Scientists' hubris,
Terrorists' evil cunning,
End our universe.
Black holes and Big Bangs,
New theory will reveal,
their close interplay.
Dark vision of truth,
The end of the world revealed,
Already begun.

This is a teaser for my short story End of days from my Echoes of the Mind's Eye collection. It is by far the darkest, most disturbing and most plausible scenario for events that will soon lead to not just the end of the world, but the eventual end of our corner of the multiverse. This story posits a novel theory of cosmology and offers a warning about the dangers of providing extremely expensive, dangerous toys to individuals who for all of their collective intelligence are little more than the brightest amoebas attempting to understand the complexities of the multiverse by examining in minutest detail the fetid drop of pond water they inhabit atop a leaf drifting in a stagnant pond.
