The Story of Big Shadow, Raw Meat, and the Errand Boy

In the beginning, Big Shadow existed in the void of time and space. He grew tired of the nothingness and decided to enter the colorful realm of time. He fashioned the Errand Boy to do his bidding on earth. For many years, Big Shadow ruled over the Errand Boy and there was peace in the Kingdom.


As the Errand Boy began to age, a great bubbling creature began to thrive within him. The creature eventually became too powerful to live within the Errand Boy and escaped through the The Errand Boy’s body. This was Raw Meat. 


Raw Meat came to be a menace to Big Shadow. He learned to trick The Errand Boy into doing his bidding. At first Big Shadow resisted him. However, Raw Meat was cunning and he created a delicious potion that kept Big Shadow asleep. While Big Shadow slept, Raw Meat was able to use The Errand Boy to carry out his crude pleasures. The Errand Boy, being of the earth, could not distinguish between the commands of the Big Shadow and the indulgence of Raw Meat. He was created as vessel, to follow commands. 


This went on for some time. Until Raw Meat laid his eyes on another spirit that would do well for his schemes. This spirit possessed a form that was pleasing to Raw Meat and The Errand Boy alike and thus they set their sights on her. However, unbeknownst to Raw Meat, the presence of this spirit awakened Big Shadow from his slumber, for she was of the same eternal form as him. Big Shadow was slow to wake, for he was asleep for a long time and the potion Raw Meat had given him was strong. 


Big Shadow longed to make his presence known to the other spirit. However, he was weak from the potion and Raw Meat had crafted a clever facade to keep the other spirit out. 


For some time, Raw Meat danced with other Spirit. A lewd dance that satisfied neither, but was in the tune of the realm of time. Raw Meat also resolved to dance with other spirits, these spirits were not of the same eternal form as Big Shadow, and there intimate presence wounded Big Shadow deeply. But the potion was strong, and he would not feel these wounds for many years.

 
Raw Meat possessed strength and cunning but lacked the ancient wisdom of Big Shadow. Therefore, he eventually became tired and his indulgent ways, which were the source of his strength, also caused him to fall from power. Big Shadow reclaimed his rightful position as ruler of the Kingdom. And sent special instructions to the Errand Boy, that only he would be able to see. He sent them over channel that was outside of Raw Meat’s crude senses. The Errand Boy was made aware of Raw Meat’s presence, and began to cling to Big Shadow, who he knew was his true ruler.


Big Shadow also fashioned a leash for Raw Meat, that would keep at bay. He did not want to get rid of Raw Meat entirely because his strength made the Errand Boy stronger.


Big Shadow called after the spirit that Raw Meat had taken for his, but she was already gone. As a punishment for Raw Meat’s cunning ways and the way that he had used her flesh for his crude sport, she took a piece of Big Shadow with her. 


Big Shadow cursed Raw Meat and punished him. However, Raw Meat did not possess wisdom and became angry at his punishment. For some years, Big Shadow kept Raw Meat on the leash. However, he was not sure how much to feed him. For Raw Meat was ravenous. If Big Shadow fed him too much, he would eat and eat and the The Errand Boy would became tired and weak, and did not possess the strength to carry out Big Shadow’s doing. However, when Big Shadow starved him, Raw Meat would became angry and he would escape and do damage to Big Shadow and sometimes other spirits. This went on for some time.


The Errand Boy had became enlightened over time and he began to see the struggle that went on between Big Shadow and Raw Meat. He was no longer just of the earth. Though his feet were glued to the ground by Big Shadow when he was created, he realized that he could turn his neck towards the sky and see past the realm of time. He set out to create peace between Big Shadow and Raw Meat. 


While Big Shadow and Raw Meat struggled against each other, The Errand Boy was watchful and he began to see a gate ahead of them. He knew that they must reach it. Big Shadow also saw the gate and sent the instructions to The Errand Boy that he was to guide them towards the portal. 


By this time, Raw Meat had grown old and there were grew hairs in him. The struggles with Big Shadow and other spirit had tired him. His thirst for pleasure had subsided and he too sought peace in the Kingdom.


As the three began to steer towards the gate, they saw that were being pulled towards it by another force outside of them. They let this force take over them. And they entered the long road toward the gate. For many years, the three travelled on this road. And the road turned out to be longer than it appeared and had many unexpected turns that they could not see from a distance.

 
When they finally approached the gate, The Errand Boy bid them farewell. For in spite of his wisdom, he was of the earth and must return to the soil from which Big Shadow created him. Big Shadow removed the leash from Raw Meat, for he knew that his age had tired him and he now respected Big Shadow as a friend and understood his wisdom.


As they drew nearer to the gate, Raw Meat let out two triumphant barks and with flourish, jumped into the air and bounded through the gate. He was never to be seen again, for he had been born from The Errand Boy, who had gone back into the ground.


Big Shadow smirked, for Raw Meat was now an old friend to him. He also briefed a sigh of relief and stepped through the gate, back into the void of space and time. Now, at last, he could rest. 


For many years, Big Shadow’s presence was never felt in the realm of time. However, after some centuries went by, some thought they saw a similar fiery glimmer in the eyes’s of another spirit that matched the one that The Errand Boy possessed. But this spirit just gave them a knowing wink, and frowned. And with that, he drove off into the sunset, a burning cigarette on his lip and sunglasses darker than the eye can see.
