@cattailnu Ha, I always dismissed tales of the bishop-fish as goofy legends. That was, until my nets pulled one up from the sea. Shocked, I released it back into the water; it bowed to me and made the Sign of the Cross before it leapt overboard. When I came ashore, no one would believe me, even my priest. As I sat in Mass the next day, I wondered, if God made us in his image, what did that strange creature imply?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bishop-fish

@cattailnu Know that you are seen. Even if you aren't heard because of the language you choose to use, you are seen. I see you. It may seem absurd coming from me, I know how I look to you; be assured though, I understand more than you think I do. Not as much as I'd like to understand, but enough to know how to see you, and the others. Our ways aren't so different. I am careful how I speak and calculated in what I choose to say. I want to be heard. I want to be granted an audience. Do you?

@cattailnu The tapping was a surprise, an unexpected disturbance to a tranquil dayI ignored itThe tapping came again, insistent, patient, making clear it wasn't going awayI sighed & opened the doorIt was a monk, in full ceremonial garb, including the fish head mask they woreJust what I needed, these guys never gave up, my day lay in tattersI tried humour "I thought you guys normally went around in shoals"It didn't stop them"Have you ever let Cod into your life ?"

@cattailnu «Look me in the eyes. You're under my spell.You will worship me and all will be ours.I will give you authority over all these beings and all their belongings, in my name.And all of you shall fall down before me, all of you shall serve me.Our glory is my glory, your power is my power.And all this because I’m your master and all of you are mine to give, move, kill, or glorify as I please.»Is that ok, or should we do it again?Right, perfect.Let’s see if it works.

@cattailnu There I was, minding my own business, when a strange guy approached me. At first I thought he was strange. Who would be disguised like that in the only oasis of this desert. He was a fish, standing above the water. Was I hallucinating? Was I dreaming? I pinched my arm and no, I was awake. What the hell was happening? Who was he?—Hello, my friend. You're clearly not the one I was expecting, but you will be good enough. Please be calm. Everything will be alright…#WritingPrompt

@cattailnu Even after millions of years of evolution, humans still faced the occasional bout of surprise diarrhea. Unfortunately for Sgenhy, the High Council wouldn’t tolerate tardiness. He would have to hope and pray there weren’t too many colonial compliance reports today.“Ah, Sgenhy,” the Comperitor hums as he enters the chamber. “We are so glad you’re here. We just received the backlog of reports from Diun.”

@cattailnu Hatmehyt, Mistress of the Fishes, sat within her sunken temple in the Nile Delta. She was the oldest of the gods, leading the first life from the primordial waters onto Egypt's shores. The tides rose and fell at her command. If her followers did not bring her offering of worms soon, she would flood the entirely of land and remind them of her power.#micofiction #prompt #flashfiction #shortfiction #sff #fantasy #indiewriter #sffwriter #writingcommunity #writersofmastodon

@cattailnu The guards prodded me with takspears, forcing me to my knees. I tried to stand, but one of them hooked a spiked finger around my throat."Kneel for judgement, blasphemer."The magistrate stared at me from her podium, unblinking. Her robes steamed in the dry air, protecting all but her face, which was marked with the gold scrollwork tattoos of her rank. Her fangs glistened with poison as she spoke."Prisoner! You are charged with sabotaging the Queen's spawn! What say you in defense?"

I went looking for them because of what I was told. I sought for them because of the promises that the old stories held. I travelled far over the seas, searching, and shouting my requests into the depths of the oceans.Mermaids. They told me they were beautiful brides...

@cattailnu Just look at him. Is that the face of a liar or something like that? Trust him. He knows what he's talking about =)

@cattailnu He has come so far, upstream hundreds of kilometers, through muddy streams and rushing rapids. His cloak and satchel trailing him, he leapt up small falls. Finally in a cool pond deep in the woods, they reached a spawning pair bathed in otherworldly light. He and the others emptied their satchels — gold, pearls, coral, colored sand.When the eggs hatched, his kind would finally have their own savior. Hundreds of them.

@cattailnu or, offering a smorgasbord of philosophy. Why not let the marketplace of ideas decide?People today don’t realize how many ‘prophets’ were contemporaries of Jesus, or how close Mithras came to becoming the dominant faith. My favorite story in this vein is In the House of Sorrows by Poul Anderson.http://www.uchronia.net/label/andeinhous.html

@cattailnu The Eminence, last dowager of the empire, highest of the believers, gazed upon the accuser. "There's been a tragic mistake" said the intruder, Frivnolx. "Yes," said the Eminence, "and you have made it. These waters are sacred to my kind. I'm sure you knew this, and yet you defiled us." Looking deep into her eyes, Frivnolx pressed, "There is a greater danger to us all and we need...""We are aware" interrupted the Eminence, "and have a solution, that we cannot reveal to your kind."

@Mike_Morpheus Choosing the right prophet to follow has been a discussion everyone gets to participate in at one point or another. I haven't read that, although the name is familiar.
