A Frayed Mind

I was thinking about this the other day, about how physics is the same no matter where you are in the universe. The equation for gravity is the same everywhere along with the speed of light, general relativity, boiling point for water and the list goes on.

How about irony? I see no reason how aliens could not have a concept of something being ironic. A fire truck being on fire is ironic.

Her arm is grazed badly, she doesn’t know what from. She hasn't noticed the façade yet. As they approach the next corner, her
