Conversation with God

"I'm God."

"Oh! So we in Aqualaria were wrong in thinking that everything was created by an all-powerful Goddess, then?"

"I'm afraid so, Astra. I created your world. As I was saying, I'm sorry for having kept you waiting. I just popped out for a smoke."

"For a thousand years?!" Fred protested.

"When you have all eternity in front of you, as I have, you realise that there's no need to rush anything. Besides, it's not as though it's been very busy here lately. You two are the only people in the afterlife, in fact. Apart from me, of course, depending on whether or not you think that I count as 'people'. Actually, it was only 954 years that you've been waiting, so you shouldn't complain. But now that I'm here, is there anything that I can do for you?"

3. "I'm afraid that humankind is now extinct, so you'll have a big task ahead of you."
4. "Or if you'd like a change, I could send you to a different world."
