A short story.

There, the ancient human probe has sat, alone, on the baron landscape looking to the heavens diligently, resiliently, for billions of years. Archiving & transmitting what her sensors have gathered for endless millennia, never knowing if her data was received.

On the stage of Universe, life, death, creation & destruction have all played out before her as galaxies collide, but her final task is finally at hand. The end is near, the Red Giant has come for her, to engulf her as he dies.

She embraces his face, the dying Sun, & Earth is no more.
