Rock [CM1145 #3] (Far to near, near to far method)

The sun slowly rises and a humid wind blows the rustling leaves of an old maple tree. A squirrel runs down the length of the trunk chasing a monarch butterfly. The butterfly flutters away from the tree and floats calmly in the wind. Below the graceful butterfly sits a pouty beagle. The plump, lazy dog sits pathetically on the side of the road waiting for someone to acknowledge his presence. He stands and begins to walk across the street towards his home. As he crosses the street, a car nearly hits him and he trips over a rock.

The rock is a pale lavender, with a hint of a sparkle. It landed with a hard thud, and bounced across the sidewalk until it stopped on the side of the street. It fell from directly over head, between the roofs of two apartment buildings. Through the clouds and beyond the gloomy shine of the moon. Beyond Mars and the rings of Saturn, through the boundries of the Milky Way. It launched at a speed greater than the speed of sound from the sling shot of a tiny green boy.

The boy lived on the planet Lavender in the galaxy Aquatamalia, where all the little green people live in harmony. Aquatamalia is one of the largest galaxies in the Universe, only about 4.5 billion light years away from The Milky Way. The Universe which is filled with millions of different Galaxies, trillions of planets, and an infinite amount of stars.

Meteor's travel through these unknown boundaries of space, and for all we know, they could have started as simply as the lavender rock launched by the tiny green boy on the planet lavender.
