Universe (The Folly of Men): Difference between revisions

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Universe (''The Folly of Men'')}}[[Jenny Cornelius]] was native to the 1960s [[London]] of '''a universe''' where versions of [[Aziraphale|Mr Fell's bookshop]], [[Captain Stewart|Captain Stewart]]'s [[Intelligence Taskforce]] and [[Godzilla|a giant atomic sea monster]] also existed. The local [[Laura Drake#Working for the Intelligence Taskforce|version of Laura Drake]] worked for the Taskforce's P.R. office. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Folly of Men (short story)|The Folly of Men]]'') It seemed to be out of synch historically with [[Universe (Parallax)|the home universe]] of [[Jenny Everywhere#Kim's friend|the “Kim's friend” Jenny]], who, when shifting from [[Christmas Day|Christmas]] in her 21st century world to Cornelius's, found herself in Cornelius's native 1960s on [[Epiphany]].

Jenny described it as, "the universe of billions of ordinary humans who like thinking they live in a world of physical laws, of rational order, of cause and effect. The kind of place where the word ‘real’ means something. [Inhabitants] live their whole lives never seeing bits of the universe come apart like an old cardboard box held together with off-brand sellotape."
