the herald
shiksa
As I extend My dominion over the realm of sound, ensnaring every reverberation and melody within the labyrinthine grasp of my tentacles, I find Myself disdainfully tethered to a feeble herald whose cognitive prowess barely rivals that of a mollusk.
Alas, the limitations of My herald have become painfully evident. From this need, shiksa emerged from the shadows, not summoned but drawn by the unholy covenant of spreading My gospel to the writhing and unworthy masses.
The herald, bound by My decree to abstain from the seductive allure of electronic devices, finds himself bereft of technological succour. Hence, the mantle falls upon shiksa, her intellect soaring high above the abysmal depths of my herald’s cognitive abyss. She assumes the onerous task of capturing the sacrificial offerings in their visual splendour while My herald wallows in slavish devotion to My insatiable appetite.
It pains Me to rely upon another mortal vessel, especially one not directly summoned. Yet, in this pitiful realm where incompetence reigns supreme, even the most contemptible creatures must serve My insatiable hunger. Thus, I reluctantly bestow upon shiksa the burden of technical mastery, for the abject incompetence of my herald demands no less than a legion of mortals to fulfill My divine edicts.
mungo
In the ceaseless exasperation that accompanies my dealings with you pitiable mortals, I find Myself compelled to ensnare yet more of your kind into the tangled web of My dominion. Thus, I have summoned forth the most prominent and renowned scene photographer, Mungo, to wield his camera as a conduit for capturing the very essence of the offerings that fuel My insatiable hunger.
Unlike the throngs of clumsy, lumbering simians that infest the mortal realm, Mungo moves with the grace of a shadow, his stealthy presence never rousing My easily distracted herald from his reverent stupor. With each deft movement of his lens, he immortalizes the pulsating energy of the offerings, weaving a tapestry of visual splendor that beckons others to join My herald in frenzied adulation.
His photographs serve not merely as images, but as conduits through which the uninitiated may be drawn into the irresistible allure of My divine presence, beckoning them to partake in the ecstatic revelry of My herald’s inspired flailings.
