"They're long gone - some disease, millenia ago," said a voice behind her. She said, "Doesn't anyone in this stupid universe say HELLO?!"

"Hon, why is there a tiny doll-sized staircase placed next to our bathtub?"
"You nitwit! That's not the rippling fields of Paradise Meadows! That's just flapping green mesh on fallen scaffoldi- hey, come back here!"
