Blue Medicine

In a prehistoric age when all things in the world had no names,
God descended.
God created life, reason, light...
He separated the darkness, and brought life from the underwater cradle to land.
He bestowed language upon the ape-men, freeing them from the realm of beasts.
He chose the first prophet of the world, who led the entire civilization's history, the descendants of the prophet later established a great nation.
......
In the golden age that followed, people left God and dispersed across the world.
Many things were forgotten, leaving history to be buried by time.
Yet life is a return.
People will eventually remember,
In this story, God first loved the world.

Only God

Swallowed by a whale, even the calmest person would panic.


Yarlessto watched as their canoe's starry reflection on the water's surface descended into the dark, sticky blackness. He lunged forward, firmly grasping his father amid the tumbling turmoil, followed by a dizzying whirl.


He didn't know what the whale that had swallowed them was doing, only that the canoe was tossing and turning inside it, like an insomniac restless on a pile of straw.


Yarlessto felt dizzy, sliding down the whale's massive esophagus. For a moment, fear crept from his legs to his brain; his eyes widened, ready to fall backward.


At that moment, Al held the canoe with one hand and firmly embraced Yarlessto with the other, refusing to let go. He closed his eyes, trying hard not to pass out.


The whale's enormous esophagus contracted and wriggled, sending the swallowed seawater and flying fish to its stomach. The canoe and the father and son slid down the whale's gullet, quickly plunging toward its lower end.
