Slingshot !

What the astronomer says:
Astro-physicist recorded 16 stars left Milkyway Galaxy, since 2003. The way it happens, a binary star system circling the massive black hole in Milyway galaxy. The hole which has about 3.7 million time the mass of our Sun. A binary star is two stars interconnected by gravity attraction_repulsion in one orbit. One of those stars get to close to the hole and get swallowed. Change in gravity field between both creates an interaction, a repulsion for other star in the binary and got kicked like a slingshot at a speed of millions of miles per hour. The interact is so great because the act of attraction was as strong or stronger. In that speed the Mikyway galaxy can not keep the runaway star within its influence zone and it leaves. OK so far so good. It makes perfect sense. For someone normal the story will end there. For me in the other hand I stop reading the rest of the article, I close the book and my mind flies. And I make my own version:

Those two stars were like twins. They spent billions of years together, got used to each other. They seen all the good and bad together, happy days, sad days, turbulent days and years, calm days and years. They can not imagine their lives separate from each other.

One day, while they were playing together, playing hide and seek, singing, dancing, burning energy and catch some, everything looks normal. It seems like the happy day is not going to end, because they are destined together, they were born in one day and die in one day and untill than only thing they have is endless fun.

A monster is waiting patiently, like a tiger in a jungle, invisible. Doesn't make a move for years. So none of them suspect anything fishy or unusual. Twin sisters still giggling and dancing. In the height of their fun, the monster open its mouth and swallow the twin that came too close but still in her own backyard.
The surviving twin sister watches all that in disbelieve. She is shocked, she can't believe what just happened. Her heart suddenly empty. All the happy times and the hopes came to a sudden and abrupt end.
First from the unprecedented fear that threatens her own survival, than from the deep sorrow that over comes her, she runs away with a screaming speed. Away from everything. She doesn't have a family or doesn't want anything to do with them. The whole mighty Milkyway Galaxy which has billions of stars in his disposal, watched with indifference, and did nothing to defend her sister or save her. Its not going to do anything when she needs help. Now that she got the tremendous energy to run away and no one can stop her, she better use it. She will never get that chance again. They will trick her again. They will tell her we are one big happy family. Which she knows are just words and doesn't have any real meaning. She runs with a speed that even light can not catch her. She runs to an uncertain future. Where there is going to be no shining stars around her to give her extra light and warm her up. But she decided she rather be alone than living for false hopes. She runs because that's what she wants and not what she been told. She knows now, no one will ever tell you the truth, you have to find it for yourself, even if it is too late.
Well thats the way I read anything, thats the way my mind works. I know its not normal. And when someone has an abnormal mind they call him/her crazy. Like that star, I rather be crazy and won't trade a moment of it for a lifetime of sanity
