Part Last (yes, it does have an end).
Nishan knew that if he stayed standing he might soon be killed, so he immediately threw his body flat on the ground, and crawled under the thick torrent of altered fruit. His uncomfortably terrestrial journey was long and tortuous, but soon he was clear of the ireful avenue. He then adopted a less reptilian posture, and, realizing he was late, ran towards the palace gates. On arriving in front of the gates, a wide chasm in the ground instantly opened before him. Had he not abruptly stopped, he would have fallen down into the rift, in which there seemed to be no bottom. Fearing the emperor’s displeasure in his absence, Nishan hurriedly took hold of a wooden plank, and laid it across the small abyss. He dashed over it, through the grounds, and into the palace. As soon as he went in, there was a sudden eclipse of the sun. The sky turned a shade of purple and the stars were visible. The stars were very visible in fact, and they all looked abnormally bright. Nishan came out of the palace, and on seeing the sky, ran back in to fetch a sheet of papyrus and a quill pen. He decoded from the largest: “Fool! You have upset the essential factor of predictability in the course of time! This has set off a joint supernova and we shall all explode within seconds!”
To this Nishan yelled, “We’re free!” and the stars exploded.
