second time puzzled.

Daybreak was not a regular event in planet mersus. As it charts along its orbit through heavenly space-time, the event marks a departure in the evolutionary progress of many life-forms and for a good many others the event brings sudden extinction. As the star rays shine across dark side side of the planet, the light of a thousand suns brings a protozimmer back to its animated self; the glow all but managing to pierce its vestigial eyes long blinded by the dark ages. Yet, those eyes could feel the glow that turned the tangible to the visible. It fritters about sensing danger anticipating the unthinkable, seeking the safety of darkness, again. In an instant all hell breaks lose. Breathing in all the atmospheric helium, it emits a shriek that splits helium to puffs of hydrogen and I awake, sneezing, to find myself on a monday morning again- my mother dusting the bed.
