In the dream, you are running, fleeing. The sky hangs grey and low. The ground is dull and rocky, simply there. The wind is furtive and blustery, coming in wet bursts, whistling in the trees' leaves. It's going to rain.

	~~: ''You trip~~. ~~You fall~~. ~~You~~ are ~~down, underground~~. ~~A passage~~, ~~a tall shaft above~~, ~~open to the sky~~, ~~shows little light from so far.

They are hunting you. They have always been hunting you, and you don't remember any point in which they haven't been hunting you, and now they are getting closer. Dull leaves shift underfoot, muffling you footfalls, but it doesn't matter.

	~~: ''Down here, though, the walls are already wet. Seeping moisture hints at life within the ground, of strangeness, of alien forces silently at work, always changing~~. You ~~cannot linger~~.

You fall. You are down, underground. A passage, a tall shaft above, open to the sky, shows little light from so far. The first raindrops fall wet and heavy, but only from time to time, only on one side, thrown by the wind above.

	~~: ''"I'm sorry~~,~~" you tell~~ the ~~car~~, ~~"But I can't stop~~. ~~I need~~ to ~~keep moving~~. ~~The moment I stop~~, ~~everything goes horribly wrong~~ and the ~~trolls find me~~, ~~so I need~~ to ~~keep moving~~, ~~okay~~?"		Down here, though, the walls are already wet. Seeping moisture hints at life within the ground, of strangeness, of alien forces silently at work, always changing. You cannot linger. You have to run. So you do, and the walls run with you. You run, and the walls change, widening the corridor, opening out into a grand cavern. Further on, jagged rock gives way to strange formations, pillars and columns, almost too precise, but right here, in front of you, is a car, some ancient Soviet model, poking its hood from the wall. It grins at you, all bumper and headlights, and says, "Whaddya know about that?"

	~~: ''~~"I ~~won~~'~~t ask him~~," the car ~~replies~~, ~~withdrawing back into~~ the ~~wall.~~		"I'm sorry," you tell the car, "But I can't stop. I need to keep moving. The moment I stop, everything goes horribly wrong and the trolls find me, so I need to keep moving, okay?"

	The universe has been destroyed. Only ~~nothing and approximately~~ 3.8 billion ~~sphinxes (large~~ winged ~~cats) remain~~, forming a moon-sized ~~wad around two survivors, BERTRAM and CORALINE, who are nestled in a small pocket in the middle~~ of ~~the lot~~.		''After. The Void. The Nothing. The universe of Arling Tor has been destroyed. Only sphinxes remain, 3.8 billion winged cat creatures, hungry, immortal, lost. They barely move, lingering, hovering, balling together, forming a nearly solid moon-sized sphere of roiling cat matter. They do not hurtle.

	~~The sphinxes are all purring very loudly~~, ~~and occasionally rearranging themselves amidst horrible roiling~~.		''Gaze, sweetling, upon the sheer impossibility.

	~~One~~ of ~~them drops onto~~ Coraline~~'s head~~, ~~making her look a bit like Batman~~.		''Instantiate. The centre. A pocket, not of air, but of space. In it are two humans, or at least entities who had once been human. Bertram is in grey, dark and concealing, unchanged from his ancient role of Voice. Coraline is in blue, light and summery. They are the same. They are nothing alike. Together, they form something else entirely, but not. She is no longer the Hand.

	~~BERTRAM~~		''Cat eyes stare at them from all sides. Cat noses crinkle. Cat butts flash.
	~~Good job~~.

	~~Coraline glares at him from under~~ the ~~sphinx hat~~. ~~The sphinx just sort of stares vaguely~~, ~~looking like a perfectly normal cat~~.		''They speak over the purring, too loud to hear, but to their ears, meaningless. "Good job," Bertram says.

	~~BERTRAM~~		''A sphinx drops onto Coraline's head, seemingly unplanned, but impeccable, draping itself over her face like a deep cowl. Its eyes replace her own. Together, they look like Batman, and together they glare at him unimpressedly.
	Really, I'm impressed. I did not expect that when we destroyed the entire universe, this would happen.
