We demonstrate that the initial conditions for inflation are met when a D5-(D) over bar5 brane annihilates, This scenario uses Sen's conjecture that a codimension two vortex forms on the worldvolume of the annihilated 5-brane system. Analogous to a big bang, when the five branes annihilate, a vortex localized on a 3-brane forms and its false vacuum energy generates an inflationary space-time. We also provide two possible mechanisms for ending inflation via the decay of a metastable vortex, or radiation of the cosmological constant into the bulk space-time.
