Countless billions of stars.
Each one of them with the potential to give life to planets, just as our
own Sun gives life to Earth. An infinite universe, with infinite possible solar
systems and, within them, infinite life forms. Unending versions of
ourselves, over and over again, in every possible permutation of our lives.
Infinite possibilities . . .
Above me, the inky sky twinkles with shimmering pinpricks of light —
although nowhere near as many as if I were outside the city. It’s a clear,
warm night, but Chicago’s light pollution isn’t helping with my multiverse
musings.
Infinite possibilities . . . Infinite lives . . .
Surely there’s a killer slogan for our new sportswear account in there
somewhere.
Live your best life, maybe? Nah . . . a bit too cliché. Something an
influencer would say. For this campaign, it has to be more philosophical.
Cerebral.
I place my empty champagne glass on the high-top table beside me,
which is wobbling a little on the uneven patio tiles, and type “Infinite
possibilities” and “Infinite lives” into the Notes app on my cellphone.
Twenty stories below the glass barrier I’m leaning against, the evening
traffic is now relatively quiet. It’s nearly eleven, and our agency’s summer
party is gradually winding down.
I turn back to face the sliding doors that lead into our office lounge, and
Stephen is pushing through them, two fresh flutes of champagne in hand.
He saunters towards me with a wry smile on his face and hands me a glass.
“Hey, Millie. I saw you were dry, which seemed like a desperate
situation in need of being immediately rectified.” He looks up, past the tips
of the tall buildings surrounding our roof terrace. “Finding inspiration in the
cosmos? The little of it we can see from here.” He takes a swig out of his
glass. “Man, I can’t wait to get out camping next weekend and do some real
stargazing.”
I take a sip of my own drink, and the bubbles effervesce like a galaxy
on my tongue. Our boss, Erin, went all out with the vintage champagne for
tonight. I certainly don’t need another glass, as the stars above are starting
to blur a little, but I can’t turn down time with Stephen.
Anything for time with Stephen.
Even though I know that’s not good for me. Even though I wish he
wasn’t what I want.
“That sounds great. I was just thinking some more about a slogan for
Vici. They seemed really into our conversation earlier about string theory. I
think there might be something there, you know, for the new tagline?” I
shrug. “Something about infinite possibilities, or infinite chances. Like,
somewhere in the multiverse, there’s a version of your life where you’ve
achieved everything you want, including being an awesome athlete or
whatever — and with Vici, you can make this life that version. Or . . .
something.”
