Brisbane Brahma

di Chinmoy Mukherjee (Autore)

Chinmoy Mukherjee, 2025

In the neon-drenched underbelly of Brisbane's Fortitude Valley, the ancient god Brahma, weary of endless cycles of creation and dissolution, seeks a successor not from the pious but from the city's most notorious criminals. Twenty outlaws, including meme-legend Adi Fatso, arsonist Little Bun, and deceiver Susan Alias, are summoned to a cosmic interview. Each must answer an eight-fold query on wielding divine power: absorbing the dying universe's energy, condensing it with a seven-day roar, forming hydrogen particles, forging stars through fusion, building life's elements like carbon and oxygen, their motivation for godhood, regrets carried forward, and unique street-smart skills. Their responses blend gritty criminal ingenuity with scientific principles of cosmology, revealing visions of creation rooted in chaos, control, deception, or destruction. From the twenty, four are shortlisted: Little Bun envisions a purifying inferno, Wacky Gum a flawless ordered structure, Magpie Mick a static jewel hoard, and Susan Alias a compelling narrative of hope and lies. Brahma selects Susan, the ultimate con artist, for understanding creation as a shared deception. As the new god, she absorbs the old universe's essence, fabricates reality through persuasion—convincing particles to exist, fuse, and evolve into galaxies, stars, and life. Yet, in her triumph, she confronts the bitter irony: having scammed the divine and won absolute power, she is eternally alone, with no audience left to deceive in her flawless, flawed cosmos.
