Self-destructive reality, again

Part 1:
    An infinite being died. It floated through nothing. The corpse slowly rotting. Its blood was time. Its flesh was space. Universes bubbled from skin. New life arose inside. The universes had power. Some more than others. The life evolved. The life ventured continents. The life ventured planets. The life ventured stars. The life ventures universes. Then It became selfish. It life sought power. Grand empires were built. Empires spanning the multiverse. Empires controlled by warlords. Their power was godlike. Their greed was insatiable. Their mutual hatred, fiery. One warlord was Ygadle. Ygadle built a machine. The machine could rejuvenate. It was big. It was powerful. It was feared. Ygadle would conquer everything. Other warlords teamed up. A great siege happened. Ygadle fell. The warlords still fought. They wanted the machine. The war waged on. Epoch after epoch passed. Warlord after warlord fell. Finally, only one remained. Glthmir was his name. Glthmir now ruled everything. All reality was his. The people worshiped him. He activated the machine. Everyone was in suspense. The machine rejuvenated. Glthmir gained unimaginable power! The machine kept rejuvenating. The rotted god stirred. The people became panicked. Glthmir sat, horrified. Universes un-bubbled into skin. Time flowed into veins. Reality folded into life. The god revived. The corpse sustained life. The rot catalyzed existence. Without it, all perished. All history was lost. All culture was lost. Everything that had been. It was gone. The god wasn't aware. The god carried on.

Part 2:
    If I were to metagame this question, giving the answer I think my teacher would want instead of my own opinion, I would say that neither is more important. Though, to bare my soul for a second, I honestly prefer shorter sentences. Not four-words short, that was a nightmare, but short enough that I can still understand what's going on. The more add-ons and tangents added to a sentence, the more I forget what's going on or what the subject is. It feels like a bridge, with the periods as supports. If they're too far apart, the whole thing will collapse under its own weight. 
    However, despite personal taste, I recognize that both are required to have sufficiently varied writing. From reading the notes, they seem to be best used to contrast eachother.

They're Called Cell Phones Because The Phone is of Out Hot Cell Eat The Phone

     (The title is a reference, if you don't understand, don't worry about it.)      These two articles are a bit more linked than normal, as one is a direct response to the other. Though aside from the fact that they both talk about phones and are written in English, there aren't many comparisons I can make, they differ from each other quite severely.     First, and most obviously, their stances on cellphones are direct opposites. The one titled "Have Smartphones Destroyed A Generation?" Is, shockingly (not really,) thinks that the impact smartphones have on the youths is negative overall, whereas the response, "No, Smartphones are Not Destroying a Generation" thinks that this is not the case (another shocking revelation, I know)     There are also some more minor differences in format, for example, the response is much shorter than the paper it's responding to, which I appreciate greatly because my attention span is garbage. The source...

The tale of a self-destructive reality

Long long ago, before the dawn of time and space, a being of unfathomable scale and power took its last breath, its limp body sinking through the surrounding void, veins bleeding time and body rotting into universes, but some universes were made of flesh that wasn't so decayed, that was fresh enough that it still had some of that infinite power that every primordial scavenger sought to harness, and harness they did, creating vast inter-universal empires headed by warlords wielding god-like power, who hoarded their territories like raccoons, if raccoons were so inclined to hold territory, but some raccoons are more ambitious than others, and warlords were no different, as one of them, Ygadle, had a scheme, by using their near-infinite power, they could repurpose one of their universes into a device known as the Eternity Engine, a hyperspherical construct, quadrillions of light years in diameter, with the capability of pumping the temporal blood back into the corpse from which all re...

The Real Killer Whale Was the Friends We Made Along the Way.

     1: Morality is a mostly human-made invention to categorize actions and behaviors of other humans as either desirable (good) or undesirable (bad). Morality is not a binary, obviously there's a lot of grey area, in fact, most of it is grey-area, but my larger point is that ascribing it to stuff that isn't human gets messy. Is a lion "bad" for eating an elk? Is water "good" for hydrating us? Is lightning "a douche" for turning my hotdog into ash? The answer to all of these is, probably, no.      This was a longwinded way of saying that I don't think Tilikum was the villain in this situation. Were they the victim? Broadly speaking, yes. SeaWorld, famously, is a factory for marine-mammal misery, and if the article is anything to go by, Sealand was basically the equivalent of orca hell, “If you pen killer whales in a small steel tank, you are imposing an extreme level of sensory deprivation on them,” .     The villain of this story, in my op...
