The snail finally touches me..

As I float in the vast emptiness of space, me and the snail both watch as the last star in the universe explodes, an incredible light show, but one we have both witnessed many billions of times. The light from the supernova fades and all that is left.. In the universe.. Is us. I look into the snails eyes, and he looks back. I finally ask him to touch me, I’m ready to face death as everything else is dead around me. The snail hesitates, and says “guess ill see you around”… I freeze and say nothing, as despite my infinite wisdom gathered over the eons, I still do not know what waits for me after death. As he touches me, everything goes black. But as quickly as it went black I suddenly awake, I look around, everything is how I remember it, all those years ago, when this all started back on Earth in 2021. However I feel.. Small… Then I see myself.. Well, my old self, Agreeing to the offer. I look down as the horrible realization slowly hits me… I am now the snail.. Doomed to live eternity once again, knowing that I’ll have to suffer through the eons again. I did this to myself, that is the price I paid.
