We worked as a team. A huge team of scientists and builders like me.<\/p>\n

No one had built a star before. We were going to be the first.<\/p>\n

How many angels can dance on the head of a pin? We know now. We built very special pins and we saw things that no one had ever seen before. The scientists knew how to make these pins. They were needed to help build the star.<\/p>\n

It took years of work. When it was finished we all crowded together to get a look. The most important scientist was there. He turned the switch. We had made the very first star.<\/p>\n

We’re all retired now. We still like to talk about the old days when we built the star. Especially when our grandchildren visit. We wish they’d visit more often. We tell them how we built the star.<\/p>\n

“No, not that one. We made the other star. The star that kills.”<\/p>\n
