The Seed of Life By: Eric Brotsky

Before all had come to exist and flourish, there was only eternal darkness. The Gods in the Heavens had even become lonely and created a seed from a piece of heaven itself. They dropped the seed into the emptiness of the universe and waited for it to settle. The Gods then created a single drop of water and gently released it onto the seed. As the drop hit it, the seed instantly began to swell and expand. The Gods became frightened at the size of the seed but observed it transform into a gigantic mass. And during the next three months land, along with all land creatures were created on the enormous seed. Every single land creature and every piece of land was born. The animals crawled out from the heart of the seed and emerged onto an unfamiliar surface. Landforms of all shapes and sizes rose from the surface of the seed as well. They carefully searched across the land and adapted to their new homes. Some creatures chose to go into the scorching deserts and settle there. Some animals chose to go into the freezing tundra and settle there. Some creatures chose to go into the plains and jungles and settle there. Birds flew in the dark, lightless sky and gazed upon the newly born world while the creatures on the land stared into the vast emptiness of space. And during the next three months all water and water dwellers came to existence. The giant seed began to spit water out from all of its crevices and cracks until giant oceans formed. All the water creatures soon appeared after from the cracks and swam in the vast bodies of water. The thirsty land creatures as well approached lakes and rivers and sipped on the fresh water, ending their three-month thirst. Some even bathed in the cool water and interacted with the sea creatures. Other land dwellers remained distant from the frightening seas and retreated to their homes. Fish swam to all depths of the sea rested on the ocean floor, but many other sea creatures made their way to the surface of the sea and stared into the vast emptiness of space. And during the next three months light and vegetation were given birth to. The magnificent seed shook violently and a bright flash was emitted from the center of it. After the flash, light filled all of the air and land and finally allowed animals to see. The animals inquisitively looked around them and experienced the new sights. As light poured through every single area on the seed, vegetation began to sprout from the land and the bottom of the sea. Land animals grazed on the fresh grass while sea creatures fed on newborn algae. Marvelous trees erected from grassy fields and seemed to peek through the clouds. Fruit grew from branches and fell onto the surface of the seed where animals could eat them. Many animals climbed the trees and rested on the thick branches in the shade of the large leaves. And when the light receded back into the seed during the nights, the animals perched on the tall treetops and stared into the vast emptiness of space. And during the next three months the seed gave life to man. Men and women began to construct from dust on the surface of the seed. One after the other stood on their legs and wondered their eyes around the seed, completely speechless. The Gods stared in absolute awe from the Heavens as they watched human beings interacting on the great seed. Both men and women ran around, feeding on fruit and drinking water as if they owned all the land and water. They collected branches and giant leaves and created homes where they would retreat to when the seed absorbed light back into its core. When the light would be released again, the humans would rush out of their homes and continue to feast upon fruit. They soon learned to hunt animals, both sea and land creatures, and gorge on them as well. The Gods’ fascination grew more and more over time and they finally decided to try and contact the humans. The Gods took small fragments of the Heavens and sent them out into all places of the universe. The fragments shined bright and gave off powerful light. The humans noticed the bright objects twinkling in the night sky but did not understand the origin or meaning of them. The Gods had not realized that they had used all of the Heavens to create the bright stars and were left with nothing. They then understood that the only place left for them to go was in the heart of the seed, where they would be forever bonded. The Gods knew that by residing in the seed, it would be maintained and orderly for all eternity. And still, to this day, the humans rested during the night and stared into the vast emptiness of space.
