One day it started

While working on a demolition project at the adjunct area, evidently the former offices of Heaven and Hell, Mij came across a file area of some sort, while doing his assigned task of remodeling Hell.  Not knowing what he was doing, as new to the spot, and not trained for the title or retrained according to his VA manual in retirement, Mij tripped on the following excerpt, titled, start of it all. 

3, 2, 1, It's February 11, 2.30pm.

It took him a minute to gather what wits he had about him in a state of nothing, and noticed it was 2:31pm, and she hadn't arrived yet.  Having a minute or two of forever to think about it, he wondered what she was doing, and why there was nothing going on, as he really expected she'd already be here, doing something or other, perhaps to herald his arrival more cermoniously than an arrival at 2:30 pm into absolute nothing, and to at least to have checked the reservations and facilities, of which none existed. 

He didn't exactly know what to do.  For himself, nothing seemed more than good enough, as it was more than it had been prior, to, no, there was no prior to 2:30 pm, and no watch to go by, as she wasn't here, no watching allowed, as nothing to see, do but perhaps wait, in case there had been an error in arriving at all, as nobody else seemed to have arrived, no reservations, and evidently would be awhile before anything at all would show up, or be created, until someone started doing something.  About that time, 2:42pm, it occurred to him, that was likely his department, and he set about making plans, tidying up nothing, when lo and behold, she apparently sneaked up from behind and...

"What took you, I'm busy."

" I was delayed, what's wrong dear"

"Well when I got here, you weren't around, there was nothing to do, now I'm busy, have apparently a job, why?  What did you have in mind?

Well, I like it, there's just the two of us, I thought we'd get laid first

What, start a family on this, nothing??:????  Are you out of your mind..... ok, what were you doing since this started, I've been here 15 minutes already, and I'm now self employed, doing nothing, but still.

Well, I was working on a different agenda, and frankly you need to move over a bit of your nothing, as that's my nothing you're standing on

You're nothing, I was here first. 

It's a community property state of nothing, or you don't get laid, in case you want to find out what that's like, I suggest you work on materializing like I am, trust me, you'll love it.

I already love it, I suspected that's why we were late, though we didn't exist prior to 2:30, and its already near the top of the hour.  How are you doing that anyway, its quite distracting dear, and I have nothing to do with it, but you're able to do something

Right, and that's why I know that's my nothing you're standing on. 

But I'm not standing on anything, I'm just here, not actually physically here, but at least in mind and soul.

Fine, but you don't get all the goodies of seeing or ,,,,,, etc, more of me, until we take a break, create this Heaven and Hell thing, then you'll find out what I mean about getting laid. 

Then the recording ran out for a while in blank, Heaven and Hell appeared, but the partners seemed to have disappeared into nothing, without leaving the plans behind.  Mij figured, he could figure out the construction techniques, as he was male, clueless, and likely could determine who was boss.  Likely His boss, the Woman Called God, who obviously knew a bit more about something, despite being late with his instructions, she did seem to know what she wanted, how it should be.  She appeared to be a single or perhaps divorced and available Boss, perhaps if he did something right in the Remodel of Hell, she'd at least tell him if this original co-builder ever actually got laid. 

Irregardless, history appears to have started at 2:30pm, February 11, prior to the actual building of Hell, but possibly in its origination, groundwork was laid in advance, as the guy noted in the conversation.  Nonetheless, his employer seems to know all about it, and had not suggested Mij feel lucky in the assignment, just get on with the task at hand. Mij wondered if he should recruit Nej, and her hoarde of perhaps not laid Venusians in the process, as the sort of approved of eternal workforce in the dark about nothing as much as Mij had been prior to this discovery, labeled the original record of the Universe. 

Apparently, it still tops the charts.
