The Downfall of Stars

The Downfall of Stars

  Age had no meaning to them. Born out of the turmoil of beginning time, when the universe was just formed they lit the darkness, displaying the way of progression. Energies untold of were theirs to play with and play with them they did. Combining, splitting, searing apart elements into unrecognizable chunks, now creating frequencies of low hums to gamma rays, spilling out into the vast darkness that preceded before them.

    A thousand years pass during which incredible temperatures were achieved. As the temperatures began cooling to a point, it allowed the energy to form into suns. Finally, in a desperate attempt to satisfy the attraction drawing them together, the power of a million suns combine, sending a wave of energy crashing into the void of the universe. A trillion times trillion watts of energy tumble on in the darkness absorbing anything in its path.

  Enormous planets thousands of light years away boil and explode when the racing energy hits. Suns darken in comparison and give up their energy as the wave passes over them.
 
  A million light years have passed now in the waves travel. Now it no longer explodes planets, but sears the very crust of them, causing any life to end in the dull gray left behind.

  Another million light years have now gone by, as the rushing energy lights up the sky of unknown habitats, causing suns to glow a thousand times brighter than they could ever achieve on their own.  Absorbed, reflected and dispersed the energy is filling the void, raising the very temperature of the known universe.

  It has traveled far, forgotten by the very source that had created its beginning.

  Now, after a thousand million light years of travel, the energy has been dispersed and distributed throughout the universe. It now creates the cosmic noise that fills the skies of planets, just a mere murmur of the incredible power it once possessed. The destination finally achieved, cosmic energy falls on a planet dubbed earth, exciting the electrons within electronic devices, the last of its energy absorbed within their circuits, allowing them to function.

  A man turns on his cell phone, unaware of the cosmic significance that made it happen.
