Hands meet, a contact point between two universes of men.
He is as vast as I, thinks the something, and he was. This one reeked of the future.
The something twitched, a tendril lapping out through the everything to reach the someone, the him.
He shook the something’s hand and slipped over the edge. A hollow coldness knifed through his body, followed by a seeping warmth that seemed to fill his entirety.
