[WP] After sarcastically complaining to God for the 1000th time he drags you to heaven and offers to let you run things for a day to see how the world really works. At the end of your first day he comes back to find the universe a finely tuned machine of excellence.

God stormed in. "How...how did you do it?" Steven leaned back in the Victorian style chair. The office had transformed from its glittering fascade into something obviously taken from Hannibal. Crossing his legs and straightening his blue suit with one hand while a cigarette appeared in the other, Steven said:

"Well it wasn't easy...and it would take another day to explain."

God stepped forward. "How?"

Steven got up, buttoning the blazer, "I took a look at the records by the way. You know? The ones with all the past, present and future horrors of the world." Steven laughed in that strange satirical manner humans often do: 'tis Some really fucked up shit man."

God's eyes ignited into the turbulent flames of rage, " do not test me child. I see you have not learnt your lesson."

Steve ignored the threat, "tell me father, whose worse: the fool or the fool that created the fool?"

"So be it child." God raised his hands and threw them in steve's direction Nothing happened. God backed away, shocked.

Steve similed, "oh yes change of plan- as I did so well...I've decided to stay. I therefore took some preliminary precautions." He inhaled another puff of smoke, clicking his fingers. Angels swarmed in from all directions, armed with flaming swords.

God screamed at them to stop; Steve smiled.

"Your biggest mistake was making them work for free."
