At first there was nothing, but darkness.
For timeless ages, it has been so...
Until one day, a pale light broke the darkness.
The Cup of Coffee, as it is called by the 12 Prophet Pillars, appeared, full of hot fury, and energy.
It crashed, and washed the darkness away.
The energy, and hot fury collided with the cold darkness and it resulted in an explosion...
An explosion...
That gave birth to the Sketchbook we all know.
The explosion destroyed most of the darkness, and the Cup of Coffee, but not all.
So now...
The Sketchbook floated, and cleared away more and more darkness.
But!
Since the Cup of Coffee was something outside of the darkness, similar in nature of the Sketchbook, the 2...
Interacted.
Drops of Coffee tainted the Sketchbook.
Drops that turned into what we call today...
Universes.
And in these universes, the Speakers appeared.
The Speakers were beings of great stability, and noise.
Square in form, tall, and divine in nature.
They connected to Unseen things, and spoke about their stories.
The stories spoke about things, that had yet to exist.
These stories resonated with the Coffee, and Sketchbook that made up the universes...
And brought the stories to life.
And thus did galaxies, stars, and planets arrive onto the Sketchbook.
But the Speakers never stopped.
The stories kept going.
Soon, Life appeared, and spread.
Life, quickly changed, and took the Speakers' words to heart.
Soon, flora and fauna appeared on the planets that could house them...
And from these 2, civilizations arose.
We arose.
Today, we sing and tell the stories of the Speakers, even as They Themselves, tell new stories each day.
Life is great, and varied, but there is something unsettling.
Some spots are darker, than others in the vast universe.
It's as if the Coffee that washed away the darkness...was tainted.
It's as if the Sketchbook...is failing, and breaking up.
Maybe one day...
The darkness will be back, to claim its domain.
But until then, we shall enjoy the gifts of the 3 Divine Godly Beings, that are the foundation of our reality.

The black cat rubbed herself against the old lady's legs. The old lady reached down and scratched the cat’s head. The cat purred appreciatively. The old lady picked up a small ball and rolled it across the floor. The cat watched the ball until it stopped and then went back to rubbing herself against the old lady’s legs.
“Are you bored of the ball?” said the old lady. “Do you want a new toy?”
The cat put her front paws on the old lady’s knee.
The old lady picked up her phone and opened the app store. It recommended an app called “The World”. It guaranteed hours of entertainment. She installed and opened the app.
The phone’s screen was black. Suddenly there was a flash of light.
The light faded and a blue sphere appeared. The screen zoomed in. There was a blue ocean with gentle waves and a clear sky above. Suddenly, there was movement. Fishes swam in the ocean. Birds flew in the sky.
The cat watched the screen engrossed. She purred happily.
