The Sparkle Letters

Dear Princess,

Today I met someone who does not believe in God.

It sounds absurd, right? Someone who doesn't believe in the existence of their greatest ruler? But here he is--a man who refuses to believe in God, or in 'Allah' (apparently another god of this world), or in any of the numerous other deific figures. He insists that no rational person would believe in something they cannot prove exists. I asked him if he had ever met God. He said that nobody has.

What kind of ruler is this God? He demands strange and unusual acts of his followers, kills them out of spite or frustration, and then refuses to step up and lead his people? He just sits in "Heaven" all day and night, watching from his hidden kingdom, letting horrible things happen to test the faith of his followers. I think I understand why there are humans who do not believe God exists. Maybe it would be better to not have a ruler than to have a ruler so wicked.

I observed the fight, laying in wait. At first, it seemed to be over instantly; the smaller, weaker one was clearly no match for the other. But then, I observed something utterly baffling. The larger one began forcefully mating with the smaller one.

Perhaps these humans feed on each other's emotions, much like my kind do? But if so, I would have felt it, would have had the opportunity to feed. This was something utterly different. It is true, I do enjoy trapping a pony--watching them squirm as I draw my sustenance from them, but it is still feeding. Perhaps this creature simply enjoys the thrill of the hunt? I waited and waited, until it was done.
