Colors and chaos. That is how I imagine that fateful day. The demons celebrating, had they after all actually defeated God? The angels standing watch, they were told not to intervene as their master was murdered. I wonder what they were thinking. Were the doubting God? If at a quantum level, everything is connected and physicists say the laws of relativity break down, did the universe shake and tremble as the creator breathed his last breath?
