The known universe was split into two parts. They were almost completely separated by a thin membrane and had been for 55 years.
On the inner side there was room for one individual, secured behind a flimsy, somewhat porous and pliable divider. It had to be pliable as the individual concerned couldn't decide just how much space would be needed at any one time.
On the outer side the rest of the universe ebbed and flowed, only occasionally taking note of the activities that jostled relentlessly just a short distance away on the far side of the membrane. It was almost as if it was quite unaware of the inevitable collision that was to come once Steve finally published his poetry anthology.
Once he hit that button the two worlds would have to establish new terms for their coexistence.
Only time would tell if it would be a peaceful one.
