On the Seventh Day We Rested

On the first day, we scanned and cataloged all of our epic and lyrical poetry, fiction and non-fiction, for those who might follow.

On the second day, we summarized and cataloged all of our scientific knowledge for those who might follow.

On the third day, we recorded and cataloged all of our music, songs, and hymns for those who might follow.

On the fourth day, we notated all of our dance for those who might follow.

On the fifth day, we transcribed all of our comedy for those who might follow.

On the sixth day, we erased the scrolls of our entire history so that no one who followed would ever suspect that we did this to ourselves.

On the seventh day, knowing that it was as if Melpomene had never existed, we rested.
