Graven Image

Thou Shalt Not Make Unto Thee Any Graven Image: You do not heed this warning as you begin your statue of God. What happens next is your own doing.
As the chisel's final tap echoed in the quiet studio, you stepped back to behold the completed statue. It stood before you, bathed in the soft glow of afternoon light filtering through dusty windows. Smooth curves and defined muscles captured in stone, every detail meticulously crafted to reflect what you imagined divinity might embody.
Yet, you weren't religious. You'd never felt the pull of faith or the certainty of belief. But here, in this sculpture, was something beyond your usual creations. The figure, nude and serene, seemed to emanate a tranquil power, a godliness you could almost feel in the room.

Suddenly, a subtle vibration seemed to fill the air, and a shimmering light enveloped the statue. Before your disbelieving eyes, the stone began to soften, to shift, as if awakening from a deep slumber. The figure moved, grayish flesh, a radiant shine, standing before you now in human form. Almost human. The skin was all wrong, as gray as the stone that was used.
"You have broken the commandment." His voice boomed, echoing and yet he was not opening his mouth to yell, "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image." He reminded, eyes wide and intense.

Your voice trembled as you spoke, "I only wanted to capture-!"
"You have created an idol," he interrupted, his gaze unwavering. "An image to worship, in defiance of my law." He grabbed you by the arm, sitting on a stone bench before he threw you over his knee, ass up. He pulled down your dusty, stone covered jeans to your ankles. His expression softened, but his voice remained stern. "The consequences must be met." He explained before landing a stinging hand on your rear. The sound was loud, filling the whole room. It hurt your ears a little.
