Alcor Eats a Star

marshmellowextract:

A children’s tale on hubris and why Planet XII has no sun.

Once upon a time there was a shining star.

It shone high and bright, bringing light and life

To all who saw its radiant glow

One day, a demon came across the star

That demon was Alcor the Dreambender

Alcor saw the star shine and thought

“I wonder if I can eat it?”

So he opened his mouth wide

Wider than any mouth had reason to be

And swallowed the star whole.

But the Star was bright, and hot.

It burned the Dreambender terribly

And when he swallowed the star down

It continued to burn brightly

This caused Alcor’s stomach to become very, very upset

And he coughed

And he heaved

And he cried

And he screamed

Until what was left of the star came out

Alcor continued to cry

His insides burnt

And he vowed to never

Ever

Touch a Star

Again

The star’s remains encircled the planet

That it used to shine its light upon

And continued to burn

For centuries more

Until finally

It went out

And the Star

Was no more
