I really enjoyed this. It reminded me of an E.F. Benson or an M.R. James, but with a more modern understanding of popular physics. There is almost an Aquinas element to it, touching on the scientific creation theories, but it follows the traditional late Victorian ghost story narrative. I had read it before, but didn't comment last time. Thanks for pointing this out again.
Thanks for REreading. I like trying to write stories around big ideas and how they might play out in reality. I have several more that are still on the way.
Well, he said that we're only here for a moment and so he was. Hehe. We all know that our time here is brief but this really delved into that and now I feel even smaller than before. Haha. What a cool story, though. Great stuff, Layne.
Thank you kindly for reading and commenting! I tried to put a twist on the ghost story genre. It’s based on the theoretical idea called the Boltzmann brain. 🧠 👻

Thanks! If you hadn’t already heard of the theory, look up the Boltzmann Brain. Wild stuff•
almost TOO CLEVER!
Great work...what a thought exercise!
Thanks for taking the time to read it.
Or did you…
Maybe your memory of reading is just a random collection of particles fated to disintegrate in a few more seconds.
Guess we’ll see.
Did you just call me a scatterbrain? (You wouldn't be the first) 😄
I really enjoyed reading this...
