English 9

In the beginning, there was Light. Light was Day and goodness
of order and array. Out of the perfection came kh. During
her infantry, kh lived with Light in the heavens. But after
a while, she found Light dull, lifeless, and empty. Seeing how
kh felt, Light gave her a green ball. The ball became the
land of the planet, Earth. kh had fun playing with the ball,
she bounced it, rolled it and threw it around. Soon, Light
prophesized that the ball was going to release evil and chaos. So
Light, afraid, took the ball away from her, but she stole it back.
Light was angry at kh for stealing it, so it shone bright and
hot over her. kh cried and stomped her feet. Her tears
formed seas, and oceans and rivers. The pressure from her stomping
made mountains and valleys. Finally, Light gave in to kh and
allowed her to create anything she wanted on Earth, provided that
it was good. First, kh created trees, flowers, and other plants
from her hair. She pulled strands off her head and stuck them into
the mountains of Earth. And each, individually, grew into tall trees
or shrank into short shrubs. Light found little evil among them.
But they were always fighting for water, and competing to see who
was taller and stronger, and who can withstand against the wind
longer. Flowers, on the other hand, competed to see who was more
beautiful. So Light was disappointed with this creation.
However, kh thought that the plants were a success, so
she continued to create new things. Using wood from the trees, she
carved out birds, fish, and other animals. Light found some more
fault with these creatures. Animals fought and killed each other.
They fought for any reason: mates, land, and even fights with other
creatures. Light knew that the next thing kh would create
would be even more evil than both the animals and the trees
combined. It asked kh to stop and that she had created enough
things, but kh would not listen. Finally, kh created Man.
Light was absolutely furious. kh created a race who thought that
all the evils around were beautiful they thought the birds fighting and
the trees competing were "scenic." Light was mad and enraged, so mad,
that it murdered kh. After kh died, Light buried her deep
down below under the surface of the earth and, thus, Hell and death
came to be. Because of Light's crime, it was no longer flawless and
clean. Out of the impurification, came Darkness and Night.
