Soon, I changed into my night clothes and climbed into bed, trying to fall asleep. But I didn't because I was too excited. I reached for the book and opened it again.

As full darkness settled over the city and the street below grew quiet, I closed the notebook and held it against my chest for a moment. I didn't know what tomorrow would bring. I didn't know how long *temporary* would last, or what I would find on the other side of this particular unraveling. But tonight, I was here. Alone in a room I had chosen.

Marco understood with terrifying clarity that for the rest of his natural life, he would never be able to move past this loss. (The End)

Then, at the end of the collapsing crystal corridor, a massive black shadow began to crawl upward, carrying an aroma even sharper than ozone, the scent of burnt meat that had already been served.

"Just this. Whatever this becomes when it does not have to exist in the middle of everything trying to end it."
