But Creatures
We are but creatures. Creatures with belts and rings, beards and scars, shoes and keys. We carry disease and bitter pain. We fester sickness and rot. We create death, we undo life. There is nothing inside of us except instinct and defunct genes. How can you look around and see His image? How can you think perfection was put into us? You are fools. You are blinded fools. We are but flesh. We are but creatures.

The whole world was presented to him in a gloriously vibrant panorama. The clouds were taped to the rich blue sky and the grass below seemed welcoming and healthy, like the ground had never felt hurt. All of civilization seemed so small and forgettable beneath him. The rushing air felt firm and natural against his face. Colors and other visual stimulus screamed at him as he continued his descent.
