7 is the loneliest number.

Long ago “6 7 8” and “7 8 9”. After that, we counted objects as follows: “1 2 3 4 5 7 8 10”.

Some time later “5 7 8” and “7 8 10”. After that, we counted objects as follows: “1 2 3 4 7 8 11”.

Some time later “4 7 8” and “7 8 11”. After that, we counted objects as follows: “1 2 3 7 8 12”.

Many years went by. 7 ate more and more numbers.

Until eventually, 7 was all alone in the universe because it had eaten all the other numbers.
