The Exodus Emails

headcount@nile.com is a short story by Joseph Cox. It tells the Exodus story in a series of emails. Here's an example:

Date: Thursday, 9, Mhyr, Fifth Year, Twentieth Dynasty, New Kingdom, Sunrise
From: "Amenemhat" < amenemhat@nile.com>
To: "Pharoah" < bigkahuna@nile.com"
Subject: Re: Headcount


Oh Great and Masterful Pharoah,


It appears the Hebrew slaves have been multiplying faster than the budget can accommodate. I suggest working them harder and beating them more in order to dampen their future anticipated growth curve. We ought to be able to tackle this issue through attrition alone.
