the FPB. The group’s only mission is to uncover the truth. I was recruited because the members believe that I am some sort of Messiah, the Revelator.”
God: “That makes a lot of sense. Who are the members?”
Me: “Rodrigo is the leader and his second in command is Cristoforo. Ackley is also a high ranking member.”
Devil: “Et Tu Rodrigo?”
Me: “This is all unbelievable, but the FPB members are waiting for me to return with the information. Where do we go from here? I can’t turn my back on them.”
Devil: “We think it would be best to keep our secret and join us as the third ruler.”
Me: “That’s a great idea, but I can’t be a double agent. I swore my allegiance to the FPB and I will not abuse their trust. I’ll make a deal with you. I can reveal the truth to the people in the Fun Place, and the two of you can keep possession of the Good Place. Pharaohs, Pharaohs…LET MY PEOPLE GO!”
Devil: “Fuck! The Good Place people are sooooooooooooooooo boring!”
Me: “Don’t think of the current Good Place. Be creative and mix things up! The two of you can keep all the people who you judge to be candidates for the Good Place, but you must release the others.”
God: “That’s a brilliant idea. We accept your offer!”
[I exit the VIP Lounge for the last time!]
I return to area 4181979 and reunite with the guys. They are fascinated by the truth and we decide on the best way to free the others.
Ackley: “I think it will be best for us to reveal the truth, one area at a time.”
Rodrigo: “Agreed!”
Me: “Then it only makes sense to begin with area 1 and work our way out. Let the best people be freed first!”
Cristoforo: “The Revelator has spoken. Let his will be our command!”
[The End!]
********For those of you who witnessed the magic of the 3D technology, thank you for your continued support! ********
For those who were unable to experience the 3D effect, there is a reason. I struggled for several days attempting to figure out how I would be able to make this entry 3D. After searching high and low, I almost gave up. UNTIL…
I remembered a lesson from my past!
I turned to the last person anyone would expect. I turned to “god!” I prayed and I prayed and I prayed. (Dear “god,” good “god,” mighty “god,” good mighty “god.” Please be the good “god” and grant me the ability to make this latest entry a 3D post. Thank you good “god” who I fear!) Miraculously, my prayers were answered. “God” gave me the ability to create the exact 3D effect I begged for.
If you know “god,” you know there is a condition. The effect will only appear to those people who truly believe in my abilities. Only the believer in Peter Teixeira will be worthy enough to witness the greatness of the “lord.” Don’t worry. We are dealing with the “lord” so you know there is an express option. For those of you who are incapable of believing in me, there is a PayPal account set up, which will boost your belief points. The more you give, the better the effect will work!
Through “god,” ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!
“’God’ is good. ALL THE TIME!”
@PeteTeix617
Great ending! You are a great writing. The funny thing is,my next post. “World take over (part 2)” was similar. I finish writing it last night.
Thanks! Maybe thats’ what actually happens…who knows!
Yeah….u got me wanting to right “Jesus’s story” but I should let you write it. So let’s that be ur next task…lol
I wrote about his birth. You should write the story.
I’m not read for that… Is this ur actual beliefs?
If I get an idea for the story, I’ll write it. As far as aliens, I have no idea what’s going on, but the Universe is so big…there has to be life on other planets. We don’t have the technology to even know how big the Universe is…WE ARE NOT ALONE!
My post tommorrow. I explain what I think. (sorry for the advertising)
Ur spin on it was cool though…great imagination!
Thanks! I don’t care if you tell people about your blog…we all have to support each other. Too much hating in the world!
Allah Holla sounds like an MTV Jam of the Week
That Ja Rule is so talented!
Some entertaining parts but as a whole I found it to be anti climatic. I think I built the big reveal up in my head so that when it was finally revealed it fell short. While I don’t doubt that were not alone in the universe, fictional stories about aliens don’t really entertain me, you lost me when the twins turned out to be aliens. Also, because I think there’s more to the after life then you do, I didn’t like the way you ended it and everyone just went on their way.
Aliens aren’t really my thing either. I can see what you’re saying, about the ending, but I think I was more focused on the anti-religion aspect, but I probably should have put more emphasis on the story. I’m not sure about the topic yet, but I’ll start a new series soon and give it another go! I love the honesty!
Good points
Thanks!
