I swore to an oath that in years to come I would perform my duty to the Empire, to Ruler as best I could. I have done that, but being Ruler is tiresone. The machine that I had built was a time machine, As long as I am immortal, I could not die by any means whatsoever. But--if I went back into time beyond the point where I became the Ruler, I could die at will. This I have done. I leave you as rulers of the Empire. I am no more. The Ruler The Scientist's lips moved, but no sound came from them. The sounds of arguing voices, releasing pent-up fury, came from the nearby council room, where the Ruling Committee was meeting. The Scientist moved to the windows and stood staring out at the sky. The sky was cloudy, the sin did not shine, thunder roared. The Ruler was no more! """""""" "....... SANS END" by Louis de Geneste Countless aeons in the future When a puny race called "Man" has long since perished. The earth shall be but a cold, blackened cinder. Swimming feebly in the ocean of space. Aimlessly wandering about a dying star. A ghastly caricature its former luxuriant self, It shall finally yield to the inescapable grasp of its parent.
