Requiem for a Sun
A requiem in four movements

Requiem
for a Sun

The full life of a star, five billion years, told at the speed of your scroll.

I — Dust

Colder than
memory

Before there was light there was patience — a cloud of drifting ash, a hundred suns wide, waiting for a reason to fall.

II — Ignition

Gravity is the
oldest hunger

The cloud folds inward for a million years, until the pressure at its heart forgets how to be anything but fire.

III — Supernova

All bright things end at once

One second. More light than the rest of the galaxy combined — a last argument against the dark.

IV — Remnant

The ash learns
to orbit

What survives is a ring of cooling embers and a heart shrunk to a diamond — the debt of light, paid forward.

Coda

We are its ashes

Every iron atom in your blood was forged in a collapsing star.
Scroll up — it all un-happens.
