The Earth had been dying for years—climate chaos, wars, and an ever-expanding sun. But it wasn’t until the Asteroid Godspeed appeared in the sky that humanity realized the end was inevitable.The governments of the world scrambled to launch evacuation ships, though they knew only a fraction of the population could escape. On the final day, as the asteroid grew larger in the sky, an eerie calm blanketed the planet.Amid the chaos, Dr. Elara Hayes, a communications officer, stayed behind in a bunker beneath New Zealand.

She spoke into the microphone, her voice steady despite the growing tremor in the ground.“To whoever receives this: We are the people of Earth. A small blue planet orbiting a yellow star.

The Earth lit up brighter than a thousand suns.But out in the void
