Title story the least challenging to get through; the rest required more thought. Upon first read I thought I was incapable of understanding, but am glad I revisited. short and unique ways of blending creation myths and science with whimsy and earnestness

Before Rick and Morty was cool :d
I really enjoyed those short stories and I would read the full collection Cosmicomics.
"I shall implode, collapse inside the abyss of myself, towards my buried centre, infinitely."
"Time is a catastrophe, perpetual and irreversible."

“Climb up on the Moon? Of course we did. All you had to do was row out to it in a boat and, when you were underneath, prop a ladder against her and scramble up.”
I thought this was going to be deep, philosophical non fiction about science. How wrong I was, and how glad I am that I opened it. It’s like if Tolkien wrote Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Pure sci-fi whimsy.
