Norse Creation Myth

I described it to my partner as “Oh crap I exist.”

I have a book of norse myth that I’ve alway wanted to do something with and while reading the creation myth was struck by how beautiful it is.

Three gods find these roughly human shaped logs washed up on the shore give them consciousness and then just leave. “We’ll now that you are burdened with awareness we’ll just be off. I guess you two can just figure everything out yourself.”

In some ways it’s very much a “I never asked to be born” story but for me it’s about that feeling of being thrust into a world nobody prepared you for and don’t really understand the rules.
