  Summary

  You waste another 20 something loops slamming your ship into things, as hard and as violently as you can. The sensation of 50 Gs of force, your body breaking through the glass of your ship, feeds an angry animal that has grown inside you.

   

  The universe has its natural end, and it’s not yours to stop.
