At the outset there were two amorphous blobs:
one was the colour of blood,
and the other the colour of ice.
The blobs also happened to diverge in their approach:
the blood liked to play in the mud,
while the ice was more precise.
When conditions were conducive,
blob-blob became connected via the binding sites on their receptors.
Blobs are contact inhibiting creatures,
meaning they are by nature careful not to outgrow one another,
meticulously certain not to irrevocably invade each other’s space.
Despite the precautionary measures programmed into them,
the blobs spent so much time connected as a complex that they began accidentally to merge into one.
The merging was apparent first only at their edges,
at the fringes of their blob shapes.
But once it began there was no stopping it.
It was not long before their receptors snapped off due to the constant pressure placed on them.
Thus,
blob-blob became totally connected along their bare surfaces.
The blobs felt complete.
There was a world and more in that single complex.
It was their secret.
Now the blobs noticed something:
they were no longer their original colours (one red and one blue).
Instead,
one was purple and the other one was too.
As all good things do,
their intense togetherness came to an end.
It was a release factor that did it.
A package containing this terminating protein came in the mail.
In a natural trajectory of events,
the blobs suddenly found signal sequences on themselves.
Purple and purple knew where they had to go,
and what they had to do.
Once apart,
it was strange for the blobs,
relearning how to be red and blue.
When alone,
blob 1 and blob 2 secretly reverted to the memory of their shared purple happiness.
Soon their purpose will be fulfilled and they will be together again;
completely connected and completely at peace.
