“You're the
sunshine of my life.”

Today I'm thinking of inviting CJ over
for the weekend for some generalized loafing around and perhaps also
a little interstellar travel. Oh, and chess! Anyway onto the flash
fiction!
Reaper Of The Stars
A rock floated
through space year after year. The rock lived as an unthinking thing
in the empty, silent, voiceless, expanse that surrounded it. It
floated through galaxies as supernovas happened in the distance and
as planets and moons formed in the solar systems it passed through.
The rock's only destination was where it stopped.
And it would
stop at a little blue planet in a solar system with one star.
The rock would
collide with the planet straight on. The rock also did not show to be
microscopic compared to the planet. It showed to be quite large. It
would do a lot of damage. At least to the life living on it.
And so the rock
collided. Many of the dominate races of massive reptiles and other
creatures were killed and their populations diminished to
exterminated in the catastrophes that followed as a result of the
rock's collision and other events. But other species continued the
flow evolution.
The thing to
wonder now is when another rock will come to visit the little blue
planet.
