We Were

"We Were" Introduction A mistake was made when the universe was born. The error was very small - there was an extra frequency in the microwave background radiation, the stable domain of the physical constants was narrowed by one billionth, and the distribution of quantum fluctuations deviated from a straight line. No one noticed. No god noticed. Then life appeared. Then life thought. Then life begins to die. In the universe of death, death is not a probability, but a law of physics. There are no monsters here, no demons, no enemies to defeat. Only low-frequency signals are slowly slowing down your nerves; only dimensional debris will crush you into a two-dimensional piece of paper at any time; only the absolute zero sea where time is almost frozen, causing you to slowly fragment in billions of years of sober loneliness; only the core area of ​​cause and effect collapse, making every observation of yours lock in the worst outcome. The former super civilization left a sentence before its extinction, which was engraved on the neutron star tablet, encoded deep in the genes, and echoed in the decaying debris at the edge of true silence: "Don't think." But Lin Entropy is thinking. He is a physicist, a time traveler, and a person who cannot help but ask "why". He took the remaining companions of the fleet through the cognitive fog of the broken star belt, crossed the constant fragments of the rift, drifted in the eternal loneliness of the Sea of ​​Tranquility, and approached the abyss of true silence. Every step is closer to the answer, and every step is closer to destruction. This is not a story about surviving. This is the story of a man coming to his end sober. There is no exit from the sky of annihilation. But Lin Entropy decided to go to the deepest point to see what the "mistake" was.
