from Science Fiction Fantasy Theater · host Duane Palmer

A grand, Shakespearean, apocalyptic monologue exploring the final moments of a dying simulated universe.Science Fiction Author D. Colin Palmer sits at a poker table and is dealt a Jack and a Queen—symbols that unlock the entire architecture of existence. What follows is a sweeping journey through Vonnegut’s eternalism, Celtic Otherworld myth, quantum mechanics, deterministic timelines, and the collapse of the holographic projection we call reality.This is not just a story.It is a revelation.A philosophical autopsy of fate, free will, myth, mathematics, and the final royal flush at the end of all things.If you enjoy high-concept science fiction, cosmic philosophy, or monologues that read like the universe explaining itself, welcome to the table.This is the last hand.
