Devo is Dead

Jump to Comments

Devo died silently, no coughing, no bleeding. No one knew of its demise. It was lying face down on a couch somewhere for a very long time. But you didn’t bother to look as its balls sagged and its face became heavily lined. Only yesterday, I turned it around and saw its bloated mouth. You will never know when exactly that living body turned into a corpse. My expectation that it would burst into flames was only met with lengthening silence. Even I, The Creator, don’t know precisely how it happened. But who cares. There’s nothing to mourn here. No funerals to be held. Only the fact remains. Devo is dead. And just as every cliched obituary must conclude, Devo, of course, did not die in vain. It give birth, as one of many biological mothers, to Ubiquity, the ugly powerful monster that will reign the world forever and breathe fear into every living soul (by emailing your mom all your porn).
