- George, wake up!
- Ungh... what time is it?
- I think about four am. You were having a nightmare.
- Mmmn.
- Hey, you're shaking. Come over here. It's alright. Do you want to tell me about it?
- Ann Coulter and Satan jump into the void and pull him down with them. The evil archangel.
- I'm sorry?
- Ah, it doesn't make much sense, does it? But it did in the dream. It was even noble and tragic. I think.
- What else happened?
- Well, I know I shouldn't have stayed up reading that physics book. There was something about dark matter and angels. I think angels were dark matter? But they weren't dark when you looked at them in the right way. I built a sort of telescope and I could see them.
- You should have come to bed with me. Remember that next time.
- I will! And, ah, let me see, God lived in a Calabi-Yau manifold...
- A what?
- One of those twisty six-dimensional shapes that string theorists like. I showed you a picture, right?
- Oh yes, now I know what you mean. So God's in his... whatever... and all is well with the world?
- No, he's tired and he has some kind of accident. That was a good thing though.
- You're still not making any sense.
- I know, I know! And they can't ever see each other again. They're in different branes. That was so sad.
- Different brains?
- Branes. B-R-A-N-E-S. You know, parallel universes floating in multi-dimensional space. Anyway, he has to return to his brane and he's lost her forever.
- George, try to go back to sleep. We'll be so tired tomorrow.
- I just want to write this down before I forget it. It was really good. I think I could turn it into a book.
- Tomorrow, George.
- Okay, it'll wait until the morning. And you know what?
- What?
- I'm so glad we're in the same space-time continuum.
- Oh George, that's the most romantic thing anyone's ever said to me!
- Heh. I thought you'd like it. Goodnight sweetheart.
- Goodnight George.
- Mm.
- Mm.

Ah, maybe you're right :) I've removed it then.


Well, it is a bit of a mess, but I thought it concluded the story in a satisfying manner. My four stars were more for the trilogy as a whole...
