lone planet, lone star
50 million light years from anything
no wonder they developed

a solitary lifestyle
and sun worship

although
the Cult of Nullity
enjoyed widespread popularity
until every adherent
who could be found
was dispersed to the winds

The cult was suppressed
but continued  to resurface
through the dark and lonely years
centuries
millennia
until the star
cast off its outer portions
and vaporized the planet

this was noted
in distant galaxies
millions of years later
