The sound of a piercing alarm broke the heavy silence and the lights dimmed again. The lighted billboard on the wall indicated that only 15 days remained until they would be shut off completely. Entire families had already said there final goodbyes and then gone to bed peacefully for the last time. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised by the efficiency of the whole operation.

 The ones who were lucky enough to leave had been selected years ago. Though, I'm not quite sure if lucky is the right word to use. Being sent out into the cold vastness of outer space on a course that was only based on weak signals from far away systems did not seem that fortunate to me. They had asked me, of course, but I had refused. As silly as it seems, this was my home. I was born here and it only felt natural that I should die here. I took one final look around me and saw them all laying peacefully in their pods - unconcerned about the horrors that still lay ahead. My pod was the only one that remained opened now.
