“Ingleman kills penguins for God. They were a mistake, you see, in the first instance. God realises now just how stupid they look. He is embarrassed he ever created them, graceless waddling monsters that they are…”
A short story about an avicidal god and his chosen accomplice. Not recommended for anyone who particularly loves penguins.
This story was first published on the Volume blog (now sadly defunct), then later reprinted in Ink, Sweat & Tears, which is also now defunct.
