I'm trying to write a short piece of flash fiction everyday from whatever pops into my head at the time. It'll mainly be rambling unsubtle crap but hey, at least its something right?

Sagratus

A wildness infests the world-mind of Sagratus, leaving it to drip slime out into the void. It trails behind it, in a straight line, formulating a version of life previously unknown. We’re certain that it is lost when we see it that way, from our telescopes anyway.

As its mind runs away, further into the universe’s past, we can really wonder, if we can be so bold, what its existence tells us. But we don’t like to wonder too long, thought forming reality might well be the outcome, and nobody wants that, least of all Sagratus.

But we keep a watch just in case, waiting for the last of the mind to slip away into space (although this has, of course, already happened). Watching through refracting glass is quite comforting though, in a way.
