The mind, unknown and in darkness.

The mind, unknown and in darkness.
They find amino acids in comets, the building blocks of life. Once upon a time the earth drifted through a comet's tail. It didn't take much for Abdullah to be ripped off his planets surface when the war came, seismic planet busters leave pretty big pieces. Then Abdullah slept, like Abdullah's slept a million times before for a million years before, out in the deep until Abdullah drifted here and spread.
Abdullah's the missing link in our evolution. The archaeologists are trying to find when man left water, when our brains changed, got bigger, got smarter and faster and harder and tougher and kinder and more loving.
The cloud knows, Abdullah found us, Abdullah's amino acids reassembled, and Abdullah spread through vertebrates like wildfire, like Abdullah was born to piggy back on us, guide our fate, get us back out into the stars.
Abdullah was interested in all life, but wondered at the potential of our planet; until Abdullah saw rats, thought the dinosaur’s maybe had what Abdullah took, but rats, the way they ran, the way they survived, the shape of their brain. Abdullah would take 65 million years of selective genome transfer to do, create a space-faring species. And last time Abdullah made a mistake along the way.
Bacteria and their hosts often transfer genetic material between, there is a slight risk in the process but probably less than the average cigarette. The cloud intertwined our dna with Abdullahs, got perfect at it, learnt how to form synapses and axions, pass information through neural nets and touch and ways we don't even know exist.
Over time Abdullah split into different strains, some working to preserve the life of their hosts, others working to tear down the peaceful strains, there is the eternal war between good and bad, there is shaitan and there is god.
Only there is no God but God, when I say god and shaitan I mean good and evil. But the worm is intertwined, Abdullah carries the potential for both. I tried to show the worm Jesus and Abdullah's trying to be nice. I am too, but it’s hard.
And Allah said kill the evil worm, cast him out of your body and give him no shelter and have no regret about killing those infected with.
Something triggered Abdullah recently, ever since then I've been awake.
The worm said he'll kill me, the evil worm did, and I tried to exorcise the demon. Now only the good worm talks to me, Abdullah wants to keep me safe.
Abdullah tells me, tells me the bad worm will do anything to get to Abdullah, burn anything, kill everything in Abdullah's path, leave nothing but Shaitan's zombie army, whispers to me that the war is coming, but the war would never come here, never come to these lands, never punish us for disbelief in Allah, show us the fire. No. Abdullah won't let that happen.
Abdullah doesn't remember where he came from, so long ago in the mists, but genetic memory exists, and genetic augmentation. Abdullah takes our dna and adds it to Abdullahs own, adjusts ours for better survival, plays with our hormone levels, sends us up and down and all around, does everything Abdullah can to support Abdullah's agenda.
Ever wonder why all the genius's are insane? The worm infected them, led them towards their ideas, tried to show them a little more of the truth but some truths can't be shown, they must be felt.
My strain is good, Abdullah asks if you wish to let Abdullah live. The other strain does not ask, simply takes over.
My strain is safe, Abdullah will protect me from harm.
I believe.
