Fan Fiction ❯ Finding Forever ❯ Part X ( Chapter 10 )

Everything was dark. Not like black dark—like lightless dark, like blind dark; like the dark you see in your mind when you close your eyes. An unseeable dark. It started with a word.

 

“Why?” it asked. It was formed from words, questions, answers, knowledge. It grew. It was the sun. It found light in a vacuum of nothing. No, it made light. It was light. The sun sighed, stopping to rest. It was tired from travel. The sun rested. It had a dream. In its dream it saw objects, shapes, things. When it awoke, it surveyed the galaxy and was unsatisfied.

 

“I want more!” it said. “I want my dreams!” Our sun was a scientist.

 

`Why?' It pondered. `Why?' he wanted to know. So the scientist thought as it sat, about how it could make its dreams into reality. First, it made a heart, warm and wonderful, undying, and covered it with a blanket. The blanket was a thick embrace, keeping the heart alive. The sun made another similar blanket out of protection; the veins that ran to the heart and kept it alive.

 

Over that it set a cloth which molded over the warm ball of essence, filled with holes and cracks to let in air that led straight to the heart. The sun was pleased but noticed there was something more that was needed. The ball needed life and, a name.

 

“Something more. Something to take care of this life. Of my baby.” So the sun thought for a while and finally, as the baby developed, the scientist thought of something. He breathed a life into it. But how could life come out of nothing? No, it couldn't be created from nothing. Everything, the heart, the protective blankets, were all a part of the sun. The sun used himself; used his own life to create life, in another form. He let his imagination go, creating animals, everything. He watched as they thrived and grew and he smiled down on them every day. The sun was happy with what he had produced, and he was even happier when as he watched them grow.

 

Finally pleased, he sighed, kissing his baby good night and turning over to sleep.
