The intriguing photo below was provided by Ted Strutz
Bones creaking, muscles screaming, God dropped into the chair to rest. Stroking his beard, he looked out over the river. How could humans be indifferent to the fish gasping for breath in the toxic waters, the sighs of the trees as they struggled to fight the acid rain that clogged their arteries, the cries of the starving polar bears? Exhausted, he knew his work was not done. Whales were beached on sandbars exposed by dwindling oceans, whole animal species were being wiped out.
He was tired of fighting the malice of humans. He may just have to go nuclear and start over.
Word Count: 102
Thanks for reading.

Going nuclear would probably further damage the biosphere, so it’s no quick fix.

I think God doesn’t have to bother, we’re quite capable of going nuclear ourselves it seems. Nice take. Love the image of God slumping on a chair and giving up with us!

That was a different take on the prompt. Personally, I’d prefer he re-visited the flood scenario.

Thanks. Isn’t awful that a massive flood seems like a good option?

It’a good thing for us that God never does become weary and need to sit down–but I’m sure there are lots of times when, as He shakes His head in dismay, the thunder and lightening crash and make us wonder about another flood.

Thanks for your comment. I think we can only hope he doesn’t get so frustrated with us that he does go nuclear.

In Revelation, there is the description of the earth melting “with a fervent heat.” One wonders–are we talking about a nuclear blast, or God’s wrath? Either way, it won’t be pretty.

I wonder if God ever curses the day He gave us freedom of choice? Great story.

Dear Cindy,
At the rate we’re going God won’t have to do it, we’ll just destroy ourselves. At any rate I enjoyed your perspective. Well done.
Shalom,

I think He’s shown remarkable restraint by letting us get this far without hitting “reset”. Great story 🙂

The whole “free will” thing has gotten out of hand. I like the reboot idea.

Thanks, although I don’t think God will include us silly humans in his new world.

Yes, I think that’s probably his best option. Nuclear being the modern day equivalent of the flood. Looks like God will have to do it regularly because humans never learn.

I think maybe man is about to do that. God’s will?
A good reminder!

Personally I don’t think God cares because there are billions of stars and planets, what’s one little blue planet? But your story came from such a compassionate place, it did warm my heart.

Perhaps god should ship us all of to a hostile planet – till we learn to care for his creation.
