Short Stories by Lucid Illusions

Galaxy

Their laughter once shook the fabric of reality, echoing through newborn galaxies like the roar of primordial giants. With a mere thought, they crafted celestial wonders, sprinkling stardust across the universe. Yet, their insatiable curiosity surpassed even their grandest creations.

They were the Architects of All That Is, woven from the threads of time before time, their forms as limitless as the void they painted with stars. They delighted in the infinite playground of possibility, manipulating the rules of creation like artists with an infinite canvas. But even the boundless expanse of the universe can grow dull when every creation feels like a repetition of the last.

The excitement of crafting galaxies waned, the brilliance of supernovae now a faint echo in their minds. Each cosmic event, every emergence of life, seemed mundane compared to their former awe.

So, with a silent shrug that sent tremors through the fabric of time an space, they stepped back. The Architects became Watchers, allowing their creations to unfold independently. They watched from afar, their gaze as distant as the stars, as life flourished on countless worlds.

A new game took root within them – a silent wager against the cosmic clock. Would they rediscover the thrill of exploration and witness something unique, a creation not of their making? Or would the galaxies, created from their boredom, remain as stagnant as its creators, adrift in a universe they no longer cared to shape?
