The body of the great swan tears the very heavens; it whispers and grasps at us. At the very tip of its wingspan something flinches.

Author's Notes

The constellation Cygnus is associated with several figures, like Zeus (who transformed himself into a swan) and other mythical figures who were transformed into swans (Orpheus and plentiful guys named Cygnus). It's also considered one end of the Great Rift: a dark band of cosmic dust that spans much of our night sky. One of the first radio galaxies we discovered was in the Cygnus region, and it is one of the closest sources of radio waves. As for our flinching foe, in the northwest of Cygnus, the Fawaris side, is the blinking planetary nebula.

I would like to fold this note into a tiny paper swan and very delicately eat it. 10/10 will read again.

Your ability to hook people with just a few sentences is scarily impressive.

Explore the dark and mysterious Inferncenem, the bright and wonderful Caelumen, the dark but magical Ysteria, the vibrant and bustling Auxul or the world of contrasts Mytharae!   Have a good one!   Join the Discord and chat with like-minded people!

I love how this is written. Just the right amount of creepy (even though there is a scientific explanation).
