Filler

In the beginning, there was the container. It contained nothing because this was the beginning. Keep up. After a time, the container was still empty, so it was put to a vote. It was unanimously decided that the container should be filled. Blood, feathers, and soot, were collected and mixed into a large bowl (a container in it's own right).

But there was a spill. And blood and feathers and soot to the ends of the universe.
