Day 1: Well I suppose I should finally restart my science fair project. Mother said that I should, “Make sure to get out of bed early so you don’t miss the best part of the day.” Well, Mother, I’d like to point out that I haven’t even created the best part of the day so haha what do you think of that one, Mother?
Though I did get a late start, so I suppose I should do something. Umm… I think I’ll make water and pool some up in a ball. Yes that’ll work. Then I can set a lamp above it and that’ll be the star. Sol. Son? No the SUN! Yes I’m brilliant, I tell you. But Son is an interesting one; I should save that for later. Make it a patch in case something funny happens with this project.
I think that’ll do for today. Time to go to bed.
Day 2: So I slept in again. Mother says I definitely need to get this done because it’s due in a few days. I told her I’ll finish it by day 6 and sleep all day on day 7. It’ll work, I promise.
Alright so half a day. Half a day to do what, exactly? I could make sure the water ball stays in one place. Yes that’ll do. I’ll separate the water ball from the the the the HEAVENS yes. And the in between will be the sky and will be filled with air. There we go it’s actually starting to look like something now. Time for dinner and then maybe I’ll work on it a bit more later.
Day 3: I fell asleep after dinner so this morning I created land. It’s like the ocean, but dry and there’s not much water to be found except for the stuff still running off. I guess I should call them something. I’m particularly fond of this place in my head called San Diego and some sport I’m sure to name football, though it’ll be played with your hands and an egg looking thing. Oh I know I’ll name them rivers!
But the ground looks boring. Brown isn’t much to look at. I should throw in some green. But how? Let’s start with tiny things that people won’t know exist for a while. Cells. Yes that’s good. And some of them will have green things in them so that they can eat the light. This isn’t very well thought out but it’ll do. And when a lot of cells come together they’ll be called…. Plants! Because you plant them, you see? No? Fine, but I’m still calling them plants.
Day 4: I realized that I’m writing days but I don’t really know what a ‘day’ is. Maybe I should get on that. I’ve devised this idea where there will be 7 days in a thing called a week and 52 weeks in a bigger thing called a year. I’ll let someone else name them though. For right now I need to figure out how to tell when a day has passed. I have the lamp still but it just kinda sits there, on all the time. Sleeping is hard with it constantly staring you in the face.
I’ve got it! I’ll create night! And it’ll have a smaller lamp that’s more like a mirror. Actually, it’ll just be a mirror, yes, but it’ll be a little scraped up so it doesn’t reflect all the light. And I’ll spin the mud ball so that the plants don’t get burned up all on one side and so I can have plants on the entire ball. I should name the ball. I’m going to say Earth because that sounds very avant-garde.
Yes this is all good. I should set it up and let it run for a bit to see if it actually works.
Day 5: The thing worked! I woke up this morning and the Earth was still spinning and none of the plants are dead. Well actually a few of them died and these weird not-plant things showed up and started eating some of them. I should probably clean that up, but I’m going to just leave them and say that I made those too. They only seem to like the water and air, though. That’s different. I much prefer the land myself, but who am I to judge? Wait that’s right.
I’ll leave it for another day just to be sure everything is running ok.
Day 6: So the Earth is still spinning, the plants are still alive, and the non-plants (I think I’ll call them animals) are still wondering about alright. Though I feel it’s still missing something. I’m not quite sure yet. I have to figure this out though because I promised mother I’d be done by this afternoon so we could go to the zoo tomorrow. I should probably invent that too but then again I’ve really only scratched the surface here. I definitely shouldn’t have done this in 6 days. Probably more like 100 or something. Oh well what’s done is done.
Day 7: It’s currently 1 am and I realized what I forgot: land animals. How could I forget those?? I’ll have to make a lot of different ones, you know. I’ll start small with rodents and work my way up. But nothing too big. And I guess I should put different kinds and try out different species to see which works best. I’ll get back to you on that.
It’s now 7 am and I finished the dinosaurs. They don’t seem to be too smart, though. I guess I liked the idea of giant lizards so much and completely forgot about the brain. And I have these small things called guinea pigs. They’re absolutely adorable, but whenever I try and put them on the Earth, the lizards all step on them and eat them. But how do I get rid of all the lizards? They just run away when I try and pick them up.
A ROCK! Yes I’ll make a rock like the moon but smaller and I’ll throw it at the Earth. And then after the dust settles I’ll put the guinea pigs in. Brilliant I tell you! But I need something that appreciates the guinea pigs as much as I do that’ll protect them from other animals.
It’s 11pm and I’m short on ideas so I decided to stack up a bunch of mud shaped like me and bring it to life. I’ll name him Adam. (He’ll think he chose the name but it was actually me.) And oh I suppose he needs a friend. He looks pretty upset and alone. I’ll just pluck a bit out of his chest and make a prettier Adam. But calling them both Adam will get confusing. What to name it? Well it is late in the evening so how about Eve?? Yes I like this one. And it’ll be a woman instead of a man, which is what Adam is. She’s much nicer than Adam, so I suppose she should be the one that has the little men and women so she can take care of them.
There’s still much to do. I’ll just tell Adam and Eve I did all of this in 6 days so they don’t tell mother. Don’t need her angry after I already broke the last universe and had to start over. Better keep them in this garden thing for now until I finish it all up so they don’t know I’m lying.
