The five o'clock alarm rang.
The man dragged himself to the bathroom, he placed his hands on the counter and stared at the sink.
“You know, if a genie appeared before me and offered me a choice — to press a button that would make all things cease to exist — no space and no energy. No past, present nor future. No laws of nature, no fields and no particles. No universe, no multiverse, no quantumverse. No information, no entropy. Nothing, just nothing.” The man lifted his head and gazed into his own eyes. “I would press the shit out of that button.”
“I would as well,” the reflection said. “I would as well.”
