Glitch Creation Story-Chapter 1: Alph Makes Everything

Before the Glitches and before the giants, there was nothing. An empty supermarket hall if you will. There was, however, one giant who chose to exist one fateful day in Remember. His name was Alph, and soon after he decided to exist, he realized how lonely the rest of the universe was without other things and people to keep him company.
Having nothing else to do, Alph decided to think. And think. And think. When all of a sudden, he shut his many eyes and saw a moving pink blob thing. He had never seen this before in all his years of existence. He liked the little pink blob thing and decided to make more of that creature. He named them piggies.
Problems arose for the piggies soon, however, as the piggies were quick to get hungry.
"Feed us, Alph! Feed us!" The piggies cried and squealed. Alph, saddened to see his creations going hungry, closed his eyes again to think of something that would satisfy them. He thought and thought and thought and he created a small red food that his piggies could eat. He called it a cherry, and gave some to all of his piggies. This did not keep the piggies satisfied for long, however, the piggies soon cried more, "Give us more, we're still hungry!" Alph realized that he could not just feed them once, so he decided to create a way that there would always be good food for the piggies, and he would not have to give them food each time. He closed his eyes again and thought some more, and then a tall brown thing appeared, which Alph decided to call a cherry TREE.
Alph liked the idea of having trees, and decided to put more things on trees. He took some gas from the air and planted it deep into the ground, and out sprung a gas plant. He took a piggie egg that was left behind by a piggie and made an egg tree. Alph got sad soon, because the ground he had planted these trees in were not adequate for them to grow in and soon began to die. Alph quickly tried to figure out how to save his new creations. He closed his eyes once again and began to think and think, and then decided, "What if I could feed the plants through the ground?" So the Great Creator created soil and earth that could allow the trees and plants to be fed.
The soil was not enough, though, because the plants needed light to grow. The trees moaned to Alph, "Please give us light, O Great Creator, so we might grow high to the skies." So Alph closed his eyes yet again and thought and thought until the sun was created.
His problems did not stop at creating the sun, however, because the plants and trees soon got very thirsty and hot, and wanted to cool down a bit. So Alph closed his eyes yet again and thought and thought and then all of a sudden he created night, where trees can rest from basking in the light of the sun. He also created water and rain to give the plants and trees a nice drink.
The trees were then very happy, and as a result, the piggies were very happy, until one sad day in Jully, when the piggies complained that they were getting bored with themselves. They argued that they were tired of everybody being a piggie, and wanted Alph to create another species of animal. Alph thought and thought until he thought of a white creature that could fly. The chicken was created, and the chickens and the pigs had many happy adventures, until they got bored of one another and wanted yet another species of animal. Alph decided to think some more, and gave the piggies and the chickens butterfly pals, who would offer advice to the other creatures. To be continued...

  • Glitch Creation Story-Chapter 2: Humbaba befriends the animals

    Humbaba then visited with Alph, and noticed the strange creatures dancing about his feet. Upon asking Alph what these fanciful creatures were, he discovered that they were called piggies, butterflies, and chickens. Humbaba, being the gentle soul he was, took an immediate fondness to the creatures, and requested that he might take one of each species home. Alph allowed this, and Humbaba returned home with his new subjects in tow. 

    Upon returnal to home, Humbaba found himself quite hungry from his journey. Kneeling down by his new piggy, he gently requested some meat. The piggy looked up and said blatantly, "Give me some love first, friend." Humbaba scolded himself for his insensitivity, and gently stroked the piggy. The piggy relaxed and relinquished a stack of meat to Humbaba.

    Now, being a creative giant, Humbaba wanted a bit more of a cultured meal then a hunk of raw meat. So, he turned to his new chicken and tenderly squeezed him, till the chicken reluctantly released a bit of grain. Humbaba ground this up and combined it with some water, and baked it under the steaming sun. He then wrapped the meat in the resulting bun and gobbled it up.

    After this delicious meal, Humbaba found his throat was parched. So he jumped and hit enter, and grabbed a butterfly. Upon attempting to milk this butterfly, he discovered it was a bit more picky then he thought - scornfully, the butterfly looked down and scoffed at him, in Lolspeak. Humbaba searched in his pocket and found a tube of butterfly lotion...he tried to remember where it had come from, because it rang a bell of a million years ago, but it escaped him every time. He rubbed the lotion on his hands, and carefully massaged the butterfly. The butterfly, now appeased, consented to toss some butterfly milk Humbaba's way.

    Humbaba, now confident he had learned all of the animal's secrets, prepared to return to Alph's house to share his learnings. But every time he attempted to grab hold of the piggy, it escaped him. So he mixed together the piggy's favorite treats and called it bait. Soon enough he had the piggy in tow, but the butterfly and chicken bewildered him. Being the god he was, he used his super-powerful-giant voice he reserved for special occasions only to coax down the butterfly and lure the chicken in. To this day, Humbaba remains the only being who has the capabilities to sweet-talk a butterfly or chicken...which is why he is the God of Animals.

  • Humbaba is a girl.

    Also, pigs aren't "set up" to like cherries. They like produce, and like it so much that they will plop out produce seeds so that you might grow more produce for them to eat.
