Möbius Strip: The Chicken or the Egg

The entity looked down upon them and smiled, “Take the orb, evolve.”

“No. You destroyed this world and everyone in it why? What are you creating?” Eric shouted.

“Unity. Everything. Macroverse. They died so that all might live.”

“What? Impossible! This world, this universe, exists within the Macroverse.” Could it be? This world is now the seed of the Macroverse? Eric reached out, probed. It seemed… possible.

He could see it now, the Macroverse, as a ribbon, stretched to infinity, a single twist, two ends coming together, the End of the Beginning and the Beginning of the End… a Möbius Strip.

“I Understand”

He reached out, taking the orb from Dreanna’s hand, instantly she fell to the ground.

“Take her!” He screamed at Ker, “run to the ship, fast as you can. This universe will be consumed. I’ll try to snap you into another, if there is time.”

“But…” Ker knew there was no use in arguing, he grabbed the girl and ran.

Complete the circle.

“End of the Beginning” Eric said crushing the orb.
