 A Christmas Story:

A Family of 17, A Husband & Wife, His Sister & Mother, Her incestuous Brother and their 12 children of Unspecified Parentage, are facing another Christmas in which they have nothing. The Husband is a broken down drug addict, the Wife; a worn out whore whose hands were bitten off by wolves years earlier. The Others are all wretchedly misshapen carnival rejects, none of them is able to sleep a single night without wetting their bed or weeping all night, sniveling with cowardly fear. 

With Christmas only a week away, each of them makes a pack with the devil to sell their souls in return for a delightful gift for each of their housemates, never thinking for a moment of anything for themselves. 

When Christmas morning arrives, they find a beautiful christmas tree that is half buried with presents. Each present is the most wonderful present that any of them could possibly imagine. 

Each of them made the same arrangement with the devil, They would be given all the presents for their family, and 7 years of reasonably good fortune, before lucifer would collect their souls, and their hollow spirit would fall into the eternal furnace of Hell. 

At The end of the 6th Year, they celebrate a comfortable Christmas and each finally confesses that they sold their souls, and that next year, they would forfeit their most precious vapor to the library of Beelzebub, and thereafter suffer without hope of a moment of reprieve.  

Each Weeps for The others, but not a single tear falls for their own misfortune.

When The last Christmas arrives, Satan appears and each honorably surrenders their gossamer underwear, then leaps into the pit of fire.

10,000 years creep by, and each day is filled with the wailing of the lost creations of gawd. After all this time; The Kingdom of Satan finally ends, and the ashes of The burnt souls are collected by grumbling angels. 

The grey soot is then thrown into a sea of heaven, where the spirits are reconstituted into tiny fish that swim aimlessly in the ocean, confused & uneasy, but free of the pain that they were forced to endure for the millennia in Hades. 

After another 10,000 years, The fish are caught up in a net. Each of the fish is just as confused as the day they fell into the sea, and are only vaguely aware of what is happening as each is gutted and eaten by angels.

Their preserved souls have long since dripped on the floor of the library, the pages that they were once preserved on, have rotted away, and having been eaten by worms.

The souls collect in the cracks on the tile floor and merge into a collective entity that waits patiently until they find a bird that washes its wings with this mysterious fluid. The Souls possess the bird and eat all the other pages that hold the other souls. This great collective soul is then greater than the light of lucifer when it was still held high in heaven, and is even greater than the light of gawd.

It then flies to heaven, attacks & pecks gawd to pieces.

The Angels, confused with the madness of this circumstance, flee without bothering to throw a single magazine at the bird as it tears the eyes from gawds sockets.

The Universe is then left is disorder and randomality burns at its edges until each soul falls without the protection of gawd, covered with sores and breaks apart into dust.

Only The Bird Remains in the end, and forms a new universe, but this new gawd is an exact duplicate of all the previous gawds that existed before it. 

All the old mistakes are repeated,
