them. But just like the universe, they too, all of them, expanded and grew, then shrunk, fizzled out and died. Only I was eternal. And after a passage of indiscernible amount of time, eons, I came to the same scene that I knew I had seen a billion times before. I talked to myself as I crawled, broken and defeated, over a distant planet. I remade him and the circle was complete, the cosmic snake bit its tail and I watched the man walk into the spire, into the sphere, starting the cycle of creation all over again.
But it was all a trick. A lie. Everything I had experienced served to do only one thing. Attract. I was like a lure cast into the water. In my state, for a moment, I could feel it, stirring. Something ancient and vast, outside our own galaxy. I could see it draw its gaze toward us like some great eye consisting of trillions of minds. I could see – feel its hunger, heard the voices and their litany as they turned towards our planet.
I found that I hadn’t moved from the spot where the sphere first appeared, my fingers still touching it. The round object was real enough, but everything else had been a lie and only a mere second had passed. A second wherein I lived years. My hand fell to my side and the sphere disappeared just like it had appeared.
It is then that it all began…
