And thus, Molly laid dormant, her form rendered turgid and firm as she rested, listlessly being carried along by the ebbs and flows of the cosmos.
For a while, as her prone body found itself being carried to and fro, there were some stray asteroids that ended up floating around her, occasionally making impact and carrying along with them new microbes that were able to find sustenance in the chemical processes that mysteriously kept her alive.
Molly was still there.
After 5 million years, there were entire solar systems that being carried around in her orbit, rotating all around her from the top of her head to the tip of her feet. At this point, long years of gravitational forces had contorted her body into a spherical shape, arms and legs tucked tightly in on themselves. It was like she was in the womb again.
Molly was still there
After 1 billion years, the microbes that were able to live off of the sudsiest nutrients provided by her skin became advanced, space-faring races, producing entire civilizations that rose and fell with time, with countless tales of war and triumph to be told.
Molly was still there.
Entropy continued. The galaxies drifted away, further and further, dark energies hurtling away from one another ever faster. Forces that once bound the universe ever so tightly began to weaken, cosmic dust spearing ever further away.
Molly was still there.
Eventually, after 2.9 trillion years, all was darkness.
Whatever stars were once there had long spread too far to even be seen. All that was left was Molly, and whatever stray celestial objects were still within her orbit.
By the time Molly would wake from her eternal sleep, there would be nothing left.
No stars.
No galaxies.
Nothing.
Just emptiness.
A blank canvas.
