[ WP ] A device has been invented that allows the user to gaze upon Heaven or Hell . Hell is terrifying , and those who see it often need counselling . But their terror pales compared to those who witness God 's domain .

`` I have seen things that are beyond description. And the beauty of these things is proof that God is not a nurturer, nor a tormentor.'' 
 
 He paused to gather his thoughts. 
 
 `` God is a fucking comedian.'' 
 
 A confused silence settled over the room. 
 
 `` All the wonders we dreamed of, everything we write of in storybooks and fairytales? It's all up there. Every fantastic creature you could dream of and more. All of them just watching us stumble blindly about in our stupid, ugly, dirty little world and laughing. We are a cosmic joke, and there's nothing we could do about it. This device - this knowledge, it is a curse. It will torment me for the rest of my pitiful life, and if anyone present can grasp the meaning of this, it will torment you too. We are insignificant. We are nothing but a joke in the eyes of our creator. And we are ultimately doomed.'' 
 
 A voice piped up from the back of the room. 
 
 `` Professor Nealy, does this mean our papers are n't due today?'' 
 
 ``...'' 
 
 `` Professor?'' 
 
 He sullenly shuffled from the room without an answer.
