Ten.... Nine... Eight... This was it. They were getting closer and closer to the planet that was destined to replace earth. This was their new beginning. Seven... Six... Five... He turned his head as much as the force crushing against his body would allow. The sight beyond the window was one that would remain with the young man until death. Galaxies, nebulas, hundreds upon thousands of worlds flew past his eyes, gone within a fraction of a second. Four... Was this it? Was this the whole of the universe? He didnt want to believe it. He didnt want to believe that it could all be ignored so easily. How many of those planets held life? How many had women, children, even, living among its their surfaces? How could they, mere humans, be anywhere near as important as they believed that they were? Three.. Was this really it? Two... What about this beginning was new? One... The ship groaned underneath them. Alarms screamed. Those that were strapped tightly into the remotely controlled vessel could do nothing as it pierced the atmosphere, falling further and further into the garden of Eden. The man then shut his eyes, crying out as consciousness was stolen from him, unsure if he would ever wake. A part of him, the part that had watched those worlds whiz by, hoped not. There was nothing new about this world, except, perhaps, the ways in which man might destroy it. God would not walk through this garden, and there would be no serpent to tempt those who stepped onto the virgin soil. Before his mind went dark and empty, one last thought manage to cross his mind with enraging leisure, one that may have crossed the minds of each and every one of his associates as they too slipped from reality. Had they fallen further from grace simply by forcing their way towards heaven?
