Tweet story by @MissionArtist    WINTER SOLSTICE Dear Sun, how low can you go? Please come back! Sun: Missed me, did ya? OK, let me turn this thing around. I'll be back! Earth: Silly old Sun, the humans know it isn't YOU that's moving, it's ME! Sun: Oh, when did they finally catch on? Earth: Not too long ago Sun: Well, it was fun while it lasted, all 4.5 billion years. It seemed like Earth creatures barely noticed anything until humans came along.   Earth: You probably miss sun-worship. Those were your glory days. Sun: Actually I was appalled at their rituals. But I must confess I was in love with several Egyptian priestesses of Ra as they called me, like Anck Su Namun.   Earth: Yes, I remember her. Wasn't she Miss Heliopolis 2000 BC? Sun: Yes, she really loved me, too. But too late now. Earth: She might still show up someday - better read ETERNITY EXPRESS.   As tweeted by @MissionArtist on the winter solstice, Dec. 21, 2013
