three selections from the third episode of exodus

waterpuller said the one decided like this: “as the darkness cuts in half i’ll be going all out inside the tootight people, and every first born in the tootight wealth will die––from interruptor’s heir sitting on top, all the way to the first born of the slave who sits behind the counter plus every first born beast. there’ll be such a huge howl in the total tootight stuff that, like the one, has never come into being; and like the one, cannot be transcended. but for all the theobossing buildlings, even a dog won’t stick out its tongue––from a person to a beast––so you will know that the one discriminates between the tootighters and the angelfighters.”

exodus 11:4-7

“tell this to the whole angelfighting witness: at the tenning of this emergence they’ll each figure out a lamb for each shaperspace––lamb per space. if the space lessens from existence because a lamb then they’ll figure it out with their close neighbors and friends to cover each person––cover the lamb depending on how much each person eats. a complete lamb: one year old male will exist for you, you’ll learn from the sheep and from the goats. keep it until the fourteenth day of this month, so the whole golden crowd of angelfighters slits it during the long twilight.”

exodus 12:3-6

waterpuller called all the theobossing beards and told them “expand to reach yourselves an out for your families and slit the skip. take a zaatar union and dip in the blood that’s in the limit to reach the observatory and the two pillars from the liminal blood, but you––don’t any of you exit your innerspace opening until control time. when oneness appears to kill the tootight, if it sees the blood on the lintel, and on both doorposts, then the one will skip that opening and block the destroyer from entering your innerspaces to kill.”
