The Citadel shouldn’t exist
not morally, but physically
towers upon towers of structures in space
constantly needing rebuilding and maintenance
just the right distance from the biggest wormhole in the galaxy
that somehow makes its orbit stable
[for now]
it’s been around for a thousand years now
and some towers have more modern technology
than others, and still others have weird amalgamations
of the old and the new,
and even more feel like they’re still standing
still resistant to the vacuum of space
through a hope and a prayer
and maybe some sort of space magic
we don’t yet understand
but The Citadel still stands
and it really shouldn’t, if you think about it
but no one thinks about it too long
because once you do, you wonder if it should exist at all
and once you wonder, you wonder if you made it all up
and it actually doesn’t
