Fiction Flood Story - Melkazza

Melkazza and the Flood

In the village of the giants, also known as Rahdom, men had no god. They were gods unto themselves. This particular village housed the mightiest men in the entire world. They relied on nothing and no one. The king and ruler of this land, also much of the rest of the world at this time was named Melkazza. He stood about thirty six feet tall. Using his riches he adorned himself with jewels of all kinds. He wore a golden crown with many gems encrusted in it, one for every county he had conquered. His skin was darkened from the sun; he wore his hair in three bands of six long blond braids. His earrings were connected to his nose rings with golden chains. He had defiled his body with ink, from head to toe. His most distinctive trait, however, was the long scar that ran from his forehead, through is left eye, and halfway down his cheek. He received the scar while fighting a lion with a club. He was a fearsome man to look upon.

Melkazza was the son of the god known as Shemjazza, leader of the gods. Shemjazza had left this world with all the rest of the other gods that came with him. Melkazza was 380 years old when a small, mortal man named Noah came to him. Noah told Melkazza that he must repent of all the evil works he had done and order his people to do the same. Noah pleaded with him and told him if he did not repent of his sin there would be a mighty flood that covered the entire world, and this flood would kill every living thing.

Noah said, “YHWH, my God told me to give you this message. ‘I, the Lord, will punish the world for its evil and the wicked for their sin. I will crush the arrogance of the proud and humble the pride of the mighty.  I will make people scarcer than gold— more rare than the fine gold of Ophir.  For I will shake the heavens’ (Isaiah 13:11-13). So you see you must repent of your evil ways.”

Melkazza scoffed, “I am the mightiest man living in this entire world. I am god. You should repent your sin to me! Now leave my presence before I kill you and your family. I will serve your dead bodies to my people as a small snack.”

Melkazza went on killing men and ravishing any women he pleased. He was the most famous man in all the Earth. Many women desired to be with him, but he only desired those that he could not have. He went after married women and girls not yet old enough to marry. He was the most feared man in all the Earth. When he came into cities men would lock up their wives and daughters in the lower chambers of their dwellings. If Melkazza found these women, he would ravish them before their fathers and husbands, and then torture and kill that man in front of his victims. He would then force the entire city to drink the blood of those men he had killed.

Every year on Melkazza’s birthday, Noah would come back to Melkazza and plead with him to repent his sin.

Melkazza would tell him the same thing. “Leave my presence, or I will kill you!” After 100 years had passed, Melkazza told Noah, “Do you know this is the day of MY birth, but you come and bother me with this nonsense? Never return to my presence for if you do, that will be your last day.”

When Noah left that day, he went out to the people of Rahdom, and pleaded with them to repent of their sin. The mighty men of Rahdom chased him off with their swords and weapons of battle. They chased him all the way to his own home. Once there, these men saw his massive ark he had been building. They laughed at Noah, scoffed and made rude remarks.

One man said, “There is only rain a few times a year here. You are a fool to think it would ever raise high enough for an ark that size.”

Another man cried, “The poor mortal man thinks his God will destroy us all.”

Noah did not return to the land of Rahdom. But after twenty more years, Noah entered his ark and the heavy rains started to fall. Malkazza noticed that the rain was coming during the dry season and began to be worried. After a day of nonstop heavy rains, the ground was beginning to flood, after three more days the waters from the rain were rising quickly and were about knee high to Melkazza. After another three days, the water was waist high to Melkazza and he went out in search for Noah. By this time the ark had been lifted from the ground. It took Melkazza five days to reach Noah and his ark.

Only Melkazza head stuck out of the water. From afar Melkazza pleaded with Noah, “Please, save me from this horrible flood! Save me and I will never harm you but give you many riches, I will make you the richest man in the whole Earth next to me!”

Noah replied, “I cannot save you. You had your chance to repent your sin. You were given 120 years, but you scoffed at my God. You will face the wrath of God because of your evil ways. You are unnatural and have no goodness in you.”

With those words Melkazza’s head immediately went under the water. He never resurfaced. Many of the other mighty men from the village of Rahdom swam to the highest mountains. They climbed to their highest points until the waters rose above them too. Melkazza was the tallest man at thirty six feet, the waters rose 40 feet above the highest peak of the highest mountain top. Every man, woman, animal, and plant were destroyed aside from Noah and his family. “And the floodwaters covered the earth for 150 days” (Genesis 7:24).
