For entire ages was Atlas bearing all the weight of the world on his back. Never in that eternity had Atlas complained: the titans are something else after all.
However, for an instant that might as well have been endless, Atlas wavered. He felt as old and tired as a titan can feel. And he decided to let go of the blue planet’s burden.
There was not a single disaster, not even one. The Earth kept on being where it must. In an invisible, impossible balance, the planet swayed in the gravity currents while keeping its distance with all the other celestial bodies.
And that’s how Physics and the rest of the laws of men killed one by one all the gods from Olympus.
