God got to the seventh day, but wasn’t happy – there at the end – on the fringes, so he took three and a half giant steps backwards and sat down to protect his space on a lump of sandstone rock, right there in the middle of Myddle, and he liked what he saw, so he moved in.
One day, he thought. One day, when I have got past the worst, when I have sat here long enough to find comfort in my mid-life tummy spread; one day, on that day, I will think about moving on out to confront the end again. Until then, I will sit in. But every now and then, just on the odd occasion, I will treat myself, and take a step back – not a big step, more of a shuffle, just to take a sneaky peak at what might still be going on at the beginning of things, before I make my way back again to the Myddle.
