Everyday the sun
would rise and the moon would set and everybody would wake up to a new
morning. Today was a special day in
October, for the sun did not rise and the moon did not set and everyone woke to
a full moon. During the night the sun
had mysteriously vanished and this inscrutable incident enervated the most
brilliant of minds . This caused
aberrant behavior throughout the globe.
Nevertheless there were a few vivacious individuals brave enough to find
out what happened.
They start their adventure by taking off
in a space shuttle destined for outer space.
As they reach orbit they witness the most amazing thing that any of them
have ever seen. They watched the sun
being sucked into nothing and something pushing it in. They change their course and follow the
sun. As they get there, they realize
that they are also being pulled in along with the sun and that their decision
is at this point irrevocable. The funny thing was that the sun emanated no heat and
that the moon started to glow much brighter than normal. It turns out that the moon was now supplying
the earth with the heat that was needed to keep most happy. The sun, and both ships are now closed up in the
thing and are increasing their velocity as they head for some minuscule object
way in the distance.
The team of explorers decide to catch the
other ship but it is on the opposite side of the sun. It takes them a few days but they finally
reach the other ship. The only thing
that they cannot figure out is how to make contact with the other ship. They have exhausted every possibility and the
only thing they have done is wasted time.
They are floating in nothing, the scenery looks black and the only thing
that they can see are the sun, the other ship, and the thing that they are
flying towards. The ship surroundings
are so amazing that they would whet your imagination beyond belief. Nevertheless, they are anxious to reach it in
order to find out what it is. After
doing nothing for two days they finally receive some contact with the other
ship via Morse code. Using this to talk,
they establish audio communication.
Talking for a few hours they realize that both sides have no idea where
they are headed. The only instructions
that the other ship had received, were to push the sun into the hole and wait
till they reach the end of the tunnel.
They know that it will take them three weeks to reach their
destination. Both ships have joined and
all of the crew members have become friends.
They party every night and have a ball, for they have nothing else to do
but enjoy themselves. The ships are full
of interesting anecdotes and emaciated people, for partying nonstop takes a lot
out of someone.
They finally reach the object and find
that it is an island and that they have to deliver the sun to the center of the
island. There is a controversy between the two ships and both sides debate
whether to continue onward or to turn around and try to find a way back. The crew sent from earth convinced everyone
to continue so that they could find out what was going on. They tie the sun up to a machine very tight
and they begin the long haul. Levity has
spread throughout all of the people and everyone begins to make jokes about
their mishap. Days roll by and they haven't made as much progress as they
expected. Their supplies are running low
so they have a shortage of food and water.
During the next few days the morale has picked up because they now have
their destination in sight. Everyone
begins to hum euphonious melodies and the people who had contempt for the rest
now realize how pathetic they were and changed their attitudes. Time seemed to fly by very quickly now and
before they realize it they are within a few miles of the huge complex that
they have been hoping to reach for weeks now.
The once amiable crew has now become an irascible one.
They set down the sun and wait anxiously
to see what happens next. A human comes
from within the complex and thanks everyone for making the journey. He sees a few people that are unexpected,
these were the members of the crew sent out to uncover the mystery. The man invites everyone inside. He starts by giving everyone a hardy meal,
shower and rest from their long journey. When everyone wakes up they realize
that their host has disappeared and they are trapped inside of the house. The crew from earth begins to search the
building, but after hours of searching come up with nothing but a set of
Christmas lights. They have all that
they need to survive forever so all day everyday for two weeks they ponder
their ideas. Many suggested that the sun
was part of a plan to destroy the universe.
Another suggested that people from other parts of the universe were
trying to take over. The crew realized
that their host was really a human and that the sun had something to do with
the earth and its people directly. The
other ideas were based on erroneous assumptions but the third was based on
facts and clear thinking so must be right,
therefore they concentrated on this.
The host returned after three weeks and
when he arrived he was bombarded by questions and more questions from all of the crew. He told everyone to calm down and he began to
explain what the whole thing was about.
They asked about the lights that they had found and he ignored this and
continued on with his explanation. He
told them that the sun was needed as a power source for something on the
earth. This only confused everyone even
more that they already were. Someone
yelled out that they would be used for the lighting of the Christmas
lights. This idea made sense so everyone
accepted this without confirming it with the host. The host then got everyone's attention and
told them that they were wrong. But
before he could tell them the real truth he had to inform them that they would
never be returning and that they would work for his for many many more
years. That was when they were told that
the sun was needed for Santa's sleigh because his reindeer were getting old. Yes, even the young and rambunctious Ruldolph.
