[ WP ] Write the last paragraph of a science fiction epic .

`` The battle is finished, Arkan forces have broken through, we are overrun, we are overrun''. Alex played the message over and over again, as if the recording might just change its mind, and make everything right. No-one had expected the Arkans to be held back, no-one had even expected them to face as many issues as they did, but that hope now lay twisted and snapped amongst the bodies of the men who held it. Alex let out a sigh, kicked off his blood-smeared boots and sat back, there was nothing he could do any more to save this world, one man could not achieve what millions could not. But that did not mean that everything was lost, far from it. Alex kicked the Runner into full throttle, and watched the body-strewn ashes fade away behind him. The Arkans were strong, but not invincible. This world was lost, but the universe flows endlessly. And maybe, just maybe, on a little rock somewhere out there, Alex Solano may still have some fight left in him, and the end is n't the end at all. Not even a beginning. Just another story, from another time.
