Both a deep-space irreverent science fiction blood-and-guts adventure of hands-on sextopod
deprivation, redemption and salvation; and a challenge to ones analytical abilities, perhaps
to the Outer Limits of ones breaking point! Amusing, confusing or "obtusing;"
brightening, blinding or befuddling; clarifying, clouding or contriving; expanding, engulfing
or enraging; enlightening, "obscenitizing" or "blasphemizing"; or just strange, eerie and a
little irreverent , but interesting?
Here, then, for your analytical enlightenment, expansion and enjoyment is:
Still the Blessed Mother --- She whom they worshipped, She who provided for them, She in whose most
gracious, ample and feminine form they were created, and She who dwelt in the Bosom of Heaven -- continued
to overlook their every waking and sleeping moment. Still Her Summits all aglow continued to shower down
upon them the holy embers to light the sacred fire.
Their doomed domain was barren of their barest necessities. The fire-blessed provisions of the last, truly
bountiful, Season of Plenty had long since been consumed. Without the herds of horny-headed bovinic beasts to
provide salvation, to bestow upon them the needed sustenance for curdling, curing, drying and smoking over the
sacred fire, the People starved. Their future had turned sour. Their moment of extinction was near at hand!
In their search for salvation, these proud People, fighting off utter desperation, left no iota of Fallen Heavenly
Material unchurned. They did all short of inviting eternal damnation. Yet prayer, pleading, imploring, begging,
self-torment and self-sacrifice were to no avail. Neither such acts of contrition, nor inspired excavations, opened
the Gates of Heaven. They were milked dry.
amongst her faithful followers carried her remains up to the very Summits of Heaven, the most formidable,
fearful, forbidding and forbidden abode of the Mother Herself, where they bore witness to Beldam's holey ghost,
tattered and torn, pierced and punctured, as was the corpse that they had carried, join with Beldam and the
Mother at the moment they tossed her defunct tortured torso into the conflagration erupting from the Holy
Summits, to be reborn as the Oneness and Godesshood of the "Threesome of the Mother, the Daughter and the
Holey Ghost."
The Milkmaids immediate response to the leadership's cries for help was to proclaim themselves the "Crme de
la Crme of the Mother's Madams." While creaming all opposition, they milked every opportunity to rise to the
top and further enrich themselves. "If the People firmly supported the uplifting of us and ours above all others,"
they brashly preached, "Beldam, the Beldame of Bedlam, the Founder and Grand Dame of our Order, shall be
resurrected by The Mother as the beatified and beautified 'Great Gorgeous Grandiose Grand Grandmother of all
of The Mother's Milkmaids'." Then, truly, shall she bring the People salvation, materializing through the very
Gates of Heaven Itself, in all her splendid glory, to sustain all with her own rich and ample sustenance."
However, as time passed and their prophesy failed to materialize through the Gates or elsewhere, it became clear
that the Milkmaids had utterly lost their grip and had by far over played their manipulative organ. The leaders
finally tested (without tasting) the Milkmaid's cream, unsnapped their underpinnings, and declared their dogma
to be "Ma of the Dog" (a small bitch of a canine scavenger that follows the herds; also as "evil" spelled
backwards means the opposite -- "live," so "Ma Dog" and "dogma" spelled backwards are "Am God"). They
had found these lusting ladies to be lackluster in lactations and malnourished in body and in spirit. Physically,
they were functional, yet dysfunctional, freshened (ala their lusty libidos), yet unfresh and sour. Spiritually, they
were worse, they were hopelessly barren and dry, and more frigid than frozen elementum! The milk of salvation
did not flow from them.
Not only had they been creamed and their aspirations nipped, some said nippled, in the bud, but to focus
discontent and dissension away from the failures of the leadership to provide salvation, the leaders determined to
serve up the sourly dour Grand Mother and her Prophetesses as scapegoats. Accordingly, these spoiled, soiled
sows were shunned as being "unclean," "ungiving of themselves," and "unworthy of The Mother," and they were
sentenced to be stoned with the Fallen Material of Heaven Itself (the Second Shunning). Being both highly
ethical and non-cannibalistic, their souring elixir and putrefying flesh would be left to rot untouched before the
very Gates of Heaven. Even when faced with extinction, the People would never imbibe any involuntarily
extracted life-giving elixir or partake of the body or blood of one of their own, though these Prophetesses had,
indeed, been adjudged false. Communion was not for them.
formerly degraded Milkmaids, was indeed in sight. They rejoiced, devouring devoutly.
But further divinity was at work. Not only did the holy flames prepare our self-sacrificing MAR-TYR for blessed
Communion, they activated the heat sensitive emergency signal in the translator-communicator strapped to his
waist, setting off a blaring emergency siren back at the nearly repaired MAR-TYR Space Ship. This spooked the
nearby growing angry multitudes of hungry, pent-up, pint-sized, pointy-headed bipedal bovinic beasts, into
stampeding in frustration and rage directly toward the offending sound, panicking the Space Ships "blankety
blank space jockey" into attempting a premature blast-off.
The resulting reverberating explosion, while destroying the ship and all personnel and records aboard, either
through happenstance or divine guidance, partially shook apart the Gates of Heaven. These enraged beasts,
suddenly sensing an escape route from their instinctual frustrations and hunger did an abrupt about face and
butted their way through the half ajar Gates and straight to their just rewards in the waiting briar patch fodder
fields. Awaiting these field feeders there were Beldam's Milkmaids, with their cold handed, yet erogenous elixir
extractions, and cold hearted and cold blooded, yet cunning coups de grace. Thanks to the self-sacrificing MARTYR who miraculously appeared out of Heaven itself to provide the necessary sustenance to hold back their
moment of extinction, the People of IT were alive to benefit from the return of the herds. They were now
content.
EPILOGUE
After IT had lain in the "crypt" for a time, the urbane Curator brought IT and a handful of other museum
relics home to educate and amuse the youngsters at the barbecue he was hosting. Just as he was
preparing to spit the meat, an inquisitive youngster, holding IT and several crossed crosses up, asked
what had happened to the tiny uncrossed cross's "horizontal bar." Upon close examination, the Curator
could find no indication of IT ever having had such a bar. Indeed, the sole and only shaft seemed to
pierce lengthwise, straight through the center of the body of the briar-crowned Saviour. "The Martyr
on the Spit - who was he," the child asked. Not being of the People, the MAR-TYR Memorial
Museum's quivering Curator could not answer.
