there was nothing
there was nothing but shadow and only darkness
and water and the great god
everything was dead
there was nothing
nothing at all
no light, no life, no movement, no breath
there were quantum fluctuations
the universe was a black egg where heaven and earth were mixed together
there was an explosion
there was an immense unit of energy
a dark ocean washed up on the shores of nothingness and licked the edges of the night
there was anum
and he rested on nothing
we were born from the centuries oceans
the fabric of space time unfurled
the atoms were formed
a great calm floated over the oceans
everything was still
there was no beginning
and in the void the oldest of the old gods were formed
the world had no time
no shape
no life except a line that creates earth
the world had many flaws
there was no broadland
only the white black blue silver and redness forming existence's crush
only the sky above, water, and marshland below
that drifted against the shores of life
no earth, no water, nothing
there was a single hill called nunne chaha
