A terrible ray, a terrible horrible ray, a monstrous needle-thin ray certain to destroy the Earth, is still pouring at the speed of light through the boundless reaches of space. It has traveled for nearly seven hundred years and soon it will strike. It will end life as we understand it. There will be no world. There will be no humanity. There will be nothing that we know. There will only be the Decohesion Engine, Principle of Omnipotence, a power born in death and a terrible light.

It is bad!

Oh, wicked god of space, it is terrible!

. . . but that’s not what this story is about, either.
