Do you know how many glowing Spheres there are? No? Well, there are about 200 billion trillion stars in me alone, which is quite a bit mind you.

On the other hand, there's only four - with two more coming into existence some two hundred Spheres away from each other - of my Holes in this little section. They somehow managed to eat so, so, so, many of the Spheres glowing or otherwise. I’ve nearly given up already, nothing I do seems to do anything to them, or even stop anything that gets near enough to go down the slippery slope of Stretchiness.

Shifting to the two new Holes I tried something I’ve been wanting to do for a while. What if they just absorbed each other into one big Hole that I can manage easier?

Pulling them together, resulting in them just, popping together? It’s hard to explain how two holes somehow become one when they’re being observed in a 2-D space ok? But they seem to just merge together with what I would imagine being a very satisfying popping sound.

One not Stretching the other, but just enough in a difference that instead of seamlessly merging together, they just, pop.

Moving the now significantly bigger Hole over to 2 and 1, still spinning although a little closer now, and let force carry the merged Hole closer and closer spinners.

What happened next was unexpected but still satisfactory in the outcome.

As the merged Holes moved closer and closer on a course for Hole 1 on its revolution to the side the Merged Hole would encounter. As they touched, as expected, they also absorbed each other suddenly, but the spike of force caused Hole 2 to also be sucked in and formed a Super Massive Hole Or SMH for short.

Well the SMH now had a absolutely massive well to go along with it’s name. With it, nearly an entire section of glowing Spheres - about 1 billion - with it, not including the other, numerous, smaller, nonglowing, Spheres with them.

Looking at the new Light System - as I like to call it now that I technically made it - it seemed to still be spinning even though there was only one SMH with nothing else with it causing all the Spheres to spiral.

Shifting to the SMH to see if there was anything different, surprisingly, there was. The core now instead of just being a path of nothingness, is now a spiral too! At least I think it is. Its more like a circle, but its moving around and around really fast in a sort of ring where the core would be.

This could be something new.

Even though in any reasonable mind it shouldn’t, it feels like it might be possible to go through now. Like a… portal. Whats a portal?

It feels familiar but not at the same time, as if I’ve known what it meant the entire time, but just now linked what it was to the word for the first time. I’ve had that feeling a lot recently.

Shifting towards the ring portal, it feels natural to move through it. Like I had been doing for how ever long its been on the outside.

Now going through, I’m seeing all the different things all the Holes combined have eaten. The light, chunks of Spheres, stretched bits of glowing Spheres. All merging into combinations I’ve seen before of colors and shapes.

Also with… thicker shapes?

These new shapes were…

Amazing!

All new types of shapes!

Information I haven’t even realized was there started flooding in; cubes, rectangles from squares, cylinders and true spheres from circles, elevated three-sided pyramids, with sometimes square bases!

As I took in all of the new designs I could make with this, the shifting that I had grown used to also started to change. Instead of moving along a predetermined path, it felt more like I was moving through nothing! Not caring for the floor of the world I knew and moving through it on a new axis of height and seeing the world around me with renewed vision!

Witnessing all this was close to overwhelming as the force bringing me through the ring started to a close and I felt myself ”Pop!” out of the other end of the SMH and nearly couldn’t believe what I was seeing.

It's beautiful, Light! I found you again!

Without even knowing I had lost it.

Looking down at me was Light! Although in a weirder shape than I imagined them to be. With a round and spherical top and two circles in it with a cylinder leading down to a curved rectangle with two other spheres. All covered with some flowing rectangles and triangles. Followed by some other things known as stars behind them, looks like thats what the glowing Shperes were, Stars!

“What have you done?”

I looked at Light, mildly confused. Until I noticed them looking up at SMH behind me.

“Oh that,” looking back to Light who seemed to be glowing a little brighter now - wonder why that is? - “It’s Super Massive Hole!” Looking up at Light with enthusiasm at what I had accomplished and seeing if they would be impressed.

It didn’t seem like it, in fact, I would say they were very mildly angry at me.

“Did I do something wrong?” I asked hovering a little higher to meet the top sphere called a head and meeting their eyes.

“Very much something is wrong. All of my Stars are on a collison course to be sucked up by your… Hole.” They looked very annoyed more than anything now, but it was still made aware at how tight the atmosphere was as a Star slowly floated by us and towards my SMH.

“Sorry… I tried making something, and this happened.”

“Can you destroy it?”

This had me reeling back in shock at the sudden and extremely serious question on if I would destroy something I had tried to make. That would be as if asking to destroy a third of Light’s Stars based on the ratio between us in losses.

Obviously I declined which didn’t seem to help Light’s mood in the slightest. At first they berated me on the consequences of my actions and how they would turn out worse for others than just myself. But I knew that they just wanted me to stop destroying their Stars.

Which is fair, but there was no way in all of me that I would give up SMH. Not in all that I exist. Which I told Light, but that didn’t seem to sit right with them and said, “If you won’t I will.”

After they started floating closer to SMH. I wouldn’t stand by after all.

I really wish Light wasn’t here.
