Day Fifty: Tag--You're God!


You're everywhere. You're omnivorous--Homer Simpson, to God

When did I realize I was God? Well, I was praying and I suddenly realized I was talking to myself--
Peter O'Toole

Yes, I rather like this God fellow. He's very theatrical, you know, a pestilence here, a plague there. Omnipotence. Gotta get me some of that--
Stewie Griffin 
Baby character in animated TV series 'Family Guy'. 






This exercise from the book The Three AM Epiphany:

God.The Spectrum of narrative perspectives goes from benighted, flawed, unreliable first-person narrations to godlike omniscience--all-knowing understanding of everyone's thoughts and deepest motives. But God's POV is also, presumably, a first-person narration--or perhaps God speaks occasionally in the royal we or the second-person plural. What would God see? How would God know a very ordinary set of events--or how could mere human readers see all that a god (let alone God) sees? Since God should know how to be efficient and get right to the point, do this exercise in only 200 words.
