Dust and Sand Through the Ages

“Earth calendar, 2024. Routine report from Observation Station 17: Third planet of the Solar System. Civilization index continues to decline. No spiritual energy activity detected. Classified as a ‘dead star.’ Recommend removal from the ‘Civilization Watchlist’ to conserve entropy energy. At the end of the report was an automated annotation from the ‘Sloan Data Terminal,’ seemingly from an age beyond imagining: ‘The world is flawed, yet humanity endures... Conditions matched. Protocol on standby.’ The observation station AI classified the annotation as redundant ancient data and took no action. Report archived.
