Universal Tortoise

 There is a regular raven in the neighborhood, and is seen only preceding a black outdoor pet cat. The connection between the animals is none, except turning to stone when for a brief moment the sun flickered. Baffling the surviving scientists of the non-rock inhabitants of the Earth’s population; learning that reversal is impossible it would seem. Even chipping at the new statues stone bodies results in the release of an acidic blue liquid— which when tested seems to be a sort of semen high in pH content— which eats away rapidly at organic material. 

Some months later a meteorite with a core of antimatter crashes and it is learned by touching a bit to one of the sun’s statues, that it would reverse the freeze… 

It’s at the precipice of reviving each person until the core was suddenly dropped and everything went to instant white to nothing but a few million beings made of pure antimatter where a planet once spun in orbit. They drifted through the solar system until eventually where Pluto sits at its cold distance. Landing, the people melted into the planetoid, merging with it as it hatched like an egg into a tortoise. 

After some millennia of roaming around the cosmos the tortoise snacks on an underripe brown dwarf; getting ill and then vomiting out a concentrated beam of unimaginably hot intergalactic material. This then ripped the tortoise in half as it expanded in all directions, hitting the borders of the universe causing the structure to buckle then swiftly collapse like a tape measuring tool snapping back into unimaginably cramped singularity: the glass eye of a fox.
