Stars... I think that was the name....

I think this short story was very interesting altho it was prety hard to comprehend what was going on and what exactly his reason/meaning behind what he was saying. But it was good regardless of the dificult nature of the story.

One of the few things that I had to think about was at the very end of the story, and i deciphered it as the star that died and wiped out the civilization that used to live there was the start that lead the 3 wise men to bethlaham to bring baby Jesus their gifts.

Pages 1-40

I am currently reading "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" By Douglas Adams. So far in the book the main character Arthur Dent's house is on the brink of being destroyed until he quickly jumped in front of the bulldozer preventing the crew from recking his house. But as they say all good plans have their flaws, and Arthur's friend Ford Prefect showed up and lured him away from his house with the promise of beer and that they would not destroy his house while he was gone. After downing his third pint he heard a loud crash and realized it was his house that was being demolished and quickly raced out of the bar to find his house reduced to rubble and Mr. Prossen staring blankly into the sky at which Arthur eventually came to realized was giant galactic "bulldozers" which has come to wreck his home (earth).
