CONCLUSION.
A few hours afterward the earth burst like a shell. The stars nearest it, attracted fragments of the destroyed mass, and assimilated with them, not however without causing tremendous cataclysms, such as deluges, and breakings away from its axis.
The moon, almost intact, became a satellite of either Venus or Mercury. In the mean time the Day of Judgment for the family of Adam and Eve had come to pass, and the souls of the wicked were transported to other planets, there to commence a new life.
What greater punishment!
Those who purified themselves in this second existence obtained the glory of returning to the bosom of God, when those planets disappeared.
But those who did not so purify themselves passed on to perhaps a hundred other worlds, where they wandered as we, in ours.
That afternoon, the spirits of Tito and Elena entered the Promised Land hand in hand, free, forever, from sorrow and penitence; saved and redeemed; reconciled with God, participants in His beatitude, heirs to his glory....
For the rest, I can end my story as is the custom with old people, saying: “I went, and I came but they told me nothing.”
