Godwag’s Box  Hazel Menehira   Friday Jan 1 2016   11a.m.

Godwag prepared to open the box for another look.

            Hair curled, moustache combed, pearly teeth brushed, celebratory strapless dress zipped up, Godwag shivered with anticipation.

This was more than a festive season gift box. Inside was a handmade creation of a golden globe planet of magnificent promise and potential.

On the edge of his cloud bunk Godwag lifted the edge flaps of the cardboard to peep inside. 

It was horrifying. His ears screamed with intense and inescapable pain. The escaping buzzing babble of billions of confused voices intermingled with heart wrenching sobs, piercing screams, sporadic gun shots and droning missiles strikes was intolerable.

Godwag’s eyes welled up with anger, sorrow and astonishment.

Her glorious dream globe was stuffed up.

Soft orchestral sweeping tones, the laughter of playful children blending with birds and animal harmonies had been replaced by a torrent of abhorrent terror.

Box closed, Godwag nestled against his cloud.

‘How could this have happened?’ she mused, then ‘Humans of course,’’ he said aloud. After a couple of calm me down whiskies, blasé logic took over.

‘Oh well.’ murmured Godwag. ‘I blame myself. I should never have made them in my own image –Fucking humans!’
