Description
Go to any city along the River Thames in England, and look for a place called "All the King's Men". It will look like it is built in an old Gothic style cathedral, but it upon entering it will be full of tables with men and women of various ages eating breakfast. Allow yourself to be seated by the first waitress that comes to you – it will not be a waiter, so long as your intent is the Object that resides within.

When you are seated, the waitress will bring you the menu. Ask for the special of the day, and the waitress will tell you they are fresh out. If she does not, order something else. Anything else.

When you are told they are out, demand to see the Holder of Breakfast. The waitress will show a look of fear, but more like that of a worker afraid of being fired. If she declines to bring him to you, say you will have her fired if she doesn't. She will give in, and some the other patrons will fall silent, glowering at you. Those who do not will ignore it.

The Holder of Breakfast himself will be a well-groomed chef, a very handsome man in fact. He will ask what the problem is, and you must tell Him the special of the day is "fresh out". He will laugh, saying that there was an error in the stock room. He will say He will bring you a fresh plate Himself. Wait for Him to do so. While you do so, you may notice some of the other patrons glowering at you. Pay them no mind, for they will be swift in their harsh judgment of you if you do.

When He does, He will sit with you and ask you to tell Him of the Objects you have already. Do so, and his face will show more joy the longer you talk. Denial will result in the other patrons harshly criticizing you, detailing your cowardice and telling him the stories instead. Those who did not fall silent will not notice the strange tales the other patrons tell, them tearing apart every folly you made upon the way, in and out of the Holders' domains. Instead, tell him the stories – he will not criticize you for lying, but the other patrons will shout liar when you do so.

You may notice that the bacon tastes oddly familiar, in a strange and unsettling way. Do not comment on it, as you are far better off not knowing. Instead ask Him when you begin the eggs, "On what end were They broken on?"

He will tell you the breaking of the Objects, of how they shattered apart due to their imperfection when one. With each bite of the eggs, He will detail the shattering of the Objects in the far, and distant past, causing horrors to fall upon man. The words will be beyond your comprehension, and you may notice He is speaking in a different, more precise and ancient language. Yet you will understand it perfectly.

When he finishes, he will tell you that they were broken on both ends – the beginning, and the end.

If you finish your meal before he finishes, he will give you an egg timer. The egg timer will flow normally until all the sand is on bottom, then it will flow in reverse. Repeating forever.

The egg timer is Object ### of 538. What happens when it finally stops?
