Let There Be Light!

“In the beginning, it was all “Order” then He ordered it to be “Disorder”. Mirage is what seems to increasing disorder rather it moving to Order again, and death is proof of Order Restored.”

I am assigned to work on a new universe. I have been waiting for this moment for eternity and now is the time to express my true potential. Many of my colleagues from the angel fraternity came to congrats me on this achievement and shared valuable tips as well. So, let's get to work since I have a tight timeline which is Six Heavenly Days and He the All-knowing and All-powerful is watching.

Step 1:

The “Source” has already been provided by Him with the label “ENTROPY”. It seems like some acronym or something but who knows as His wisdom is infinite and we the mere angels can't even comprehend the basics of it. So, I get to work and start following the instructions as per the manual written by Him. Though the ingredients are very few, but quantities are very precise, I mean precise to the extent that I must devise new scales as want nothing to be left for speculation. Unlike any other previous universes, I heard of, this seems a bit peculiar as the Source already has an expiry date but, in a language, unknown. So, I inferred that “Time” is going to be a key ingredient in this universe which in turn means to start it with a high magnitude of order and let it be disorderly gradually. Other than Time, I added a couple of Energy variants along with basic Gravity to hold things together. Now let it rest for some time and wait for Him to come and order it To Be.

Step 2:

The news arrived that today is the day of His arrival. I am both excited and nervous as amongst angel circles there is a rumor that He is going to monitor this universe which is a rare thing indeed. So, finally, the sirens go off and He arrives. We can’t see Him but can feel His presence which is extremely overwhelming. He looked at the tiny Universe and I felt that he added something to it, a secret ingredient perhaps. Later I found out that the ingredient was something called “Consciousness” which none of us had ever heard before. I don’t understand the use of this ingredient but who am I to challenge His infinite wisdom? So, finally, I felt that He raised his finger and said, “Let it Be” and left the scene.

Step3:

So. the universe “ENTROPY” came into being. My job now is to watch the dials closely as in the start little variations can lead to total chaos. It started a bit slowly, which was fine but considering the tight timelines, I decided to expedite the expansion by reversing one of the energy segments in opposite directions. So, the universe expanded exponentially in no time, bringing me back to my timeline. 

Step4:

As I looked at the dashboard, suddenly out of nowhere some lights started to appear. It was expected but not that early to be honest. So, now the tango of energy and gravity started. My job is half done and enjoying this cosmic dance which is slowly but rhythmically taking place over time and space.

Step 5:

As I am about to meet my deadline suddenly one of the dials starts to behave abnormally. It's showing some strange readings which I have never seen before. As I drilled down, the anomaly is coming from a remote region of space and precisely from an insignificant rock having standard flora and fauna. It seems like some unknown energy has manifested, gazing at me from there. Strange, very strange indeed.

Step 6:

As per standard protocol, I raised this anomaly to the upper echelons of the Angel hierarchy. Immediately I was told that nothing to worry about as this was the secret ingredient of “Consciousness” that was taking effect now. But I have this feeling that it's not something as insignificant as told but I again ignored those thoughts till He called the grand assembly out of nowhere.

The End:

The assembly was called and everyone from all corners of existence was there. Suddenly sirens went off and He with all His might was there. We can feel that He is not alone this time. He starts his address by introducing this being called Adam, a strange-looking item with no apparent unique characteristics. We are told to bow before him as this Adam is given the power of consciousness which made it to be a worthy being. Without hesitation, we all bowed knowing nothing about consciousness and the power it possesses. Strangely, one of our mates refused to bow and got into an argument with Him which we can't hear, to be honest. 

I am happy that I managed to finish my task in time, though I was not expecting this outcome with Adam in the end. Now, my job is to keep monitoring and reporting till the expiry date which I have no idea about but expect it to be any time soon.
