[ WP ] Write a new story about how the universe came into existence .

I never intended to create anything. 
 
 In the beginning, a little before the beginning to be accurate, it was just my father and me. All there had ever been was us and nothing. A very uncomplicated existence for very uncomplicated beings. Father and I spent eons with nothing, but then one day I made a mistake. 
 
 I found myself bored. 
 
 I wanted something new, something different. My desires bubbled through me and rippled through the nothing, disturbing it. Out of the nothing, something appeared. Balls of gas exploded with new light, matter rushed into voids, and the energy began pulsing away what was left of the nothing. My desires became a universe. 
 
 Father disappeared with the nothing. The only thing I had ever known, taken away because I was bored and made a mistake. Loss pounded through me as I surveyed this new universe. First I hated it for the pain it had caused me. However, time passed as it had never done before and my heart changed. 
 
 For a mistake it certainly was beautiful. And I felt pride when I realized several of the planets nestled around their stars were developing consciousness. One planet did distress me. A tiny little blue thing that developed later than the others. A late bloomer. I was shocked at the creatures that appeared eventually. They raises their voices and cried `` Father!'' into the void. 
 
 Father. I could be a father like the one I lost. These little things needed me. My universe needed me to be a father. 
 
 With a blink of my eye, centuries passed. Still they shouted out `` Father! ``, still they needed me. It was nice. They pretended I talked to them, they wrote down things I allegedly said, several even claimed to be my son. And still they called for me. 
 
 Finally I turned my attention from that planet. My universe was huge and a good father must divide his attention. It's a beautiful little mistake, this universe. 
 
 But I would snuff out all these lights if it meant I could have my father back.
