Today's #flashfiction #TakingAMeteorShower

“Don't toy with me.”
Buzz Lightyear* #quote



        Well CJ should be coming over today, and him and I will be going to one of them card game thingies. Also yesterday my fun nerdy anime club started up again and I only had a single seizure so the day went well then. Hopefully that means I won't have many during the tournament. Anyway onto the flash fiction!

Taking A Meteor Shower

         Thousands upon thousands of rocks flung through space on a collision course to Earth. All of life would be destroyed and the planet in shambles. But a savior would come and bring salvation to our world.
       Grhtu is what we could call him. That's the collection of all the syllables in his divine name that we could pronounce with our mortal mouths. His true name contained many more syllables, but our ears would break hearing them. Grhtu went between Earth and the space rocks and he let them hit him. The god took a shower in the rocks. Is he a god? Does having powers beyond comprehension label him a god, even though he doesn't have a pantheon, worshippers, or take part in any creation of the universe? Either way the rocks broke apart against his Moon sized body into a finer dust.
      Grhtu knew of Earth and that him blocking the rocks would save it. Though what concerned him more was using the rocks he blocked to destroy any space parasites that latched onto him or other things that had stuck onto his body that the rocks could blast off.
      After rocks hit him they broke into much smaller pieces, even dust, and came to Earth as a manageable meteor shower instead of the massive island sized rocks they could have fallen down as to wipe the face of Earth of life. Children and adults enjoyed the shooting stars in the sky.
