Something has gone very wrong.
With us?
Cosmically, I think. On the other side of the universe. Some death-ray has finally reached us. Some despair ray. Some forcefield of utter horror.
Why us?
Oh, it’s everyone. They’re just in denial.
A cosmic catastrophe. A new kind of radiation, or something, that reveals itself in despair stroke horror.
So we’re astronomers.
Of sorts.
We’re cosmologists.
Of a weird kind.
We’re astronomers.
In a certain sense.
Amazing.
We’re in tune. We’re musicologists. We’re hearing the disharmony of the fucking spheres.
