Drabble Challenge #4

Prompt: out of time

The Universe is spread out before me, a 4-D tapestry of space and time.

In this unchanging cosmos, the stars are massive worms with tiny tails and bloated heads, encircled by twisted coils of rock and gas. There is no sound here, no motion. Everything is frozen in silence. Nothing is born and nothing dies. Even the most ephemeral moment persists as a speck of eternity.

From the earliest nanoseconds of the big bang to the final instant of time itself, even the microscopic blip that makes up all of human history, everything is preserved here forever in static splendour.
