"What's up?" Mary asked, as she appeared on his shoulder, this time dressed up as a cowgirl. Or, well, a very Hollywood version of a cowgirl. She even had the tiny silver pistols and everything.

"Nothing too serious. Just that the anomaly that we have to deal with that will end this time bubble before time freezes for billions of years, killing us all, is hidden behind a bunch of time fractures."

He pointed at the bunch of nothing right in front of him, as if that was what he was talking about.
