Great Rearrangement

The Great Rearrangement
Our creator, Crake was once very lonely. He and Mother Oryx were the only two living. So he made the bones of us out of the coral on the beach, and then he made our flesh out of a mango. He is caring of us and gave us names. Though we have never seen our creator, we know he is there.

As he watched over us, he sent Mother Oryx to teach us the knowledge of nature. Mother Oryx told us what food to eat, and what things might hurt us. She repeated these things till we remembered. Day after day, she came and taught us. Until one day before she left, she said to us, “Here and not here is the same thing. I will always watch over you.”

Then she never came back and met with us. Day after day, we waited, not knowing what to do. But we remembered what Mother Oryx told us and we waited. We asked our creator Crake, “what should we do?”

Crake heard our voices, so he sent us Snowman. Snowman was from the place of Oryx and Crake. He was also created by Crake but looked very different from us. He was there to take us to a new place. Snowman told us what Crake said to him,”It is time for my children to live in a better place.”

Snowman said Crake fell into a bad dream he could not get rid of. The world turned into Chaos because of that. And the world stayed that way for some time. That was the age of Great Emptiness. To keep us safe, Crake kept us in the place where we were created and sent Mother Oryx to take care of us. But he eventually suffered too much and had to call Mother Oryx back to help him clean away the Chaos.

When Snowman took us out of where we lived, we came across Chaos. The Chaos had a very bad smell. Part of them were animals that looked like Snowman. They were also once created by Crake, but they did not listen to Crake and made Crake fall into the bad dream. They made horrible sound. But they did not get to hurt us because Snowman had a noisy stick given by Crake. When the Chaos tried to get close, Snowman used that to make them go away.

In the end, we were safe to get to the new place Crake built for us. We all praised its beauty. And for the first time, we saw birds. We asked Snowman, “What is this placed called?” Snowman said, “Crake has named it-Home.”
