Summary
There is nothing.
Ryland Grace knows this now. He was never religious, never believed in anything when he was alive. There’s a lot of different beliefs, back on Earth, of what lies beyond death. He didn’t believe in any of that, and he had thought that was fine. Now is different. Now he is, as far as he can tell, dead. Now is the first hand proof of what lies beyond. Now is…
Nothing.
A very dark, vast, infinite expanse of nothing.
…
There is nothing for what could either be forever,
…
or for no time at all.
…
He’ll never get to see Erid.
…
He’ll never get to see Adrian, who Rocky had told him so much about.
…
He’ll never get to see if the taumoeba works, if either Erid or Earth are able to free their starts from the astrophage infection.
…
He’ll never get to see Rocky again.
…
…
…
And then there is something.Ryland Grace is given a second chance at life, but every waking moment is followed by the knowledge of what awaits him should he die, of what awaits everyone. He learns that some people should go meet that Nothing sooner, rather than later.
