And then, as suddenly as it had happened, the cataclysm was over, earth rose again, bearing on it now, not glistening, proud civilizations, but splintered carcasses. The course of its orbit was different now, the world was completely reversed.
And from somewhere light years of light years away, a shattering, ear splitting voice, so loud as to fill the vault of the heavens themselves boomed:
“Double fault. That's set point. Match to Rongdfmo”.
And the stray sphere that was called earth continued its course, toward a fence of that ethereal tennis court, surely to bounce again in perhaps two or three million earth years.
