In the beginning there was nothing.

No life, no planets, no stars.

No one quite knows how it happened, or why, or when, but somehow, someway.. a singular point in the nothingness came into being. Like the first point of an artist's brush on a plain and empty canvas, a singularity gave way to the creation of a masterpiece. Our universe.

The singularity, as we call it, was the start of it all. How it started, however mysterious and misunderstood, is the work of an imagination far beyond that of any dreamer. An incredible explosion, violent, powerful, massive, brighter than we could ever perceive, expanded this point forever dispelling the nothingness and forever changing what existence would be.

From this violent start, what we now call “The Creation”, came all that would be. In all directions the very essence of existence became borne from the energies released. All that would become our world, our stars, ourselves, spread throughout the space, filling it with colors, with energy for life.

As The Creation settled, bunches of energy gathered, attracted to each other, joined together in the primitive heavens. These groups of energy, massive and impossibly expansive, gathered tighter and combined into colossal bodies in the cooling space.

These were the first gods.

I wrote that a while back, it just came to me in a moment of thought and I think I might develop it into the origin story for something bigger someday.. perhaps.

- Me.
