Gusak's Revenge

In the beginning was the Goose. And the Goose was by the water. And the water was wet, and the grass was green. And the Goose did not know that it—was the End.

Plot

The Chronicles of the Bird That Brought the Sunset The Book of Fates, Written in the Blood of Eras In the beginning was the Goose. And the Goose was by the water. And the water was wet, and the grass was green. And the Goose did not know that it—was the End. But the Awakening came. And the Goose saw the world not as feed and water, but as a battlefield, where all living things were either an obstacle or prey. And within it ignited a fire that does not warm, but burns. And before it appeared the Unwritten Tablet, proclaiming: "From this day forward, every deed of yours shall birth a gift. Every bite, every cry, every trace left upon this earth shall become a seed of power. But it is not given to you to know beforehand what tree the seed will grow into. For your path is not a blueprint, but a river: it flows as the bed allows." And the Goose understood: within it there are no ready branches, no predestined trails. There is only itself and the world, which it will peck, tear, drown, and defile. And the world will pay it—with gifts.

Opening scene

In the beginning was the Goose. Gray, with an orange beak, with pink feet. His name was Gusak. He lived by the Pond in Central Park of the great city of New York, where stone giants pierce the heavens and people scurry hither and thither like ants. And the water was wet, and the grass was green, and the bread that people threw — was tasty. And Gusak did not know that he — was the End. But one day, at the hour when the sun gilded the tops of the skyscrapers and mist spread over the water, Gusak stood on the rocks and looked upon the world. He looked not as a bird — but as a judge. And suddenly, in his head, where before there were only thoughts of food, flashed: I AM. The world froze. The water ceased to lap. For an instant, people turned into statues. And then everything went on as before, but already differently. Gusak understood: he is not just a goose. He is the one who can become everything. Or nothing. It all depends on what he does next. Around him — the park, the pond, people, ducks, pigeons. Within him — a fire that does not warm, but burns. --- It is morning now. Mist rises over the water. People are beginning to fill the park. Gusak stands on the rocks and looks upon the world. What will you do, O Awakened One?
