I've recently read a short story, I don't know its name, nor am I sure what language it was written in originally. I'd say it's either in English or in Spanish. It's about God and Michael having a talk. God tells Michael he's disappointed in mankind, and destroys all living things. He then gives Michael the power to recreate the world and disappears saying that there's hope when man is gone. It's also mentioned that God takes the shape of a kangaroo when he reveals himself to Michael.

Does this ring any bells? I've tried Googling a shitload of phrases in the past hour and got nothing

Slightly jacking the thread, but there was this site that had a ton of short SF stories, one of them was about how humans used up the earths resources and after looking for another planet they find one and send a ship towards it, it would arrive after a long time, meanwhile they develop FTL and send another ship to the same planet.After reaching it they use up its resources too and start looking for another planet (finding earth without knowing it) and send a ship for it, midway they meet the first ship coming from earth.

There was also one about a guy playing a modified version of tetris where he falls into a trance and when they remove him from the console he simply drops dead.
