Fueling a Stellar Celebration with Milky Way Munchies

Orion’s dancing with the stars

Random Word Drabble Challenge Day 47 Word Is Constellate.

Since drabbles are so short, please remain on the page for at least 30 seconds.

Was the Big Bang just the stars deciding to throw a celestial party?

Did their constellate occur by creating intricate shapes like a cosmic game of connect-the-dots?

I wonder if they argued about who was the center of attention and who was the twinkling bystander.

“Hey Big Dipper, why don’t you let the little fella do some of the dipping once in a while?”

“Hey Orion, stop hogging all the spotlight!”

Meanwhile, poor Pluto is still stuck in the cosmic doghouse without planetary status.

Let’s hope the Milky Way doesn’t run out of snacks for this constellate shindig!
