"You're supposed to be a rational Universe," Zoë said, addressing the cosmos
at large. "Perhaps you would care to explain this? Theories that don't involve
my dreams being precognitive visions would be preferred."
She held up the contents of the parcel she'd received. A note: "Best I could
do --Gia." And a bar of soap, made to look like an old-fashioned mobile
telephone. She'd never met anyone called Gia, except in her dreams.
"If you do this sort of thing again," she added, "I shall be forced to
consider switching to another philosophical framework."
The Universe made no reply.
