A Universe of Wonders

[Tomtomrawr]

The building stopped creaking. The winds outside, which must have been travelling over three hundred miles per hour, were barely audible. More like a gentle gust. The tornadoes whirled on through what remained of the city, even the stronger buildings now succumbing to the inevitable collapse.

The laws of physics themselves changed outside the room. Pieces of debris floated and were the toys of the twisters which hurled them around in the sky from one whirlwind to the next, like a game of tennis across the landscape. The ground itself began to break up as far as the eye could see, the entire planet beginning to implode in on itself. These events Axel could witness, the building he stood in was safe from it all for his mind did not want to destroy itself.

Suddenly, silence. The crowds stopped screaming. The wind stopped gusting. The spectacle outside was on mute.

'I had my suspicions,' he lied. The world had seemed so perfect, down to every detail. Except... he remembered nothing, until he found himself in front of a cheering crowd.

'I know when you're lying, Doctor,' the man replied. Axel moved to the glass wall to observe the destruction, and the man stood next to him. A tear began to roll down Axel's face, which he quickly wiped away. No, he thought to himself. I am not a man of tears.

'How long?' He refused to look at the man, staring contently at the imploding planet below him.

'Hmm?'

'How long... have I been here?'

'Judging from your muscle degeneration.' The man ended the sentence. Perhaps, Axel thought, there were emotions he was trying to overcome? He doubted this first assumption.

'How long!?' Axel shouted, losing his temper. He kept his arms rigidly behind his back as he observed what was left outside.

'Eighteen... years.'

Axel remained silent, but in his mind he was screaming. Cursing. Hating. This showed itself outside, as planet New Berlin imploded and disappeared. The building now floated through darkness. No objects, no distant stars. All that was outside was blackness.

Axel turned to face the man, who pushed his spectacles up the bridge of his nose once again.

'I am ready to leave.'
