Flash Fiction #480 -- The Glory (Drabble)


 Art work by

JA Marlow


The ancestors found The Glory -- a flower that spanned light-years, glittering with spots of radiant color.  They were drawn to such beauty after their long dark journey.

The glittering colors seen from afar became stars, and each star circled by worlds.

Some grew to love certain worlds.  They adapted to their choices, and later generations forgot their past, burying the truth in myths and legends.

On one glorious day, the extraordinary flower trembled and sent all the star seeds into space, scattered on universal winds. This is why we live with cousins everywhere we travel.

Or so the myths say...

 

(JAM showed this lovely artwork in  chat.  I came up with a little story for it.  This was a fun, new way to write something!)
