The Messiah Complex

Following my post Wasn't I Supposed to be Somewhere Else?, I decided to write a bit about the Messiah Complex - the feeling that somehow you are supposed to be saving mankind.

I sat at my laptop and wrote the first line:

Am I supposed to be the saviour of mankind, or am I deluded?

I had every intention of doing a deep, thoughtful and meaningful piece, but before I knew what had happened, the second line flowed out of my fingertips:

According to my Messiah’s Handbook, to doubt one’s divinity is a necessary crisis for any would-be Saviour to work His way through

Well, what could I do, but carry on writing and see where it went?

By the end I had written a short monologue that lasts about four and a half minutes, so I recorded it.

The audio blogs I recorded before have been stored in 2 different ways. The first two I used Supload.com which opens in a new window and plays in a page full of advertising. The last one I did was stored at Myfilehut.com and links directly to the mp3 file (it's about 4MB big).

If one doesn't work for you then try the other

Let me know what you think of the story, and which format, if either, you prefer so that I know which to use in future.
