Witness Lucifer's bold attempt to sway the universe away from creating mankind as he stands before the throne of Being. Set in the central space of Being itself, this story follows Lucifer's monologue about time, evil, and the true nature of consciousness. As he makes his case, the stakes become higher and the tension escalates. If you enjoy exploring the nature of reality, consciousness, and the themes of good and evil in "Paradise Lost" by John Milton or "The Screwtape Letters" by C.S. Lewis, then this short story is a must-read.
