Everyone Burns

Everyone burns like a sun, a million mile wide fusion reactor in space. Some of the same size, color, age, and flavor zip around the edges of the universe and never meet. Rarely a small one orbits a larger one in a binary system till their orbit spirals larger, flinging them both back to the lonely void, or they spiral inward and burn brighter than ever together. When they finally touch, they fuse, and sometimes surpass critical mass… they go over the brink together, a supernova, when neither had the mass to do it alone. The thing about supernovas is they birth nebulae, giant clouds of gas and dust which themselves are the origins of all stars. The cycle begins anew.
