Before there was everything, there was a dot.
It got bored of being nothing and exploded into a universe.
Put a dot between two numbers and they stop being polite.
The dot decides.
This is a sentence.
A dot ends it. It also gives the next one permission to exist.

Just dots, pretending very convincingly to be a face.
Almost everything solid around you is mostly empty space.
Wrapped around a very small dot.
Every star was once just gas, minding its own business.
