What Is This

At first glance, it resembled a silver kudzu basket. The light filtering through its intricately woven mesh hinted at a cage of stars.

People speculated. It was a mirror reflecting the abyss of the universe, a toy from the future caught in the rift of time and space, a weapon secretly crafted by the powerful, a god that appeared to judge us. Perhaps, the kudzu basket was actually “all of these.”

Decades, even centuries passed. Still, no one knows what it is. It just exists there, quietly emitting its light.
