Ludwig the Lemur God
Ludwig, born a mutant with two heads, was cast out into the dark forest. From a young child he learned to fend for himself. For many years he roamed the forest alone, an outcast. One day he came across a small village that worshiped the sacred two-headed deformity. At first he was a little apprehensive, for he had never received such warmth and kindness. But starved for attention he quickly grew to love it.
Soon word reached the people of his home town, and disgusted they set out to destroy him and his worshipers. Upon reaching the village, the mob was confronted by a tremendous roar, which terrified the town's people and sent them fleeing into the surrounding forest. They were never to be seen again by anyone.
It is said that the combined roars of Ludwig the Lemur God's two heads were heard continents away. They destroyed homes and crops, and from then on no one doubted the power of Ludwig the Lemur God. People built shrines to honor him and brought offerings to his village even long after he had died.
I did this piece for a friend of mine. I hope you all enjoy it.
