I’m still going with the Marooned Space Alien theory.
It’s more colorful.
Well that was several years later. Before the meteorite hit in the dry still desert all my friends and I were just free floating subatomic particles. Suddenly we began to develop molecular structure and we were thankful for that. First we ate dust but in time we had dirt to eat. Mud followed and that was a real treat.
We didn’t have much but we were thankful for what we had. We knew many who had less and we shared as much as we could. In time we all were able to divide our cells and prosper.
