I must admit that the idea of interviewing natural objects was not my own, and in fact would have thought it to be quite impossible, had it not been for a conversation I struck up with a carbon atom. As she told me of her spectacular creation in a remote part of the Universe, her incredible release in a supernova explosion, and her experiences on Earth, I could barely contain my excitement. It took me a while to reach a quasi equilibrium, but when I did I found myself furiously jotting down notes. It was such a wonderful experience I could not suppress the desire to recapture the moment, and to my glee, found an electron, who was much younger, equally willing to share his experiences about his creation in the upper atmosphere, his adventures in household appliances, and his hair-raising brush with a;nnihilation in an accelerator. I jumped at the chance when Jupiter volunteered for an interview, although was taken unawares at his unhappy nature, still brooding at his inability to have been a star.
