Chapter 8

Phil Clyde sneaks up on his wife, Alice Malokey who is standing on the balcony of her Penthouse on Tybee Island out from Savannah, Georgia. It is where she goes when she wants to get away from Atlanta and Hotville.

Phil grabs her from behind and hugs her close. He places his head on her shoulder and snuggles his head next to her head. He whispers, “You knew I was sneaking up on you?”

Alice rubs the side of her face against the face of her husband. “Of course. And I smell the outlands on you so I know where you have been. Do not lie to me.”

“I went after the Legman.”

“By the order of someone or on your own?”

“Sabian Blackrock and Madison Grant didn’t exactly give me the order to break the law and go into the outlands. It was kind of a dare.”

“You are an idiot.”

“I know but I am glad I went. It was scary. The Legman caught me. He put me in a cage which is what I was trying to do to him. I was trying to cage him.”

Alice starts laughing. She breaks from her husband’s hold and turns around to look into his face. “You seriously thought you could put the Legman into a cage. I may put Sabian and Madison in a cage.” Alice kisses her husband. “Did you manage to escape or was there a deal?”

“Do you believe we are on Lucifer’s Earth right now?”

“We are on Lucifer’ Earth right now, but do not go around telling people that. They will not believe it and they will not like it. Not even the witches.”

“So what the Legman revealed to me is true?”

“I do not know what he revealed to you but that is true.”

“What people think is a conquered heaven on Pluto Viso is not really heaven?”

“Wow, he wants you to totally understand. I wonder why that is.”

“He said he doesn’t want you married to a stupid person.”

“Interesting. Did he try to pit you against me?”

“No. He wants you on his side.”

“That is interesting and scary. I don’t want the Witches Council turned against me.”

“I know. He wants me to help protect Billy Bingo.”

“I think Billy Bingo should be protected but again, that is dangerous for both of us.”

“I like the Legman but he is dangerous to us.”

“He is important to the humans and to the Earth Witches. He may be their only hope, except of course if they get help from God himself.”

“But God wants them to be stronger. He wants us to be stronger.”

“Yes, up to a point. But God also likes a balance of power. He always interjects when he thinks it is necessary, even on Lucifer’s Earth.”

“So what are we going to do?”

“My dear love, we have to walk the walk along that chalk line very carefully. I am glad you met the Legman and had a dialog with him but still this is a dangerous turn for us; especially if you start protecting Billy Bingo. How is it that you are to protect him?”

“I was in robot dog cage. I was to become Billy Bingo’s dog. The way it is now though, the AI has control of the dog cage and will contact me when it needs my help to protect Billy. I can of course enter the dog cage any time I want.”

“That is good. We probably can protect Billy without being caught. But if we are caught, the Witches Council will have a fit.”

“But you are agreed?”

“I am agreed. And I am very glad that you are not a stupid person.”

“To be honest, I wasn’t sure you would be on board with protecting Billy. I understand that Sam wants Billy dead and the Legman caged and maybe Billy also caged.”

“So going after the Legman, on some level, was to please Sam Bigalo.”

“Maybe on some level though I wasn’t exactly thinking that way. He wants General Gorgan caged and from his thinking I thought he was right. He grieves for his sleeping, former wife, Amelia. I know how much it would grieve me if that should happen to you.”

“Understand that Sam does not currently understand the true nature of this world. General Gorgan probably does. Still, he wants the keys to open and restore the God Complex of Pluto Viso.”

“But it is not the true heaven. It was always a fabrication of Belial. Right?”

“Right. But it is complicated. It is a way to gather the souls who want to go to the true heaven and may even be deserving of the true heaven. Without Belial’s fake heaven there is no gathering place on Pluto Viso. There is a duality in Belial just as there is a duality in Lucifer. There is a part of him that took great pleasure in the destroying of the fake heaven but there is another part of him that wants to be like God and to be like God he needs the fake heaven. Neither Lucifer nor Belial are Satan. Satan has no duality. He is just fucking evil and takes pleasure in evil. He is the force that most wanted the fake heaven on Pluto Viso destroyed.”

“So you are saying that even in General Gorgan wants the God Complex on Pluto Viso restored, he may still be taking orders from Belial. And the Legman knows this.”

“Sure. But the Legman may also want the God Complex restored as a place for the souls who are not yet ready to go to the true heaven. Even the fake heavens are an important gathering place to move souls toward the goodness that is inherent in the true God.”

“The Legman’s Iapetus Jr. in the Outlands is being used to help souls. I didn’t expect that.”

“But you always have to remember we are on Lucifer’s Earth and the fake heaven is Lucifer’s heaven. It is a path to God’s Earth and the true heaven but it is not the true heaven. Here on Lucifer’s earth we all tend to have a duality where we are all capable of both good and evil. We choose our own path but the temptations are always here. The Legman is more consistently on the side of God but…”

“He told me that he is conflicted.”

“His honesty with you puzzles me.”

“Me as well. On God’s Earth is good and evil and people as complicated as they are here. Are there fewer gray areas on God’s Earth?”

Alice laughs. “God’s Earth is less complicated but not as much as you might think. People are more content and less driven. Those of us who are more easily tempted to hurt people based on our emotional needs or just uncaring ways are no longer there. There are a lot fewer people capable of badness there and in need of a spanking there. The people are better there and that in itself makes it a better world. Lucifer and Belial both love to moan as they look at what their worlds are populated with and remind those who might listen, ‘Look at what we have got to work with.’”

“I wonder what it was like when we fell. What were our greater sins, our most evil deeds, that caused us to fall here into Lucifer’s Earth. Were we judged by the true God and cast here, one by one?”

“It is not that simple.”

“I understand the world is computer like. I read that God can present himself as one person or a million people. Some might be true spawns or others more like a hologram of the computer system.”

“So yes, we are judged by the system. All our deeds are there recorded in the system. There are no secrets from the system. But we are given choices by the system. We can’t relive the same life in God’s system and can not change time in God’s system, but here time can be changed. We can live the same life more than once. So there is a reason that some of us chose to come here even though this puts us much closer to the true hell, Satan’s hell.”

“So I chose to be here.”

Alice Malokey answers her husband, “We all chose to be here. It is choice among other choices.”

“Such as. What might be an alternative choice?”

“In one decision the God Complex offered me the choice to be born as a chambermaid on earth after having been Alice Malokey. Lucifer offered me a chance to continue being Alice Malokey which would have been impossible in God’s Universe since Malokey had been destroyed by the Martians.”

“So in the real world Malokey no longer exists?”

“You must not look at this world as unreal and God’s world as real. All worlds are real and in part Lucifer’s World is in fact connected to God’s world and God does have power here.”

“But Malokey can’t be restored in God’s world. It only exists in this prison, this Hades.”

“I don’t think of this as a prison.”

“So you came here by choice because you didn’t want to stop being Alice Malokey. You didn’t want to be a chambermaid. But can you leave? Isn’t this basically the Eagle’s Song, ‘Hotel California?’ Isn’t this basically the INXS song, ‘The Devil Inside?’ God’s world is the real world. It is the living world. This is the world of the dead. We have all chosen to delude ourselves into thinking we are incarnating into a living world but no, whether you want to call this world purgatory or Hades, this is the biblical world of the dead. We are dead.”

“No. By what you are trying to suggest, only the Garden of Eden was the real world and when God kicked us out of that world, we all became the living dead, and maybe we did. But I choose…”

“Our memories are so fucked with, we are so tripping on some kind of light fantastic, how do you know that you chose. How do you know that the idea of choice isn’t just to make we prisoners blame ourselves?”

“I don’t know. I just know I don’t want to fall into that sleep. I don’t want to give up on trying to make sense of it all. I don’t want to give up on being allowed into heaven; the true heaven. But I do know that hell is closer to my reach than heaven. I know that.”

Phil sees that his wife is about to cry. He grabs her and holds her tight. “It is going to be okay. I may not know who I am or from whom I was spawned; my higher self, but I know that I love you. I may not know for sure where I am or how I got here, but my love for you and our love for God will always be our compass. We will find our way out of Hades; out of purgatory.”

“The Legman might be the way or even he might be a lie.”

“I’ve considered that but I think he is real.”

Alice says, “We must protect Billy Bingo for the Legman. The Legman must not become our enemy. Except for God the Legman may be our only way out of this place, whatever this place is.”

“I agree.”

Chapters

Reminder: In this, a dog cage is a cage, a robot, that looks like a dog that holds Phil prisoner.  The reference is not to a dog in a cage but a cage that looks like a dog; and that can hold a soul prisoner.  This Chapter takes place in a realm that the Legman has created in the Outlands that is similar to his original Iapetus but it is not the primary Iapetus.  The Legman sometimes calls this lesser realm Iapetus Jr..

Chapter 7

Phil Clyde sits at the computer inside his robot dog cage while the robot dog chases his tail in a game of round and round. “If this is true, why on earth would the Legman reveal this to me.”

The Legman appears in the cage. He sits down next to Phil at the computer. The Legman asks, “Do you understand it?”

“We are all fucking prisoners. If we escape from one prison we are just in another prison because they do not want us building new systems.”

“It is a little more complicated than that but basically, yeah. Of course think about it. How many people have you met that you would want building systems and playing God?”

“True. I guess. But the earth I came from is Lucifer’s earth and not God’s earth? Really?”

“On God’s earth you can’t live the same life more than once. On Lucifer’s Earth you can live the same life over and over again if you ever lived it once on God’s earth. You can change time in this world. You can’t change time in God’s world.”

“Can we ever return to God’s world?”

“Sure. Purgatory or Hades is not hell. Lucifer is not Satan. Lucifer is still at times invited to dine in Heaven at the table of God and the lesser gods and the angels. Satan of course, is not. Lucifer wants to measure up and be compared to God. Lucifer might be jealous of God but he does not hate him. Satan hates God and isn’t too crazy about Lucifer. Lucifer and Satan don’t exactly get along, but on some level Lucifer and Satan do have an understanding.”

“What about you? Where do you fit in with God and Lucifer and Satan?”

“Iapetus is my realm. I will restore it on my own. I will not ask God for help. I will certainly not ask Lucifer or Satan for help. To where I fit in with them, I am not sure that I do.”

“So Lucifer is not the only one separated from God because of pride.”

“God is a goodly entity. Know that. And he will help people. Know that. But he does not like weakness. He is forgiving of weakness but he does not like it. And I do have weaknesses. There is a reason I was embarrassed and made ruin when I was born as … well, never mind.”

“Is it just because I am the husband of Alice Malokey that you have taken an interest in me? Or is there some other reason?”

“If you are asking if I have known you in the past, the answer is that I have.”

“Were we friends or enemies? Who was I?”

The Legman laughs. “You have a higher self. You are a spawn.”

“Am I your spawn?”

“No.”

“Who?”

“I am not going to answer that.”

“So. What now?”

“It is time I send you back to become the dog of Billy Bingo and for you to work to protect him. Now, the dog cage can morph to appear as any dog that you would like. But to become Billy Bingo’s dog it is necessary that the cage become a type of dog that Billy would like.”

“And what kind of dog is that?”

“A French Poodle.”

“Are you fucking kidding me. I am going to be a prissy froufrou dog?”

“The poodle is a good breed of dog.”

“If you say so. It is not like I have a choice.”

“But now when you aren’t with Billy and you need to morph the dog cage, you can do so.”

“So when I need to become a Pit Bull, I can.”

“Exactly.”

Suddenly, there are sirens. There is a loud buzzing sound. A whistle also. And then the sound of explosions. The smell of smoke stinks as the smoke rises into the air as a fog. The quick rattle and bang, bang, bang of machine guns sound as if from the haunting of a war.

Phil asks, “What is happening?”

The Legman answers, “The Soul Suckers are striking these outer areas of my realm once again. They feed off the fear of the poor, confused souls that come to me for help. And they try to cage as many as they can. They are a vile group in alliance with Satan.”

The Legman causes a sword to appear out of no where. He hands the sword to Phil. “They can enter and leave cages. This cage is not a barrier to them. But the sword will cut and bleed energy from them. They will always attempt to escape the loss of energy.” The Legman vanishes.

Phil moans. “Fuck. Why in the hell did I follow after the Legman?”

Phil looks through the eyes of the dog cage. He pushes the button to become one with the cage. He sees a woman partially hidden in the bushes. Two Soul Suckers are beating the bushes and approaching the woman. They see her. They know she sees them as they taste and suck up her fear. Then one of them causes a cage to appear. It is a cage built for torture and to torment and to create as much fear as possible.

The dog Phil jumps toward the woman and licks her face. He bites into her skirt and he pulls her. He hopes his screams will not turn into barks because he wants to communicate with her. He screams. “Run. Run. Do not let them put you in the torture cage. It will be hell.”

The woman runs. One of the Soul Suckers starts to chase after her but the dog Phil pushes him back. He growls and bites at the Soul Sucker. Suddenly the Soul Sucker is inside of the dog cage with Phil. Phil has to pull away from controlling the dog. He is no longer one with the dog. He must face the Soul Sucker inside of the cage. He grabs the sword that the Legman has given him. He swings at the Soul Sucker but he misses. The Soul Sucker grabs Phil by the neck. He licks Phil in the face as Phil had done with the woman to break her from the trance of fear. The Soul Sucker is disappointed that he does not taste fear for Phil is not afraid.

Phil punches the Soul Sucker in the face and then positions the sword to stab the Soul Sucker in the gut. He strikes the sword hard into the stomach of the Soul Sucker. Energy bleeds from the Soul Sucker and the Soul Sucker quickly exits the cage. The other Soul Sucker that had not entered the cage has the dog cage in his hands. He is banging the cage against a tree.

Phil again becomes one with the dog. He bites at the Soul Sucker who notices that his friend is bleeding energy. The healthy Soul Sucker is about to enter the cage when the Legman appears and cuts the Soul Sucker’s head off. The Soul Sucker grabs up his own head and darts for the spaceship that they had arrived in. The other Soul Sucker follows after him, racing for the spaceship.

The Legman watches as twelve of the Soul Sucker Space Ships take off. The attack is over. No souls have been lost from the Legman’s realm.

The Legman enters the dog cage. “You did good. We saw you rescue the woman. A soul quickly got to her and took her to a safe place.”

“Good.”

“I am going to change my plans a bit. You keep the dog cage and it is up to you to whether you want to use the cage to protect Billy Bingo or not. But you are free from it. You can leave and enter it as you want.”

“You know, I am a hunter. I can’t turn down assignments. And if I vanish too often from my wife where she has no idea where I am, that will not be good. You need someone else to protect Billy because I have a conflict.”

“I want you on my side. I want you to understand what I am doing here. I want you to help Alice Malokey, your wife, to understand what I am doing here.”

“Your protecting General Gorgan is a problem. He is too allied with Belial on Pluto Viso.”

“He is not. He came here as a refugee.”

“We can’t trust that. Too many witches are terrified that Belial will do to earth what was done to Pluto Viso.”

“But it wasn’t. God’s Pluto Viso is still in place. The witches escaped a realm that was always Belials. They escaped Belial’s Hades to come to Lucifer’s Hades.”

“Alice and the others will never believe that. I am not sure I believe you.”

“Alice Malokey and her family knows the truth. They fully understand how the digital worlds are connected.”

“Well, if that is Lucifer’s Earth how can people go to the God Complex from there?”

“They can go to the God Complex from Lucifer’s Earth in the same way they can go to the God Complex from God’s Earth.”

“But I’ve been told that on Pluto Viso, God’s Complex has been devastated. Pluto Viso’s heaven is in a state of ruin.”

“No. There is only one true heaven, though there are fake heavens. There is only One God Complex in all the universes. But Lucifer and Belial both like to pretend that they have the power to conquer the true heaven itself. It can’t be done. But now there are reasons that Lucifer and Belial want those that are no longer on God’s Earth for various reasons to believe that even heaven itself can be lost to the forces of rebellion and counter rebellion. There is the real heaven and then there are the fake heavens.”

“So how do we know the real from fake even as our memories are fucked with and we can’t even remember our own origins. How can I even know that you are real or much more, what you are saying is real.”

“Just know that the loving God is real. Know that you can always trust in that. To know the difference between God and the fake ones, just know that God is always loving. God will not spew the preachings of hell, fire, and damnation. God does not condemn. He will protect and to protect, sometimes that does mean sending some souls away from other souls. It is not to condemn. It is to protect. And sometimes to protect means trying to help a soul to grow stronger through tough love. But God does not condemn. God loves. If you listen closely you will always know when the forces of God are about and when the forces of the fake are about.”

“Are you a force for God?”

“I am not perfect. There is weakness in me. There is sin in me. I am not always loving. I hold grudges. Do I try to be better than Belial and Lucifer? Yes. But sometimes I am no better than they are. That is my awful truth.”

“But you want to help the humans of earth?”

“And the witches of earth. I want to help. But I am not without confusion and from that confusion; weakness. I can’t find a way to even open my own realm, the true Iapetus, back to my control.”

“I can not swear alliance to you. I can only say that I see your side and trust your honesty.”

“That is enough for me to see your side and trust your honesty.”

“May I ask you about something?”

“Sure.”

“You say that God is not about hell, fire, and damnation but that is in the bible.”

“You speak of the bible in Lucifer’s Earth; not God’s Earth. God does not condemn. He separates for protection. Lucifer condemns. Lucifer promises hell, fire, and damnation to those who fall from Hades into Hell.”

“But if God doesn’t protect the people on Lucifer’s Earth, isn’t it the same as if he condemned us.”

“God wants to protect us but he also wants to make us stronger.”

“But if he would allow us to fall even into the bowels of hell, then that is God condemning us.”

“There is no soul who can’t lift themselves up even from the bowels of hell. When we are condemned it is our own actions that condemn us. It is our own thoughts. It is our own fears. God does not condemn us.”

“But nature destroys with storms and earthquakes and disease and such. We don’t bring that on ourselves.”

“Nature is about trying to maintain balance. Nature is about protecting earth from an imbalance. The flesh might be hurt but the soul is not hurt.”

Chapters

Chapter 6

The dog cage which holds Phil as a prisoner walks inside of a yellow dog house. The robot dog moves a ball around and then chews on a bone. It has been programmed to be a dog. Phil watches through the eyes of the dog cage and for a moment feels one with the dog. He feels as though he is the dog. Then the dog drops down and rolls on his back for a moment. Then he turns to his side and he closes his eyes.

Phil turns his eyes away from the closed eyes of the robot dog. Phil sees inside of the cage but his view is dim for inside the cage is dark. He isn’t even sure if he is in the cage alone. He is disturbed by the odd feeling that someone is in the cage with him and watching him. He wonders what kind of creature might see in the dark. For a second he thinks he might hear odd breaths sucking for air. He listens. But if he has heard something he can no longer hear the sounds. He hears silence; lonely silence.

Phil moves. He feels around with his hands for he can’t quite see in the dim light, the near darkness. Trying to walk he stumbles and his leg hits against something. He strains his eyes to try to see what he has bumped into but whatever it is, it is without much form to observe. He touches it with his hand and feels what feels like might be a handle.

The inside of the cage begins to light up. Phil sees that he has bumped into what appears to be a vacuum cleaner. Phil stares at it for a moment. Then Phil turns his eyes from the vacuum cleaner. He sees a large round bed where he might rest. He sees a large shower where he might enjoy the flow of water to clean and revitalize himself. There is a large kitchen with a stocked refrigerator where he might prepare food. The inside of the cage is the same as if he were still in the living world.

Phil strips naked and finds a cabinet with towels. He hangs a towel at the shower and turns the water on. He enjoys the flow of the water over his naked body. Phil whispers to himself, “I wish Alice were here.”

The Legman appears naked in the shower with Phil.

Phil asks, “What are you doing?”

“I thought we might have a bit of fun.”

“I don’t think so.” Phil turns the shower off. He takes the towel and dries off. “I am not going to suddenly become your friend. Much less your lover. Neither is going to happen.”

The Legman snaps his fingers so that both of them are clothed in tight blue jeans and ripped, white t-shirts. The Legman points to the corner of the cage. “There is a computer over there. It contains lessons to explain the nature of this world. It also contains a list of magic spells that I will allow you to use if you need magic to protect Billy.”

“Why do you want me to protect Billy? Surely you have witches at your command who can do a better job than me.”

“I can’t threaten to cage them for eternity if they fuck up. But now you. I can. I have.”

“You said you want me to attend a computer lab. Will I be allowed out of the cage to attend the lab?”

“I have assigned someone to come into the cage to help teach you while the dog is in the lab. Also, I have decided that inside the dog cage you may explore my realm. Even after you have been freed from the cage you may use the cage to return here when you want so long as you don’t try to hurt anyone here. Although my command center can take control of the dog at any time, unless they see a reason to do so, you may control the dog.”

Phil says, “Such a friendly gesture so that I might forget that I am your prisoner. Do you seriously think you can turn me. Do you think you can convince me to be on your side?”

“We are already on the same side. You just do not know it yet.”

Phil watches the Legman slowly vanish from the cage. It was a lingering exit as though the Legman were reluctant to depart from Phil. Perhaps there is something else that the Legman wants to tell Phil but he is not sure that Phil is ready to hear.

Phil first thinks he is tired. Wearing the clothes that the Legman has used magic to dress him in, he lays down in the big round bed. He bounces around in the fluffy covers in an attempt to get comfortable. He closes his eyes and thinks he will drift into a sleep. For a moment or two he lays completely still. Then he moans. He takes a deep breath. He moans again. Then he tosses and turns. “What if I should go to sleep in this cage and then have trouble waking? Or what if I am not in this cage alone and something attacks me.”

Phil gets out of bed and walks to the eyes of the dog. He sees that there is now a visible control panel there at the eyes. There is a button that reads mind control. He pushes the button and he feels one with the dog. He opens the eyes of the dog. He causes the dog to stand up. He then mentally breaks the connection and the artificial intelligence of the dog takes over. The dog begins to walk on its own without any input from Phil. Then the dog sits down. A monitor in the control panel lights up and Phil sees a dog face looking at him.

The dog’s AI talks to Phil through the monitor. “Hello Phil. I am the dog cage which holds you prisoner. I hope that we shall be friends.”

“That is not likely.”

“It is totally likely. I am a likeable dog. We are companions. We are not enemies.”

“Then set me free.”

“You are funny. So have you ever met the Billy Bingo boy that we will be protecting.”

“No.”

“Neither have I but there have been data files input into my system regarding Billy Bingo and I have viewed them. You should view them as well.”

“Not now.”

“From looking at the information I think I will like being Billy Bingo’s dog. I think you will like having Billy as a master as well.”

“No one is going to be my master.”

“Sure. I also enjoy being hit on the nose with a newspaper. But rebellion will only get you so far in this world.”

Phil again presses the mind control button to again feel one with the dog. The dog vanishes from the monitor as Phil’s eyes fixes to look through the eyes of the dog. Phil asks, “When I am in control, are you still around?”

“Of course I am still around but I will not interfere with your control unless you violate a directive.”

“So I guess that means that I can’t get back to my spaceship.”

“In time. For now though, do you want to explore this realm.”

“I feel like I want to sleep but then I can’t.”

“Then we will sleep.”

Suddenly Phil is in bed. A replica of the dog cage is now in the cage itself with Phil. The replica cuddles with Phil in the bed and then walks down to sleep at Phil’s feet. “Goodnight Phil. I am glad when we are one and I am glad when we are separate but together.”

The dog cage itself has gone back into sleep mode inside of the yellow doghouse. Eight hours later a rooster crows and an alarm clock buzzes. Phil wakes to the feel of the dog replica licking his face.

Phil says, “I am not going to get attached to you. You are not real.”

The dog replica vanishes as the dog cage opens its eyes. The cage opens its eyes and then stands up. The dog walks outside of the doghouse. It walks over to a tree and hikes its legs. “God, my bladder was full.”

While the robot dog cage is moving around, Phil strips naked and showers. Phil expects the Legman to appear in the shower with him but the Legman doesn’t appear. Phil can’t decide whether showering alone is pleasant or just lonely. He gets dressed and goes to the front of the dog cage. Phil presses the mind control button so that he feels as though he is one with the dog. As the dog he jumps and dances around. He darts after a squirrel. “Okay, AI stop that. I don’t want to chase a squirrel.”

AI says, “Yes you do. That was you. That wasn’t me.”

“Why would I have an impulse to chase a squirrel?”

“Because at the moment you are a dog.”

“Whatever. Weird.”

The squirrel wiggles its tail. “Can’t catch me. Can’t catch me.”

“You son of a bitch. The hell I can’t.”

Phil as the dog chases the squirrel up a tree. Phil jumps around the tree. He barks at the squirrel. “Oh crap. Why am I doing this?”

A soul walks up to Phil the dog. The soul looks battered and beaten. He pets Phil and Phil enjoys being rubbed. He rolls over on his back for a tummy rub. The soul kneels down and rubs his stomach. The soul speaks. “I guess if the space alien witches discover what I know then I will be put in a cage. But please don’t put me in a cage. I will not tell the Legman. I will not tell him.”

Phil tries to speak to the soul but his words just become barks. The soul stands up. “I must leave this place. There are spies everywhere. Even dressed as dogs. Spies everywhere.”

The soul begins to walk. Phil the dog follows. The soul speaks. “Go away. Dog. Go away. Leave me alone.”

The soul comes to an entryway to a cave. There is water running over the mouth of the cave and flowing into a stream that flows back into the cave. The soul walks through the water pouring over him and then walks into the stream. Phil the dog follows.

The soul looks at Phil the dog. “Are you in my mind or am I in your mind or do either of us have a mind? I’ve been around too long. I should fall into a sleep. Maybe I should sleep and never wake.”

That talk scares Phil. The idea of falling into such a sleep is like the idea of death. It isn’t death but it is similar. And Phil knows that caged souls are prone to falling into that sleep. Phil wonders if the soul is trying to suggest him into such a sleep. Phil the dog jumps out of the stream and onto the rocky bank within the cave. He looks at the soul still in the stream. The soul laughs and a long ladder appears out of no where. The soul begins to climb the ladder toward a hole in the ceiling of the cave. Phil the dog jumps from the bank and onto the rungs of the ladder. Phil the dog begins to climb the ladder.

The Legman appears and pulls Phil the dog from the ladder. The Legman says, “It is not good to follow Beastial. He once was a mighty space alien witch but now he sleeps.”

Phil says, “He is there. He is not sleeping.”

The Legman explains, “He is dreaming. He is sleep walking in a separate astral body from the one that is caged. He is afraid that his fellow space alien witches will put him into a cage because dreaming he does not realize that he is already in their cage. He is in their cage but the cage does not capture an astral body created when sleep walking. Of course the moment he were to wake, that dream astral body will vanish and he will find himself back in the cage.”

“He knows something that he is afraid to tell you.”

“He knows where a sacred well is and it would help me if I should know but he will not tell me. He is under a curse where if he were to try to tell me then the pain would be too great. It is interesting that you would tell me that he knows something.”

Phil says, “I don’t know why I told you. Maybe you have me under a curse where I will tell you things.”

The Legman says, “No. The only spells you are under are cage connected.”

Phil says, “Curse or no curse, I am scared of this cage. I am scared of falling into a sleep where I will not wake. I am afraid of becoming like Beastial.”

The Legman says, “We must take care that does not happen.”

Beastial looks down from the ladder at the Legman holding the dog. He feels pain. “Oh fuck. Fuck. Please stop the pain.”

The Legman says, “Stop trying to tell me where the sacred well is. There is no point in trying.”

Beastial says, “I want to tell you.”

The Legman says, “I know that you do. And know that I want to rescue you from the cage. I just don’t know how.”

“The pain is gone.” Beastial vanishes.

The Legman says, “If only I could rescue him.”

Phil says, “I am sorry. He does seem to be a kind soul.”

“Indeed. Kind. But he could fight.”

Phil the dog licks the Legman in the face. The Legman laughs.

Phil screams, “What the hell is happening to me. Why would I feel affection for a soul who has put me into a cage.”

Chapters

The Legman lands his spaceship in a green meadow that is part of the open area of his realm where anyone may visit. He emerges from his spaceship. He looks around. He whistles and a dog comes out of his spaceship. It is not a real dog. It is the robot cage which holds Phil Clyde prisoner. From inside the cage, Phil looks about. He looks up at the Legman.

A man walks up to the Legman. The Legman is not familiar with the man. The man says, “Sir, are you really God?”

“No. I am a lesser god but not the God. I am not the big G.”

The man says, “So this is not an entryway to heaven. I want to go to heaven.”

“You are in the Outlands. This area is my realm that I call Iapetus Jr..”

“I don’t understand. I feel so confused. I died and some weird creatures started chasing me. I ran and I flew and I don’t know what happened but I ended up here.”

The Legman says, “You are going to be okay.” The Legman snaps his fingers. A woman dressed as a nurse appears at his side. “This man needs help. Take him to the medical center and run some test on him. See how bad his mind has been screwed up by the forces.”

The nurse asks, “Do you think the space alien witches did something to him or that it was something else?”

The Legman says, “I don’t know. See if you get a trace on his most recent life and some of his past lives.”

“Okay.” The nurse and the man vanish.

Phil speaks through the robot dog. “What are you going to do to me?”

“You will be set free. In time.”

A figure that looks to be an angel appears next to the Legman. “The spy mechanism that you rooted inside of Sam Bigalo has revealed that Alice Malokey has no idea who Amelia’s spawn is. It has also revealed that Sam is inclined to want to kill Billy Bingo. Alice Malokey may actually be a potential friend but she is walking a dangerous line.”

The Legman turns to Phil. “I am going to send you back in this dog cage and with some of your powers working. Your job is going to be to protect Billy Bingo. If you don’t keep Billy safe then you may never leave this cage.”

“Alice will miss me.”

“I am going to pretend to be you. It is going to be so much fun.”

“You son of a bitch. By the time I am through with you…”

The Legman says, “What? You are in a cage and you are going to threaten to put me in a cage. That would not be very smart. Walk with me. Walk with me like a dog who loves his master and who will be obedient to his master.”

“Like with the way this cage is programmed, I have a choice?”

The Legman begins to walk and Phil follows in his robotic dog cage. The Legman waves his arms and a portal opens. They walk through the portal and they see souls weeping. They hear sounds; talking. “Why am I here? What is this place? Why can’t I find my loved ones?”  They see some of the souls playing out scenes from dreams and the souls are laughing. They see some of the souls playing out scenes from dreams and the souls are screaming in terror.

Phil asks, “Why are you showing me this? I don’t even know if this is real or if this is just some kind of game.”

The Legman says, “To these souls this is real. I have a virtual army of volunteers who come in here to try to help these souls. The volunteers try to create case files so we can figure out how to help each and every one of these souls to leave this plane so that they might enter the proper part of my realm. In some cases we try to unmark them so they might be accepted by the God Complex. If they can be sent to the God Complex, of course we don’t want to mark them even more.”

Phil asks, “And how many of them do you send to the Luciferian Complex?”

The Legman says, “There are some who can’t be saved or when things are explained to them they are accepting of the Luciferian Complex. Of course you might ask yourself if we just came from God’s earth or if we just came from Lucifer’s earth also known as purgatory or Hades.”

Phil says, “Are you suggesting that this is part of the Luciferian Complex?”

“I am suggesting that we are in the Outlands that is part of no complex. But I am questioning which earth do you think we just came from: God’s Earth or Lucifer’s Earth?”

“That is a stupid question. There is only one Earth and that is God’s Earth.”

“So you don’t believe in Purgatory or Hades?”

“I believe that the one earth has been invaded by Space Alien Witches and is under threat from Belial on the planet Pluto Viso.”

“So you think God would have allowed his earth to have been invaded and to be under threat from such a dark creature as Belial. You have been to the future?”

“Yes.”

“Do you think God would have allowed Obama to have been elected President of his most beloved Country? Or Donald Trump?”

“There is free will. God promised free will. And with freedom, things happen that aren’t God’s choice but the people’s choice.”

“But look at the people. Look at these souls.”

“I don’t understand.”

“When we ancient ones came out of the chaos we were intellectual energy. We were digital and the worlds we created were digital. There has never been a clay based world. The Big Bang Theory is a big lie. The idea that any world is a simulation is a lie. There is no simulation. The worlds are what they have always been: a type of sophisticated computer and sub-computers and a network. The worlds have always been digital.”

“I don’t believe you. The clay based world is real.”

“Then what is this.”

“It is part of the metaphysical worlds where souls can journey after death or where people like me can journey to in their spaceships.”

The Legman called to a soul who was trying to help another soul escape her nightmare. “Sir Roger, come here a moment.”

The soul came to the Legman. Sir Roger says, “I am much honored that you should know my name and call to me.”

The Legman laughs. “Tell me Sir Roger, what have your last lives been like.”

Sir Roger says, “Do you mean when I first lived them or when I lived them again?”

The Legman says, “Do you aspire to live a new life that you have never lived before?”

Sir Roger says, “God has rejected me. He will not allow me back onto his Earth. At least not yet.”

The Legman says, “God loves you even as he loves Lucifer. Lucifer himself will someday be accepted back into the arms of God.”

Sir Roger laughs. “Yeah. I don’t think so. That joke is not very funny but still it made me laugh.”

The Legman says, “Return to help the woman to escape her nightmare. I suggest you create a tea party in her dream so that she sits down with her monsters to have tea with them. Have her monsters to tell her jokes. She needs to laugh.”

“I will try it.” Sir Roger leaves to again try to help the woman.

The Legman says, “Belial is the equivalent of Lucifer. Belial didn’t destroy God’s Pluto Viso. Souls simply entered Belial’s version of Pluto Viso. God’s Pluto Viso still exists. Belial could not and did not conquer God in God’s world. The potential war is not a war between God and Belial but a war between Lucifer and Belial.”

Phil shook his head. “You lie. You are a liar. The world I just flew from is God’s World.”

The Legman says, “The world is computer like. Understand that.”

Phil says, “I saw the computers and the internet in the future but I don’t really understand computers.”

The Legman says, “Before I send you to protect Billy I will send you to a computer lab. You need to understand the true nature of the worlds.”

Phil asks, “Why?”

“Because you are the husband of Alice Malokey and she should not be married to a stupid person.”
