Richard felt convinced that there was more to the universe—a dimension beyond, responsible for all creation.

He set his ‘Quantum Breach’ invention to the maximum to break the chains of ‘the simulation’ or ‘reality.’

An ethereal being appeared before him:

“Congratulations, Richard, you did it! You’re meeting your creator.”

“Are you God?”

“For all intents and purposes, yes.”

“Your omnipotent and eternal?”

“Based on how you perceive your universe and your linear existence within its spacetime, yes.”

“So why?” asked Richard.

“Why, what?” replied the creator.

“Why is everything?”

“You know, Richard, I’ve been asking that same question forever.”
