Geekisode 5

In the beginning, there was nothing.

Well, not exactly nothing, not nothing at all. It was just mostly nothing. A few people, a box and nothing else but white. It looked like nothing, nothing much anyway.

So, in the beginning, there wasn’t much of anything.

Then, there was a thought. It wasn’t much of a thought but, under the circumstances, it was the best thought available. “All this white is a bit on the annoying side,” the thought went, “shouldn’t there be something?” The land agreed with the thought. It filled in something from the brain that generated the thought, writing the something that he knew, something familiar. Slowly the nothing, the blinding white, faded, replaced by Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA.

The city formed. The box was now on a street corner. The people were on the street near it. The city existed but was inhabited by just a few. For the moment.
