Intra-Stellar

by Wim Coleman

It is said that our Hollow Sun holds 1.3 million earths. Just how much those earths resemble our own is purely a theoretical matter, since no information can escape the event horizon of the photosphere. Nevertheless, the laws of physics suggest with a high degree of certainty that there is an earth where coincidences never happen, which itself is an astonishing coincidence. Lent is perpetual on one of these earths, while Carnevale is never-ending on another. There is an earth where everyone's fifteen minutes of fame is divided and subdivided into imperceptible nanoseconds. Most interesting of all to the layperson is an earth where every snowflake has its exact double.
