Infinity's End

4068 - Earth

They always told us it was dangerous. And I knew that. But I was always one to not listen. I can't stay trapped in thick, black walls. I can't resist knowledge. My mom told me, that centuries ago, it was taught to children that space never ends. I think that's beautiful, no end to something. But I see how that could scare someone. Not knowing what's out there. But just imagine how incredibly confined you would feel if you knew there was an end. You are in a box. Well now we know that, and walls are closing in on us. They may not be fast enough to catch me in my life time, but what about our future children? And their children and their children. These rocks and steel walls can with hold a rocket launch. But can they with hold the universe closing in on them?
