The God-Plllnk is a science fiction short story by Jerome Bixby, first published in 1963. Set on Phobos, one of Mars' moons, it follows two creatures, Grg and Yrl, who await the arrival of a divine entity. Their anticipation turns to disillusionment when the god-like being crashes and is killed by a creature called the 'plllnk', leading to a profound shift in their understanding of faith and divinity. The story explores themes of faith, expectation, and the harsh realities of life beyond Earth.
