The Alternative Factor
It started when the world blinked out.
The rest of the day
seemed to exist
in some sort of vacuum,
shaken
every so often,
by fields of stars
across our eyelids
and the sudden
absence
of …anything
Broken
every so often
by Lazarus,
falling off a cliff
(again),
the day
was horrible
in an absence
of anything
and it was as if
we were puppets
dancing
on a dark stage
for an
absent
audience.
Knowing all of existence
might end
can do that
to a day.
Perhaps
it was fitting
that the final meeting
should take place
in an
anti-universe,
on a small,
empty world
where the wind
blew
the grasses
and there was no
sound.

The Alternative Factor
(from the point of view of Dr. McCoy)
He fell off the cliff,
once,
twice,
Couldn't he learn the first time?
He fell off the cliff,
once,
twice,
Check his head? I think I might.
