How will it come? Artifacts undo themselves, people fade from photos, the Rosetta Stone un-writes itself, ancient silks unravel? All at once, no sound, no light, simply instant difference? The new world overlaying our world, a layer of paint upon paint? Will our supposedly indestructible souls exist if we were never born?
The rioting has been undignified. I still believe in dignity and bravery, even with an erasable now. I won’t miss the things I’ve lost and never had. I just wish I could read the story to the very end.
