The little star was sad. Quantum didn't believe in it, and that means a lot to a star. Without quantum you can't have fission, and without fission a star is nothing.

The thing was, the star was alone. It was a few billion light years to the nearest gallery. It was so lonely it would put up with a name like NGC 9738 just to have an astronomer dream of it.

A planet would be worth its weight in god.

Eventually the star got so heavy-hearted that it collapsed into blackness. Friendships with spaghetti don't last long, but nor do unobservèd stars.
I wrote very late last night. Something inspired me but I can't remember what.

If you think you've found a typo in the third paragraph, think about it carefully.

Probably my shortest story in years.

Nice. I like the way you've captured the scientific side of the matter.
But then again, personifying the star isn't very scientific in itself.
Nice work.
:D
