In the emptiness of the beyond, there is nothing. Not time, not space, not light, not matter. Only the beyond, an expressionless void. Non-matter, the eternal secret between rock and light. Complete opaque emptiness, with no exit. complete nothingness, the black of light.
Then suddenly a trail of dust born of nothing, with no rules. the return, like the tide that floods, fallen out of nowhere. A mound of pure light. A pause, and then time begins with the explosion. Everything compresses, imploding atttaining a density that suddenly propulses billions of luminous objects. The birth of space, the birth of matter, time begins its race to eternitty.
Rocks flung throughout the universe in some cosmic order. The rocks safe, precious cargo, search for light, wondering about their origins.
