The pointy thingy

Once, in a far off land (off earth in fact), lived a small group of molecules, that grew and expanded and eventually assembled themselves, over time, into organs, and later into a unified body - a Thing.

The arm called the totality - Arm. The leg called the totality - Leg. The blood-pumper called the totality - Heart. The electricity-mover called the totality - Brain; and so on.

And they fought and fought and fought about this, but it was all in fun, and they all knew it; so they stopped. Then, the fun began.

Eventually, the Thing turned into a pyramid-shaped Thing, with a pointy top that reached to the stars, a long slender torso of light, and a globe-sized stump of living molecular propensity that grew deep into and out of the ground. Kind of a galaxy-sized ball of living matter on a chain of light.

Later, much later, when the last of those stars went out, and night fell upon the place, the pointy thingy broke off from the far off land, and like a singular shooting star, shot across the universe, landing here, on this little planet.

Once, in a nearby land (right here in fact), lived a small group of molecules, that grew and expanded and eventually assembled themselves, over time, into organs, and later into a unified body - a Thing.

The arm called the totality - Arnold. The leg called the totality - Leo. The blood-pumper called the totality - Brenda. The electricity-mover called the totality - Edward; and so on.

And they fought and fought and fought about this, but it was all in fun, and they all knew it; so they stopped. Then, the fun began.

ps- just kidding, they never knew it.
