I was ejected from my spacecraft in deep space. As I looked out I could see in the distance a small blue planet. As I watched, a dark plume rose from the surface that engulfed the entire planet in a dark cloud. I had just come from another place that this had happened. As my life support diminished, and I contemplated the uselessness of attempting to find a better place in the universe, I could only hope that in death there may be another dimension better than here.
