Come up with an original creation myth. You can take inspiration from myths which already exist. But try for a brand new story. At the very least, retell an obscure creation myth with your own spin.

We all probably know the creation myths from the Judeo-Christian tradition. But posted this challenge because I remembered learning long ago about the creation myths of Native Americans and other indigenous cultures. They involved tricksters and other wily, entertaining characters. Those were imaginative and captivating.

Somethings to chew on…

The myth can explain the creation of reality, matter, the universe, earth, life, intelligence, humans or whatever else you feel is significant.
Choose to use deities or don’t.

Wikipedia, as usual, has a superb archive of various cultures’ creation myths, if you need some inspiration: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creation_myth
