We the authors have decided to twist your insane minds even further....
What follows are three distinct and different endings to the story. Each of us wrote with no foreknowledge of what the other author was going to write about except for certain guidelines.
Throughout the story we have introduced multiple storylines, and you may have encountered certain shall we say...anomalies in our thought patterns. These temporal distortions have a way a manifesting themselves in the midst of the madness, and chaos brought about by the fact the story has been written by three different authors. Have no fear, the truth is out there, and all will be explained.
Below is a list of the criteria each of us attempted to touch upon in the creation of our own unique endings.
We challenge you to read the messages with an open mind so as to not be overwhelmed by a dirge of cosmic insanity. It is our hope that the individual messages and endings will have a synergistic effect on the overall content, and ultimately give a true sense of multiple timelines occurring through infinite possible futures.
Enjoy....

"The City in the Sea"
Before
we reach our end, we should take time to reminisce in what was quite possibly
the true beginning of it all:
Lo! Death had reared himself a throne
In a strange city lying alone
Far down within the dim West
Where the good and the bad and the worst and the best
Have gone to their eternal rest.
There shrines and palaces and towers
(Time-eaten towers that tremble not!)
Resemble nothing that is ours.
Around, by lifting winds forgot,
Resignedly beneath the sky
The melancholy waters lie.
No rays from the holy Heaven come down
On the long night-time of that town;
But light from out the lurid sea
Streams up the turrets silently--
Gleams up the pinnacles far and free--
Up domes--up spires--up kingly halls--
Up fanes--up Babylon-like walls--
Up shadowy long-forgotten bowers
Of sculptured ivy and stone flowers--
Up many and many a marvelous shrine
Whose wreathed friezes intertwine
The viol, the violet, and the vine.
Resignedly beneath the sky
The melancholy waters lie.
So blend the turrets and shadows there
That all seem pendulous in air,
While from a proud tower in the town
Death looks gigantically down.
There open fanes and gaping graves
Yawn level with the luminous waves;
But not the riches there that lie
In each idol's diamond eye--
Not the gayly-jewelled dead
Tempt the waters from their bed;
For no ripples curl, alas!
Along that wilderness of glass--
No swellings tell that winds may be
Upon some far-off happier sea--
No heavings hint that winds have been
On seas less hideously serene.
But lo, a stir is in the air!
The wave--there is a movement there!
As if the towers had thrust aside,
In slightly sinking, the dull tide--
As if their tops had feebly given
A void within the filmy Heaven.
The waves have now a redder glow--
The hours are breathing faint and low--
And when, amid no earthly moans,
Down, down that town shall settle hence,
Hell, rising from a thousand thrones,
Shall do it reverence.
