Boundless stars stretched across the sky.
In the deathly darkness, a Neutron Star spun at a speed impossible to track with the naked eye.
It measured only a few dozen kilometers across, yet held the entire mass of a collapsed star. Its gravity was so terrifying that even light bent as it passed.

He had done too many things that defied all reason.
