The Colors of the Stars

At the same instant, everything came to a stop.

On a scale smaller than the quarks known to humanity,

no living thing could tell how long everything had stopped, because even time had stopped. And yet it seemed as if nothing had stopped at all, because when time began flowing again, everything started moving once more.

But something must have happened during that unmeasurable span of time.

Because on this tiny planet Earth, once time could be measured again, all living things had fainted for an hour.

And irreversible changes had taken place.

Earth was like a pair of chopsticks, mixing all living things together like dumpling filling and creating new species.

Perhaps to give the other creatures, the ones not mixed into dumpling filling, a chance to survive, Earth used its wet chopsticks to pick the leftover filling back up and put it in the freezer.
