Then one day something changed with star.
The star began to disintegrate, slowly and almost not noticeably, the star had shrunk.
But it seemed that the more the star shrunk, the stronger the heat that it gave off.
Eventually, after about ten years, the heat that the star gave off reached an astounding three hundred degrees Celsius.
At the beginning of this experience, possibly hundred to maybe a thousand years ago, Alex would have instantly melted from this level of heat. But after years of closeness to the star and the absorbance of its energy and heat, Alex was easily able to stand the heat.
Then approximately, two thousand years later the heat that the star gave off reached five thousand degrees.
