microfiction, kinda somber (part 2)
This galaxy was old. Much older than the others; no appreciable amount of star formation was going to be happening here bar a collision with another galaxy.
The revelation felt strange, to be among the last civilizations this place was ever going to bring forth, together with anyone else out there. It wouldn't have any real impact on anyone around today.
All the more reason to make the best out of it while it lasts, perhaps.
