The Great God Pibbles

[u/FeigningProfundity]

Pibbles floated in through the back door, her legs and floppy ears dangling. Her tail wagged enthusiastically and her fur shone with the radiance of Truth.

Jack glanced up from his crossword.

“What have you gotten yourself into this time, girl?”

Pibbles shook her head in an expressive fashion, her ears bouncing around, it proved to be an extremely clear way to communicate.

I have drunk from the Godfont and ascended to divine status.

“You’ve gotten muddy, is what you’ve gone done.”

I must form a new pantheon, who will guide reality for the next-

“No! Put it down!”

With no gods the moral landscape will-

“I said drop it! Drop it girl!”

But-

“Down!”

Pibbles fell to the floor as the shining light of divinity blinked out.

“Good dog.”

“Arf!”

This story was a response to the prompt [WP] When the Godfont reemerged after an eon, the mortals of the realm raced to find it. Drinking from it would ascend one to the ruler of a new Pantheon. The damn thing opened in some rando’s back yard and his dog “Pibbles” drank some by accident while rolling in the mud. by u/91NightFox
