The Substance of
Nothing
by Michael C.
Keith
“There’s no
afterlife,” declared Sarah. “When we
die . . . we simply die. That’s it,
period. We’re caput. It’s the
end of the road . . . fini.”
“Yeah,” agreed
Emil. “There’s no heaven or hell. We
don’t go anywhere. We just enter the
void”
“What’s a void?”
asked 11 year old Linda.
“It’s
nothingness,” answered Sarah.
After a period of careful
thought, Linda replied. “Well, if there
is nothingness, then there is
something . . . right?”
Neither adult responded.
