The universe sighed, crumpled another page, and tossed it into an invisible bin. "No," it muttered. "Let's try humanity again." Draft number 8,431 had ended because someone thought wrestling an alligator sounded entertaining. Draft 12,908 was abandoned after pineapple somehow found its way onto pizza. Draft 21,004 lasted longer, right until people invented alarm clocks only to hit the snooze button five times every morning. "Honestly," the universe groaned, rubbing its temples, "I gave them mountains, oceans, sunsets, and an entire galaxy to explore, yet they're arguing with strangers on the internet about whether cereal is soup." It stared at the blinking cursor for a long moment before typing a single sentence: 𝘏𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨... 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘱 𝘸𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵. Then, with a reluctant smile, it began the next draft.
