The full life of a star, five billion years, told at the speed of your scroll.
Before there was light there was patience — a cloud of drifting ash, a hundred suns wide, waiting for a reason to fall.
The cloud folds inward for a million years, until the pressure at its heart forgets how to be anything but fire.
One second. More light than the rest of the galaxy combined — a last argument against the dark.
What survives is a ring of cooling embers and a heart shrunk to a diamond — the debt of light, paid forward.
Every iron atom in your blood was forged in a collapsing star.
Scroll up — it all un-happens.
