Clank… clank… clank… clank… clank…
Somewhere in the void, a hammer kept coming down upon the anvil and echoed into eternity… Clank… clank… clank…
If you look around and follow the sound of the hammer, you will eventually come to notice a flickering light right between the remnants of what used to be the universe… Clank… clank… clank…
How long has it been since the hammer kept swinging? … clank… clank… clank…
No one knows, not even the old man who is swinging that hammer… clank… clank…
He kept working never stopping, not even for a sip of water… clank… clank… clank…
He looked like a very ancient ghost, shriveled up and pale… clank… clank… he looked like he will topple down at any second… clank… clank… clank… but he never did… he kept swinging, clank, and swinging, clank, and swinging even more, clank, clank, clank, clank… sparks flew around… clank… clank… clank…
At first the ringing caused by the blows might sound bland… clank… clank… clank…. But if one focused and listened to them long enough… clank… clank… clank… the rings will sound like a mix of wailing and melancholy… clank… clank… clank…

One has to wonder, what power kept this man alive! Clank… clank… clank… what was he doing? What was he making?!
If you take a good look at this old man, you will see that he was crying… clank… clank… clank… he was crying blood, as his tears dried up a long time ago… clank… clank… clank…
But at the same time those aggrieved eyes have a burning fire within them, a fire that can even burn the fiery pits of hell… clank… clank… clank… a fire that will never give until the old man achieves his goal… clank… clank… clank…
It seemed that the sound of the hammer in the old man's hand will keep reverberating and echoing for another eternity… clank… clank… clank… and it did!
Another eternity passed by… clank… clank… clank… and another… clank… clank… clank… and another… clank… clank… clank… and another… clank… clank… clank…
It seemed like he would never ever stop… clank… clank… clank… but upon a fateful moment, the ringing of the hammer finally stopped.
The eyes of the old man dimmed and the fire in them went out, he began falling to his back with his hammer in hand, a rather hearty smile began forming on his face and a hoarse laughter. with a barely audible voice he said: " I will finally be joining you soon".
His eyes beginning to shut for his eternal slumber. He was finally done, now he could rest.The moment the old man completely closed his eyes, light began shining from where he was standing, which began expanding swallowing the whole void… and eventually fading into whiteness.
