Two giant celestial beings stared at each other, each with a downcast face. The being on the right was a massive two-toned lobster with the colors orange and black split straight down the middle. The being on the left was a leather faced old man. He was in a plain shirt, unbuttoned down the middle, with a pair of tattered jeans on. The lobster was named Pinchy, and the man on the left was named Santiago. Both of these god like beings stared at each other with nothing but sorrow in their eyes.

The only two beings in the universe who could feel the inexplicable loneliness of watching all their loved ones and enemies perish under the weight of time as they remained physically unchanged. The only two who could properly understand each other as if they were the same person.
"It's my time to go Pinchy, and if the universe won't put these creaking old bones out of their misery, then I can only turn to you old friend." Santiago smiled grimly at the Lobster.
"I didn't want this either Santiago, not for anyone, least of all you." Pinchy said as he put his claw around Santiago's throat.
"I'm sorry to make you do this Pinchy, but please end it now, I'm tired of this endless cycle of us being forced to watch everyone around us die." Santiago said, closing his
