Parallel worlds

Holy Underpants, Batman!, this was a deeply odd, harrowing week, with revelations coming out of the woodwork every day in the leadup to the funeral. It's all been so odd, in fact, that I sat down with a group of friends after the funeral to discuss what we thought we knew. Having weighed the evidence of all the parallel worlds, and punchdrunk from more twists than an episode of Lost, we have come to the inescapable conclusion that he faked his own death.

All said with a smile on our faces, but looking into everybody's eyes as we sat around the table, you could see a niggling, gnawing suspicion that none of us are 100% sure that we're actually joking.
