[ wp ] Myths tell us where things come from ( ex . echoes are from Echo , a person cursed to repeat what others said ) . Write a mythological origin story for a common modern object .

Long ago, there was an Idea. This Idea was beheld by the gods, and the gods knew it for what it was. They bound the Idea beneath the earth, in the sky, and beyond the horizon. 
 
 Thousands of lifetimes passed. Humans rose. The gods knew that the humans could, and would, tear down their world for that which was beheld in the Idea. The humans could feel the Idea, held beyond the walls of their world, and slowly pushed toward a world that could hold the Idea in solid form. 
 
 They chained monstrosities, and flesh-smiths beat the monstrosities into a form that could be controlled. The humans commanded the grass itself to rend material from the earth, that they could sacrifice the grasses to creating but two pieces of the Idea, an artificial skin and a fiery, golden blood. They tore apart plants born of poison to calm the fiery blood, and annihilated pieces of the world that their beaten monstrosities could thrive. They cultivated poisons to sow into the food leaked by the monstrosities, to better serve as a cornerstone of the Idea. The Idea lived. 
 
 Some humans fought back. They would gather in moots to suppress in each other the madness given by the Idea. Some snuck in the dead of night to exert their strength over the resting monstrosities, the source of the two greatest parts of the Idea, in the only way they could. Nothing could stop the Idea that had gained form. Every single day, millions upon millions of times, the prayer that strengthened the Idea-made-real was uttered: `` That'll be one cheeseburger. Would you like fries with that?''
