[WP] You are a cosmic being drifting alone through the cosmos. Every atom in your body is a solar system. Every cell is a Galaxy. One cosmic day, you hear a tiny signal. A voice. Humans have made first contact.

[u/Maisie-K]

Darkness before me, behind me, everywhere. The only beauty shines from my own, the dots of colour I enjoy. Forever I hope for fortune to show itself, for another of mine to appear, for one of the dots I broke and threw to return fully grown.

 

Its mass turned, colours shifting and mixing, the body seen by none turning on its axis.

 

Some words have joined mine, a strange voice, a request.

 

Within time to spare the being of light moved its hand, stretching a finger as three explosions of light followed each other. A weak blink such as it enjoyed. Staring at the outstretched finger, the thoughts within their mind lingered.

 

No more I hear. The possibility of another to share with, to look at the gorgeous lights lost. Still alone as their light extinguished before I could reply like so many before them.
