The Bejeweled Gambling God.

Faites vos jeux messieurs/dames ... et riens ne va plus! How
many of you have heard that cry at the roulette wheel ... and
bet ... and ... lost? Yeah yeah. Bad stroke of luck. Lousy spin
of the wheel. Whaddya expect pal ... the whole thing's rigged
anyway. Psst. Hey. You. Yeah ... you. Wha...? Wanna buy a gamblin'
god? It's got turquoise in it. It's got obsidian. Gold pyrites ...
all set over a human skull. Guaranteed to work. Rub his head ...
place yer bet ... take home the clink. Whaddya say? You in or you
out?

We're at the onset of the first world. The sun of
Earth--Tezcatlipoca--rules over a race of giants so powerful they can
uproot trees bare-handed. He is the Aztec god of night and all
material things. He is the god of smoking mirror ... which gives off
smoke and kills his enemies. He is the god of beauty. He is the god of
war. He is the god of heroes. He is the god of chance.

Okay buddy. How much for the god? And how do I know you ain't rakin'
me over the coals? Hey hey. Watch who yer talkin' to, my friend. I run
a legitimate business here. They know me all over the place. Ask
anybody. I tie up the odds. Make everything even/steven. I guarantee
my gods. They work, my fine feathered skeptic. Fifty bucks is what I
usually sell 'em for. Fifty buck and not a penny less. But seein' as
how you look like yer in the dumper ... I'm gonna give you a break.
Five bucks this one time. Five bucks and not a penny less. Give me
four bucks fifty. Make it four bucks even. 'Cuz I feel bad for you.
'Cuz it's my last god. Sold 'em all out more'n an hour ago. Last one
left. It's here somewhere. Ahh. In my pocket. Here. Wait. I'll take
off the lint. Got a little mussed up in there. Whaddya gonna do? Heh
heh.

And after the first world ... there's the second creation. And after
the second creation ... there's the third creation. Tezcatlipoca
survives them all. And then there's a flood. The land is inundated.
Living things ... dying all over the place. Familiar theme folks?
Tezcatlipoca helps two humans survive. He hides them in the hollow of
a tree and cares for them till the waters subside. After the flood ...
the humans catch some fish and make a fire to cook them. This is a
no-no. Fire is only for the gods. Tezcatlipoca descends. He reprimands
them. He cuts off their heads and places them on their buttocks ...
thus creating the first dogs ... for those of you who need to know
where dogs come from.

Psst. Hey. You. Yeah ... you. Wanna buy a gamblin' god? Faites vos
jeux messieurs/dames ... et riens ne va plus!
