December gray

Dated December 24, 2000. In a country that is hidden, the representatives and rulers of the country will hold its final meeting in a closed, secret. Events such as this very rarely happens, in addition to the hidden place, the members of the meeting was already choice since many years ago. Those who joined in the meeting members must pass a rigorous selection. So whatever activities they were always kept confidential. End of the meeting will be led by the king of kings in this world, God.
Eight in the morning right, no less, and nothing more. Echoing the sound of the gong sounds, marking the meeting to begin. All members of the meeting was an hour ago was in this room, stand in unison.
"Long life to the King! Prosperity for the King! Peace to the King! Majesty to the King! "Unison members began meeting with the echo of the opening meeting of praise to the King.
After that the atmosphere back into silence. At the moment the curtain fabric popped open and a figure resembling a man wearing a black robe. The members meeting in this room believes that black-robed figure that God, the Lord of the natural universe.
God was standing in the pulpit, then raised his hands. He also said, "I bless you all!"
"Greetings!" Says the rest of the meeting simultaneously.
After that meeting the members returned to sit in a chair behind it.
God soon opened the meeting by the end of a small speech. He did not issue a piece of paper, as is done by a president or government official I've ever seen on television.
"As usual the meeting late this time, solely to establish unity and continue our mission in this world. But today I will make it different compared to previous years, because this year, was a very privileges. Christmas, Eid day and date adjacent to each other, then will be followed by the new year, "God took a glass of water that is nearby and drank a little, then take a clean white handkerchief neatly folded next to the glass and wiped the sweat from his face. "Because my time is very narrow, then go directly to the point. I will immediately distribute tasks according to skill and cleverness of you."
The atmosphere remains unchanged, very quiet. All members are meeting in this room no one issued a single word, even those who do not have to whisper, or asked by his side. The members of the meeting is really very serious, there is absolutely no joke, or tamper with the phone. Their eyes were all fixed on the pulpit, in the Lord. Maybe they are afraid of the greatness of God, which had fallen from the sounds of ancient times. So if they make mistakes, they might be a curse.
"Rats!" God said, "I see you are the smartest infiltrate than others, so I'll give you this task. But remember, you must use the intelligence you have. You do not get lost with Santa Claus. Get it!"
"Servant of His Majesty, the King and our God!" Rat stood up and greeted respectfully. He represented his friends who sat beside her.
"Please send this parcel to the rest of the churches," Lord said with dignity, "for while these churches in Indonesia first. Maybe next year we will be venturing into the existing churches of other countries, like Australia, America, France, and all the churches that exist in this world. But you have to be careful! And you need to know, in the parcel bomb was filled, and the hours of the explosion had already set up between the hours of six o'clock until midnight. So immediately you carry out my orders, now!"
"Servant of His Majesty, the King and our God!" Says Rat salute. Mice do not forget the habit when his heart was happy, with both front paws he scratched his mouth to snout. That only a few strands of his mustache twitching. Then he sat back in his chair.
God paused for a moment. He looked at the whole room. "Buffalo and Cow!"
"Servant of His Majesty, the King and our God!" Says Buffalo and Cow salute. When they will move up from his chair, they had touched. And almost one of them fell.
"The job you two this time, just like a regular job you do." The Lord gave an explanation, "You guys pretend to maintain security in the region that has been exploded. But remember! You should be coming too late."
"Servant of His Majesty, the King and our God!" Says Cattle and Buffaloes salute, they were talking simultaneously. After that they sat back in his chair, respectively, but they sit alternately. Cows that first sitting, he bit the tail of Buffalo, then lowered her butt to the chair slowly. Then when the buffalo will sit, cow buffalo helped to hold back with its front legs, maybe they keep so that no overlap or fall.
If you ever watch the circus, that's almost more or less like the real atmosphere in the meeting room. But again I say this, this is not a circus. This is the end of the meeting very seriously. Even as it is very serious, no one, no-I mean an animal that joking or laughing. But if you want to laugh, go ahead. Because you do not fall directly in this meeting room. And even more so of course you are also not an animal.
God was silent again, frowning as if in deep thought. A few seconds passed, but the atmosphere is still maintained his silence. God's eyes kept moving from one corner to another corner, as if searching for something. The members of the meeting was getting anxious waiting tasks.
"The next task for the hare!" God's voice broke the silence.
Hare with a beard on his face stood to represent his friends, "Servant of His Majesty, the King and our God!" He salute.
"I'm confident with my choice, only you can do it, so you should be able to convince the people, and they slander!" God giving out directions with a very calm tone, "Get them to be angry, and mutual suspicion. So that their mutual revenge. That people in this country to become tense and panicky."
"Servant of His Majesty, the King and our God!" Hare say salute. He stroked his beard bushy. After that the two front legs alternately shake it left and right, quickly. Maybe he was flexing his leg muscles are stiff.
"So December is full of firecrackers, fireworks, and … Bomb! December so this time into a memorable festive, in welcoming the new year …"The voice of God booming echo in the room, like thousands of lightning were playing chase, breaking the silence.
"I'll give the last task to … Pig!"
Swine painstakingly rose from his seat, "Hambva Dyang Mulya, Radja dhan Tuhjan kamhi!" She said in a slurred voice.
"You spread to the country," The Lord also gave a briefing in a tone more slowly but there is always pressure in every word. God knows very well that the pig in front of it a little less than perfect hearing. When you see people with unusual signs, immediately eat it! Swallow them raw, do not have to chew! Let your stomach is distended, the growing bulge …"
"S-Servpa-nt of H-his M-ma-jesty, t-he K-king a-and o-uur God!"
" Pigs was immediately greeted respectfully. But when he wanted to sit down, he had a little trouble. He turned first to know the position of chair. Belly full of fat that is almost touching the floor, swaying to the left and right. Form a spiral tail, flicking the tip moves, such as the radar antenna. When she felt her chair position is right, he jumped into the back, and immediately threw his ass. Luckily it did not miss.
"And all who are present here …" The Lord again in a loud voice say, "Chicken, Cockroaches, Lizards, Leeches, Lion, termites, beetles, Crocodile, Lizard, Giraffes, Snakes, turtles, goats, dogs, and others I hope you can understand the position of each, if necessary, help your comrades to another."
"Servant of His Majesty, the King and our God!" All members of the Unison meeting respectful greetings.
"It's all clear?"
"Servant of His Majesty, the King and our God!"
"If there is no question, then this meeting will I end up here."
"Servant of His Majesty, the King and our God!"
"Servant of His Majesty, the King and our God!"
"Servant of His Majesty, the King and our God!"
Then there was the clang of the gong sounds three times. So the meeting was declared finished. The Lord was again held up his hands, and said, "I bless you all!" He came down from the pulpit, then stepped to leave the meeting room.
"Servant of His Majesty, the King and our God!"
"Servant of His Majesty, the King and our God!"
"Servant of His Majesty, the King and our God!"
Echoes the praises of all members of the conference continues to reverberate, accompanied the departure of the Lord. When the Lord will pass through the curtain fabric, the members of the meeting was immediately greeted the end.
"Long life to the King! Prosperity for the King! Peace to the King! Majesty to the King!"

This short story was written on Christmas Day on December 25, 2000 at 3:00 a.m. to 5:00 in the morning, after watching the live broadcast on television about the bombings at churches throughout Indonesia. And a church collapsed and the survivors of the bombings continue to perform its activities. The officers and uniformed police and the armed guard around the church. For those who want to celebrate Christmas have to run one at a time in a long line, through a rigorous examination before entering the church, as if they were prisoners of war.
