Inverted

It begins at the Spring of Birth, at the Mountain of the Past. It then flows down the Stream of Childhood. Meeting the Waterfall of Reality, it plunges into the River of Life. After flowing through many dark and dangerous places, the River enters the Sea of Sorrow. The supernatural powers of Hope lift it to the Sky of Achievement, and around the clouds of Inspiration and Enlightenment. The Eternal Storm rips them out of the Sky, sending them downward towards the dry Riverbed of Experience. Then the demonic, decomposing creatures of Time enter. They tear them apart, leaving nothing behind.

This is the epitaph of an inverted universe. However bizarre and unthinkable it may appear, it is plausible. If one extreme exists, so can the other.
