The Most Interesting World in the Man

Allan Onik

    James stepped off the yacht and adjusted his Rolex. The island was lush, with pristine, white sands and exotic birds. He removed the golden, jeweled machete from the stone and began to cut through the jungle brush at the end of the beach. He labored for what seemed like weeks, yet not a drop of sweat left his brow. Snakes of many colors and exotic monkeys left him unperturbed in the thick of the shrubbery.

    Finally, he found the shrine. He entered, and the smell of incense and burning candles tantalized his senses. The golden god sat in a small, jeweled bowl. He was about the size of a hen and had white, glowing eyes.
    “Is my journey over?” James asked, “I’ve been running for a long time, and I’m thirsty.”
    The deity smiled. “Step a little closer.”
    James stepped forward.
    “Closer still.”
    Finally, he was face to face with god. “You are everywhere and nowhere, for The World is in you. You’ve never even crawled across your mommy’s carpet.” The shrine faded.
