I am Lie.

In the beginning there was light, heaven and earth. The trees came to be, the animals ensured you would never be lonely. 

In a perfect world there would be harmony, balance.... peace

But not in mine.

On day one there was darkness to banish the light. The sky created a veil to blanket an empty world. 

Planets were next to show who was superior, for who other world could host the living i would bestow. 

The sea, this deep dark abyss needed creatures to fill the mortals nightmares. 

The birds fought for my amusement until they could no longer satisfy me.

At last I created humans to hate and judge. Blood for blood, fight for life. Every generation a source of my amusment as I watch for them to destroy the worthless beings and animals that were put on this plant to prove my superiority.

No matter the outcome, I win. For I am god; the best lie the heathens ever believed.
