What if our physics was very different? What if some processes won’t have immediate reaction? What if we had some time to prepare before the worst happens?
I hit a porcelain vase so it fell on a concrete floor, and left lying unbroken.
‘Ouch, I thought that’s my end!’ exclaims the vase.
‘Oh no, no, not the end! Look, not a single crack you have! As new as before!’ I’d reply with the relief.
‘Yeah, I’m still strong and can handle a lot’ the vase would agree. ‘I’d be here for a long ti—’
Crack. It’s shattered in pieces.
At least we had some time to get ready for the effect. To say our final good-byes at least.
What if we actually could do something to change the effect? What if the vase would be taken off the floor, will it stay as good as new indeed?
I wish we had at least that.
Dedicated to every single soul shattered with the tragedy.
