Relic Radiation

Dreaming all my life,
I slept only between dreams.
Time to be awake.

The cosmic microwave background radiation permeated all things, a relic of the early universe. It was thought to be just static, white noise. It took many years of study before they realised that within the mists of distortion there had been hidden a code. Lifetimes later, that code was translated. They found fragments of lives, pieces of other worlds, a boundless source of knowledge. It was not clear if they were histories, prophecies, or simply stories. They did not know from where they came, but in every message, there was a name… ANAX.
