Just Another

by Nathan Bull

Once upon a time the world exploded and all of its inhabitants got thrown into the vacuum of space and suffocated to death.

But there was 1 survivor, who also died a few seconds later.

Meanwhile on a planet that humans call b-13Tgh5 that is orbiting the star b-13Tgh, cats have just become the dominant species and are evolving at an alarming rate, like a seriously alarming rate, like they've just invented the wheel, and discovered space travel, and- never mind they're extinct. On planet b-13Tgh6, however their prehistoric neighbours have just discovered that they can eat plants, but it turns out that all plants on their planet are poisonous, and now they're also extinct. Now, back on b-13Tgh5, about 100 cat people survived the mass extinction and have started to rebuild society, and they've just re-invented the wheel, and re-discovered space travel, and- they're re-extinct.

"I can't believe it, I've just seen a species evolve and go extinct twice in a matter of minutes, other galaxies are crazy" observed Sam, from the astronomy tower in the H.C of M (human colony of Mars).

"Karl doesn't care," said his friend Karl (they weren't really friends)

"AAAAAAAAAAH! Who are you" screamed Sam, but then an exception occurred and Karl's file got corrupted. (see users > Sam > game > characters > traceback.odt for more details)

"This game is awful," said the real version of Sam, and he fell asleep, while he was asleep, an anomaly cropped up, but as it was being fixed Sam got catapulted into the 4th dimension where he merged with his higher dimensional version of himself and was erased from existence.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the 4th wall the real, actual, legitimate version of Sam was helping his brother make a bowl of interdimensional spaghetti.

"Sam, have you ever wondered if there are other dimensions where there is only 3 dimensions, such as only height, width and depth."

"Erm, of course there is, remember that it is my job to fix anomalies in the 3 dimensional timelines, anyway, when did you get so good at making interdimensional spaghetti"

"I was always this good, remember"

"Sometimes"

The brothers finished making their interdimensional spaghetti and then they went to sleep for an inconceivable amount of time since time in their dimension fluctuates randomly.

2 hours later Sam's brother said, "Can you help me make some interdimensional spaghetti please?"

"Sure bro"

After an amount of time making spaghetti, Sam's brother said, "Sam, have you ever wondered if there are other dimensions where there is only 3 dimensions, such as only height, width and depth."

"Wait, we had this conversation in the last time loop, remember."

"Yes I do, but do you?"

"Sometimes."

The brothers almost finished making their interdimensional spaghetti and time reset itself entirely

"Just another random amount of time at the office," said Sam.
