Everyone knows at this point that I've been working on my novel. So I wanted to let my readers know that I'm actually working and not slacking. So here is a short excerpt from the beginning of the book. Let me know what you think.
The Beginning
In the beginning there was Darkness. Then an explosion! Then Darkness again…
Within this Darkness lay an egg and within this egg lay Eternity. The Darkness thought that perhaps it should hatch Eternity, but knew full well that Eternity was not yet ready to hatch. The cosmic egg was still far too fresh and what lay inside was still just a nasty clump of cosmic goo.
Eventually, with only an egg to keep it company, the Darkness grew lonely and in the tranquil sea of the abyss there grew a simple longing and that longing was for decoration of his domain and, of course, companionship. The Darkness created from itself inhabitants to decorate and the inhabitants of this dark universe began to do just that. Before long they had completed their great works, unfortunately it was still dark and nobody could see a thing.
Before long the inhabitants began to trip on the decorations that they couldn’t see and Chaos was born. The swirling sea of the dark abyss was stirred time and again by the clumsiness of the inhabitants and it grew very hot. The abyss became one with Chaos and Chaos lived within the Darkness. Chaos gave the first glow to the universe. Eventually the inhabitants grew fond of the glow and would come every cycle to stand by the incandescent, swirling sea. This left Darkness alone yet again. Even though Darkness spanned the entire length of the universe, it found that it could not enjoy the glow, because, as it observed, wherever the glow was Darkness could not be.
The cycles passed and the inhabitants gathered time and again by the sea’s glow, leaving Darkness to its own brooding loneliness. The entire long while, it vigilantly watched the egg for a sign that Eternity was ready. It was in this manner that Time crawled into the hallowed nook of Heaven’s arms and napped. Eternity shaped and molded within the egg’s womb.
