Title: Smörgåsbord of the Universe Rating: PG (Implications? Taking the sandwich thing to it's final destination? Implied death of every single character?) Word Count: 119 Summary: The inevitable end comes sooner than they thought.
It turned out Mother Flame and Father Universe were not omniscient, Uusoae broke free of her Star Cage far earlier than expected, she and her children fell upon her siblings in an ambush devouring them and their realm, the Peaceful Realms and the Mortal Realm are ripped apart as well (she takes particular relish in consuming the Kingdom of Tortall); then her hungry gaze reaches out for the stars; only when the universe a void is Uusoae's hunger sated- (Mother and Father were the last to be eaten) and Uusoae knows what comes next; her engorged form contracts in upon itself and she glows with light of a million upon million suns- then she shatters...
...the universe begins.
Notes:Ooh some fun word play in the title. Smörgåsbord is a Swedish portmanteau of ;"Open faced sandwich" and "table". Actual word basically means a free for all buffet.

I like the mythological, story-ish narration to to this

Woooh! Definitely cool. Lemme guess- sandwich inevitably causes Chaos, strengthening Uusoae?

If you want to put it that way. There'd have to be a reason the Gods were so easily jumped And I did say in another that the Tortall universe would collapse due to the sheer weight of sandwich innuendo. I also desperately wanted to used the word Smörgåsbord in a title/fic.

Wow, the sandwich at the end of the universe! Very cool. I love the cosmology as well as the sandwich-ness.
