Apocalypse

 

All the Gates opened. And air poured into reality. A lot of scholars have spoken about this phenomenon but were treated by the scientific community as quaint folks before being gradually marginalised. 

 

The phenomenon of winds is not due to barometrical fluctuations but to invisible dimensional gates, that open up erratically across any geographical longitude and latitude on earth, releasing winds that rush out through their nozzles.

 

During the most recent European congress of “Meteorology, Clouds and Winds”, unable to put up with this plot against truth anymore, I dedicated my speech to the analysis of the aforementioned allegation. Needless to say, the audience showered me with derision. 

 

Not that the laughter and mockeries of my colleagues cause me any trouble whatsoever; I just fear that one day, instead of air, the numerous scattered gates could release dirt, fire, or water into the world. Certain prophets ignoring a rational way of thinking have called this possibility “Apocalypse”.
