“I dunno, Pop,” Jesus said. “I’ve done my best, but they’re still sinning. What d’you think, Sis?”
The Wholly Sprite looked up from writing a scroll. “I’ve said from the Creation: humans suck. The Noah Restart, the Moses Restart, the Buddha Restart, the Zoroaster, the Jerusalem. Now is just like all the other times. Recreate the World, humans fuck up, zap the World. New World. New Messiah. Start again. Boring.”
“Nevertheless,” Pop said, “it’s time.”
“Couldn’t we give ’em more time?” Jesus asked.
“Daughter?” Pop asked.
“We’re running out of Messiahs,” the Wholly Sprite said.
Pop sighed. “Muhammed, you’re on deck.”
Perfect! An entertaining and on point story. Nicely done, sir.
