A deep tremor passes through the cosmos as the Sun erupts into a furious red giant, its crimson limbs silently engulfing Mercury and Venus. Earth hangs precariously in the void, its surface blistered and uninhabitable. I, Mars, now wear a crown of debris from Phobos’s final collision, drifting in a solitary path. Saturn’s rings have vanished; Uranus streams molten tears; Neptune retreats into the endless night. Within this fading portrait, I turn my gaze toward the fragile, blue-washed marble, seeking a last whisper of companionship before everything goes dark.
