Blue 'Lou'

HEAT

Intermezzo 4

'it' and 'Lou' have battled throughout the millennia. 'Lou'can be pushed back, but 'Lou' always resurfaces to fight again. 'Lou' has no 'memories' of these push backs. When he re-gathers himself after one of them, a million years has passed.

'Lou' is not aware of 'it'; 'Lou' slowly realizes that with each resurrection that his salvation resides in finding his 'soul' ...  'it' however is quite different - 'it' clearly is aware of the task at hand - each time 'Lou' is in the ascendancy, 'it' must push 'Lou' back.

Man - homo sapien - would codify these battles as 'good' vs. 'evil' - a whole ethos across many cultures would evolve based on this - and all religions today would evolve from this dichotomy.

This is always as it has been because when 'spark' serendipitously created life, 'Lou' was quick to make it in his own mold - 'it' reacted quickly to imbue this life with the power to pro-create and to overcome this mold, but to have a finite existence - in other words to die - but because only in death, can there truly be a defeat of 'Lou' ....
