Once, in the dim recesses of a pocket-sized universe, there resided a giant. Not the kind carved from stories that teach kindness or heroism, but a gargantuan figure whose own bigness toppled towers and gagged on galaxies. He lay sprawled across dimensions, his breath a tempest across expected horizons.
The giant, who never bothered to name himself, found solace in the mundane. He collected ordinary moments like others collect stamps or spoons, keeping them wrapped in layers of cosmic fog. One day, whilst munching on a nebula (that he mistook for cotton candy), he pondered why the sun never dipped its toes in the ocean.
Why indeed? A question so simple that it baffled the wise owls and left the lunatics chuckling in their broom cupboards. The giant, however, didn’t laugh. He wept, or at least he tried, but laughter erupted from his colossal chest like a tidal wave crashing against a paper boat. "Never sway," he bellowed, "for the tides are liars and the sun a faithful lingerer."
And so, the question lingered. The giant gagged, not on food or drink, but on unanswered riddles and the taste of unfulfilled curiosity. His gargantuan tongue curled around stars and crushed meteors into powder, all in search of an answer that danced just beyond his grasp.
