- "FIVE STORIES FROM THE METAPHYSICAL WORKSHOP"
- by THE GNN/DualCrew-Shining/uXu
-
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------
- Yes, I have stolen the name 'the metaphysical workshop'
- from Bob Slack, sysop at one of our distribution sites.
- I found the name quite interesting, and it inspired me
- to write this small file. Thanks Bob, I hope you do not
- mind too much...
- ----------------------------------------------------------

-
- Rain fell on me, soaked my clothes and left me freezing. It was dark in
- the woods and I was completely lost. Day had turned into thick night. I
- stumbled through the maze of trees, without any sense of direction.
- Then suddenly. Light! I saw light from a window in the distance. Close
- to me there was a small cabin, and when I got closer to it the door swung
- open all by itself. I entered and fell to the floor. The door closed.
- I felt the heat from an open fire at one end of the room and when I looked
- up I faced an old man. He smiled and grabbed my arms and pulled me up.
- Dizziness overwhelmed me as I stood up.
- - Welcome! I guess I have awaited you! You look tired, let me help you
- with your hat and coat.
- He took my hat and coat and placed them by the fire to dry. He wore
- a long white beard and must have been over eighty years old. The cabin had
- only one room. There was a stool, a rickety table and the walls were
- filled with frames - without any paintings inside them.
- The old man noticed my confusion.
- - My boy, do not worry. This is not an ordinary house. You are in the
- border zone of the real world and the transcendent reality. This is the
- metaphysical workshop. Since you are my guest, I will show you some of my
- paintings.
- - What paintings? The frames are completely empty!
- The old man put one finger to his mouth and hushed. He pointed at
- something behind me and I looked around. In one end of the room, one frame
- begun to glow. I walked closer. There was a sudden painting inside the
- frame and it moved like a motion picture.
- The five paintings in the metaphysical workshop began.
-
-
- FIRST PAINTING: THE KILL
-
- - Fuck her, he mumbled over and over again. Fuck her, fuck her, fuck
- that motherfucking bitch!
- He was a good-looking man, completely pissed off, sitting in the bar with
- a beer in his hand. He squeezed the glass so hard, that his friend on the
- other side of the table wondered if it was going to break any second.
- - Fuck her..., he moaned.
- - Actually, his friend said, I have not the slightest clue what you are
- talking about. Fuck who?
- - My wife. Fuck that bitch. I hate her.
- - Why?
- - I work like an animal, day in and day out, and the only thing she do
- when I get home is to complain. Complain, complain, complain! Fuck that
- bitch! I could kill her! I will kill her!
- His friend looked around. Nobody had heard them.
- - Wait a second! Calm down... you do not know what you are talking
- about! 'Kill her'? Give me a break! It cannot be that bad!
- - Oh, it can... it sure ca. Some day, I will kill her!
- - No, you will not. You do not want to kill her. You are simply totally
- pissed off at the moment. Tomorrow, everything will be much better.
- - No way!
- - Listen! You are only angry! Your mind does not listen to reason! You
- could kill anyone at the moment, just to get rid off your anger!
- The man looked at his friend with a calm face.
- - You are right.
- Then he shot his friend in the head. He died immediately.
-
-
- SECOND PAINTING: THE LAST WISH
-
- He spoke to his two grown-up children.
- - I am old.
- His children stared at him.
- - What do you mean? Old?
- - I am old, and my heart is bad. I will not live much longer. My doctor
- gave me the news today. I will die in less than six months.
- - Dad...
- - Do not worry, it will be hard for you. But do not worry. I am
- prepared and ready. I have only one last wish. I want to live through
- christmas and I want to experience the new year. Then I can die in peace.
- I know God will be with me and let me live for those few weeks before he
- takes me. I thank him for his mercy.
- It had been five days to christmas when he told his children the sad
- news. The next day, his heart weakened and he had to be rushed to the
- hospital. He did not live for six months, he died three weeks later. But
- God had helped him with his wish. He had lived through the christmas and
- into the new year. But not really how he had wanted to live. He did not
- experience anything, since he was in a deep coma the last three weeks.
-
-
- THIRD PAINTING: THE RAPE
-
- He moaned and pulled out his sore dick from her bleeding rectum.
- - Bitch, he grunted through his whiskey-soaked lips. Did you like it?
- Did you? Was it good for you too, eh? Fucking whore!
- It was a lie, but he enjoyed saying it to his victims: - To fulfill your
- excitement, let me also welcome you to a deadly disease that there is no
- cure for!
- He spelled the word slowly.
- - A... I... D... S...
- The woman turned her badly beaten face to him. She opened her eyes and
- said with a soft, but mean, voice: - It is not worse the second time.
-
-
- FOURTH PAINTING: THE FRONT LINE
-
- People screamed, people were blown to pieces, people shot and people died
- in the trench. I tried to keep my head down as the enemy approached us.
- The attack was unexpected, which means that it was a good attack.
- - Third platoon! Get going for christ sake! screamed the sergeant.
- A grenade exploded only ten metres from me with a loud bang. Blood and
- body parts rained over us. I rose from the trench and fired a few rounds.
- The sound from my gun almost made me deaf. A screaming man without his
- left arm ran past me. A second later, someone blew his brains away.
- - Use your guns! Shoot! someone yelled hysterically.
- I saw my own platoon die, one by one. Bullets riddled men to nothing,
- grenades mutilated us.
- Then we heard the familiar sound of artillery fire. Loud, deep, dull
- bangs echoed through the battle fields. I saw flames by the horizon.
- Suddenly everything turned silent. Nobody fired.
- - Do you think they have aimed at us? a friend of mine whispered to me.
- - We will soon find out...
- I prayed to God, Satan, Mohammed, every damn power I knew that the shells
- were not meant for us. But I was wrong. The yelling sound of incoming
- bombs pierced my ears and into my brain. I awaited the explosion and my
- own death. I closed my eyes hard and waited.
- I must have been waiting for minutes before I dared to open my eyes. I
- was alive! I looked around to check out my platoon.
- Something was wrong. Nobody moved. They had not died, everything looked
- like a frozen film. Eyes stared into nothing, running people stood still
- in the middle of the air. I looked up and saw six grenade shells above us,
- in the air! They did not move. Everything was silent. There was a sound
- behind me and I turned around. A man with a black suit and white tie stood
- on the edge of the trench and looked at me. He reached for my hand and
- pulled me up.
- - Shall we go? he asked me. With a deep sigh I followed him and I knew
- exactly where we were going.
-
-
- FIFTH PAINTING: THE INHERITANCE
-
- The boy felt the light breeze stroking his hair. The wind was much
- stronger here on the small mountain than down by the house. He enjoyed the
- view. Everywhere he looked, he saw more mountains, woods and houses. In
- the back of his head, something told him that he was looking at a
- kingdom. A big kingdom full of wealth and power.
- - Everything you see is mine, said the old man beside him. I own all of
- this. I own the houses, the woods and the mountains!
- - I know grandpa, the boy said.
- The old man went to the edge of the cliff and looked down.
- - Come here. What do you see down there?
- The boy did not move.
- - Come on grandpa! I know what is down there! It is our house!
- - Yes, yes... you are right. I am old, and I will die soon. When I am
- dead, all of this will be yours. The houses, the woods and the mountains!
- All of it will be yours. Do you understand what I am saying?
- The boy looked confused. He was young, only nine years old.
- - I think so... when you pass away, you will give everything to me.
- The old man smiled.
- - Right, my boy! Everything! Some day it will be yours!
- The houses, woods and mountains became his the next day. On that small
- mountain, all that had been required was a hard kick in the back of the old
- man to get him off the cliff.
-
-
-
- The pictures in the paintings slowly faded away into nothing, revealing a
- dark wall inside the frames.
- - Quite a show! I said.
- The old man stroke his beard and said: - Thank you. I am glad they
- amused you.
- - How do you do this?
- - I analyze the present causal mechanism in the world. I work with it
- and sometimes I manage to come up with bizarre things. What I make, are
- real incidents. It is nothing special.
- - You have created all of this? In my world?
- - It is my world too.
- - Are you God?
- - No, there is no God. I am simply the headmaster of metaphysics.
- - Metaphysics... I have always thought that the transcendent reality was
- not available for us.
- - And you are right! It is not for everyone. You have been lucky.
- Welcome back some other day, if you manage to find me.
- The door swung open. The old man gave me my hat and coat. The rain
- outside was cold and disturbing. But I did not mind. I had seen the
- metaphysical workshop.
