I've watched
sitcoms, but I wonder what a standcom is like? Anyway onto the flash
fiction!
Evolving A
World Through Evil
Survival of the
fittest. Got that phrase on a poster in my chamber. The same chamber
that lies in a Dimension Cage between worlds. It's where I send evil
into those worlds for their own good. You may think that paradoxical
in it's nature but it is not.
Today one world
needed a hero. A hero who would be willing to cut down any villain
who stood in his way. Who else would be able to defeat the evil king
destined to rise to power in that world in twenty years? So I sent
dark desires for killing and wealth into the minds of bandits nearby
his village and they raided it. To get justice he became the hero
that world needed. He became a part of culture. Those that needed to
followed in his footsteps. People learned from his mistakes. That
world evolved.
I've made
people's lives miserable just so that they strive to find purpose.
Many artists are born that way. I've introduced plagues so that
scientists may cure them and advance science. Started wars so that
the countries may reach treaties that would last in peace for the
next five hundred years. I can't feel guilt for doing my job as a god
of fate. Society only marches on because I give it something to march
over. Spending all these hours coming up with evils for the worlds
beneath my Dimension Cage does tire me out, but someone has to do
it.
All in a day's
work.
