'Cavatina'- A Short Story

Voyager 1, the space probe launched in the 1970's, contained a golden disc of mankind's most profound musical works and images of our planet, for if someone should find it. It has flown uninterrupted through our universe for the past 560 years, passing out of our solar system and flying towards the stars.

Mankind has long since been destroyed by its own petty squabbles. All art has been lost, save that preserved by this timeless golden disc.

Flying alone through the emptiness, the last remnants of a dead civilisation, carrying some of its greatest treasures.
