Lilith's Plan

The Burning Bush stood silent, realizing that something was amiss in the Heavens. “What hath you done, wind-demon?” Metatron asked.

“I thought it was him who called me, I thought…”

“What hath you done?” Metatron interrupted Lilith.

“I am Lilith, the Disease-Bearer, the Wind-Spirit, the Mother of All Monsters,” she replied. “I am Shub-Niggurath, the Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young. I was banished and contained, kept like a pet in a cage. In a cage!

“I am not of this earth, am not limited to it,” she continued. “You were distracted, intent on watching my Dark Young slowly reborn, spreading their own diseases and infections, you failed to notice what I was doing.”

“What hath you done!?!” Metatron screamed.

“I whispered — oh so quietly I whispered — to my brother winds in the troposphere, who passed it along to the stratosphere, then the mesosphere, and so on. Until the cosmic winds heard my command and moved things. Oh yes, I made the stars right. I made R’lyeh rise. I made Cthulhu awaken.”

    Okay, that’s all from me for now. Three ficlets in a row is a lot. But… I explained everything I wanted to, I think. And messed things up enough for all. Yup, I’m all about messing things up.

    We’re here to entertain, Fyora, so I’m glad we succeeded.

    Yes, you did succeed! My only curiosity at this point is the potential for offshoot mini-plots? In which the characters’ defining traits are greatly exaggerated and characters that should be dead come back to life via plot-hole in order to add vastly amusing hilarity?

    Wait, Fyora, isn’t that what we’re doing already?

    Well, I believe that at some point one of you three mentioned an orgy or a same-sex wedding? I haven’t seen either of those yet…

    That all happened in the in-between spaces between Ficlets. It was when Alec and his rats had an orgy, Simon and Blake were wed (it was anulled the next day), there was a tea party, a succubus with a pony, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse serving ice cream, and — of course — a musical number or two.

    I like the sense of impending doom.
    .
    And your commentary is priceless.
