“Ever since I can remember, I’ve had this recurring dream in which a highly idealized version of our world is rubbed out by a crushing expanse of matter, which begins as a speck but goes on – expanding. This happens almost instantly, and then I wake up – feeling somehow responsible. When I awoke this morning that feeling was gone. In it’s place was nothingness.”
