The Universe

Short story by Jonas Emmanuel L. Quiñones First Place, Literary Contest 2023 Short Story Category

It was claimed that the so-called creation of the Universe came from the Big Bang Theory, but somehow a scenario has been formulated along with the other assumptions in the world of science. In an alternate period of time, a speck of dot was lying in a void of nothingness. Every time the dot moves, it will always seem to just stay in that position The area was dark, so dark it was full of radiating aura of black energy that swivels alongside that dot It blinds its vision every time it goes, and it will remain that way for an infinite amount of time. Although some flashes can be illuminating in any random point of the void, it was very subtle but shows a glimmer of hope that the situation of the dot can be better. The chance of witnessing something other than darkness is improbable. Still, the speck won’t stop moving.

Until one time, a blast of energy that came from a source light years away struck the dot and brought it at an unprecedented speed that was even faster than the speed of light. It delivered something magical, something that is too good to be true. For the very first time, the light illuminated the dot such that it blended completely alike alongside the other vibrant particles of light. Alas! It was a wide array of universes that was infinitely larger than the speck itself. It stretches through anything that the dot can look off.

The dot wanted to explore even just one universe, but the bodies inside it just seemingly went nearer the dot as if they wanted to initiate a wonderful adventure. On the north of the horizon, there were white spots everywhere, but bigger areas covered in the night sky. They were a kite of stars that even formed imaginary objects with varying colors Some were light and some were dark, and it suited pretty well alongside the comets dressed like white dresses that came from nightingale parties. On the east and west, there were planets, and others even have beautiful rings made of rocks.

It shows that everything we see is unique in their own ways. Supernovas are felt almost all the time, forming a very delicate layer of heat to provide assurance and empathy that no heavenly bodies are allowed to get cold and should be full of heat everlastingly.
