CEO & Modern Day Profits

[Grendel Khan]

CEO stepped from his chariot, delivered to the entrance of his ascension. The
bells chimed as His herald invoked BOARD ROOM - the limo whisked, the
doors shushed.
“greetings”
“greetings”
“greetings” fell in cadence to His stride. Echoes as He entered the
Sanctum. Twelve sets of eyes did rise to acknowledge His coming. Twelve backs
did straighten as he strode to His Throne. He gazed upon His profits and was
pleased. He gazed upon His Kingdom and it was good.

He arose hands outstretched and proclaimed -

YATTA YATTA

Twelve mouths as one repeated the Decree -

“yatta, yatta”

And it was good.

CEO stepped from his chariot, delivered to the entrance of his ascension. The
bells chimed as His herald invoked BOARD ROOM - the limo whisked, the
doors shushed.
“greetings”
“greetings”
“greetings” fell in cadence to His stride. Echoes as He entered the
Sanctum. Twelve sets of eyes did rise to acknowledge His coming. Twelve backs
did straighten as he strode to His Throne. He gazed upon His profits and was
pleased. He gazed upon His Kingdom and it was good.

He arose hands outstretched and proclaimed -

YATTA YATTA

“yatta, yatta” returned in praise

“yatta, matta” - the twelfth

Again His Voice the Decree -

YATTA YATTA

“yatta, yatta” resounded from twelve lips, and it was good.

CEO stepped from his chariot, delivered to the entrance of his ascension. The
bells chimed as His herald invoked BOARD ROOM - the limo whisked, the
doors shushed.
“greetings”
“greetings”
“greetings” fell in cadence to His stride. Echoes as He entered the
Sanctum. Twelve sets of eyes did rise to acknowledge His coming. Twelve backs
did straighten as he strode to His Throne. He gazed upon His profits and one
wore a frown. He gazed upon His Kingdom and found comfort.

He arose hands outstretched and proclaimed -

YATTA YATTA

“yatta, matta” repeated thrice.

“Matta, matta” the voice of dissension drowning out the sea of “yatta,
yatta” spoken by the other eight.

A new Decree CEO begot -

BADDA BING

“badda bing” reformed the chaos to the Word.

And it was good.

CEO strutted from His car at the door of His Elevator. The ding announced His
assistant pushing the top floor button - the limo pulled away as the doors
clanked shut.
“profits?”
“profits?”
“profits?” hounded His steps into the board room. Murmurs ceased as He
took His chair. Profits showed displeasure, wearing unrepentant frowns.


CEO stood, leaning His palms upon the table.

BADDA BING as His Hands slapped the wood.

“badda bing” returned from a lone voice struggling amongst the
messages;

“yatta, yatta”, “yatta, matta”, “badda, matta”, swirled with fingers and
heated tongues.

CEO turned his face from the clamor, and shook his head.

CEO nearly stumbled leaving his limo without his assistant’s aid. He listened to
the elevator buzz and hum as he jammed his finger on floor 8. The car sputtered
and coughed away as the doors jerked and scretched shut.
click clack
click clack
click clack followed his footsteps and filled the empty hall. Competing
words spilled out as CEO kicked open the board room doors.

BADDA BOOM

And cleansing fire spit from His Smith & Wessons.

A small Short Story from my Social Commentary Anthology I am working on.

[northbabylon]

it could be just me. But i don't really understand it at all...but, good use of words and vocab?

[Grendel Khan]

I'll wait and see if there are other comments, before I do any explaining.

I'm curious as to what is picked up and what isn't.

- I'm using this story as the "cipher" in the anthology that gives some underlying ideas and themes. So in that respect I'm wanting to make sure that they are able to be deduced, but not thrown in anyone's face. Part of the anthology, is the attempt at making the reader come to their own conclusions.

[KLL]

Sounds like an unhappy CEo, a buch of yes saysers and an amok run

[Crimson Shadow]

It is a Christianity anthology.

The CEO is God and the 12 people are His disciples. Also the cleansing fire "badda boom" is describing the end times. Profits are the amount of believers. In the beginning He was happy because most people were believers. Today He is unhappy with the society who is becoming more and more non-believing

[Grendel Khan]

Do you think the juxtaposition works in the opposite direction as well?

God as CEO, disciples as "yes" men, Religion as profit?

It's meant as a two way street. Religion and it's trappings as business, and Business as belief. Applied economics are a belief system. Watch any economy over a long course of time and you'll see examples. Ask the American population about "spend".

I was accused of it being sacrilegious because I had made religion mundane, so I am pleased to see the flip-side perceived by you.


Underlying thought - an all powerful individual driven mad by the imperfect reflections of their ideas by lessor individuals, and the corrective desire.

[Grendel Khan]

Finished typing up "At the end of the day", which will probably be the second story in my Anthology, due to it's brutal nature, and my desire to catch people very unawares after the easy reading and light nature of what will probably be the first story in the Anthology - "CEO & Modern Day Profits".

Content is way too "strong" and BRUTAL for posting here, but I will send anyone a copy of the rough draft if they would like to check it out. Just PM me your E-mail addy and I'll send you an RTF file fo it. (Sorry I have a crappy word processor, and it makes WPS files, so RTF is about the best I can do for you guys easily)

One last warning. It is disturbing.
