In the beginning, there was naught. A vast sea of nothingness overshadowed all of creation. Then, one day, a sudden burst occurred, showering light upon the vast cosmos. That light, in its brilliant effulgence would be shown to be the passing release of vapor clouds from the electronic cigarette of a generation Z in a 2017 Honda Civic.

Millennia have passed and though the stories and beliefs may change, be it religious or otherwise, Whether or not people still remember the glory that was the birth of their creation, the ever haunting worry continues in the back of those who have been enlightened by truth's embrace: "What will happen when the vape pen runs out of juice?"

The answer to that disturbing question eludes even the most knowledgeable of academics, creating drifts in the scientific and religious communities. Wars have started, finished and started again for countless eons, server no greater purpose and achieving no higher understanding of the invisible forces at play. It brings the question into the purview of those who have studied their surroundings long enough to realize the pointlessness of the struggle, albeit more cynical than helpful to their fellow man.

Two great questions come to mind: Is it that our creator has abandoned us, or is there a return planned later, past our mortal lives extending into imperceivable stretches of eternity? Given the chance at achieving a greater consciousness and learning our true place in this macrocosm, would we find more happiness or strife? There are no definitive answers. One thing we know for sure, it's been rather silent in the sea of heavens in the time we've discerned our origin, and it would seem that not even another puff on the vape pen of creation would fill the void that we have painfully created within ourselves in selfish longing for something greater, grasping at it in vain.
