Note: This is a science fiction story created by the writer John Adams

In the year 2199, humanity had reached the height of its technological development. The world was a flawless union of science and nature. People explored the cosmos and lived in harmony with the environment, utilizing renewable energy sources. There was a cost, though, as there always is.

Brilliant astrophysicist Dr. Helena Ramos uncovered an unheard-of cosmic aberration deep inside the Amazon rainforest. A black hole was eating galaxies at an alarming rate in the deepest parts of space. It was emitting progressively stronger gravitational forces, and its unavoidable pull was posing a threat to the planet's extinction.

Helena, tormented by her discovery, urgently gathered a group of the brightest brains in the world, eager to find a solution. Among them were Dr. Mei Lin, a famous geneticist with expertise in the study of extremophiles, and Dr. Viktor Serrano, a bright quantum physicist.

They came up with a risky proposal to construct an interdimensional gateway together. They felt that by using parallel worlds, they may find a means to counteract the black hole's gravitational pull and prevent humanity's impending extinction. They were forced to take this enormous risk because they had no other option.

As the gateway's development moved forward, months turned into years. As the enormous building began to take shape, the entire globe watched with anticipation. The day finally came when the gateway was turned on. In the hopes that their estimates were accurate, the scientists held their breath. A dazzling light enveloped the scene as the gateway hummed to life. The researchers stepped into the dark while braving the bright light. They couldn't believe what they discovered on the other side—a warped, fractured replica of their reality. Time has no significance anymore because the laws of physics were broken.

Helena, Viktor, and Mei continued into the warped landscape unafraid. They came upon hideous hybrids of biology and technology. The shards of shattered realities were being consumed by terrifying apparitions that were hiding in the darkness.

'Motivated by hope and desperation,' the trio continued. A cosmic being of unfathomable power and intelligence was discovered by them. It identified itself as the Harbinger, keeper of the portal between realms. It became clear that the black hole was a sign of an upcoming disaster an unstoppable force that would consume all in its path and bring about the singularity, the collapse of all realms.

Helena, Viktor, and Mei were given options by The Harbinger. They could cut off the doorway, ending the black hole's existence but locking everyone else in this bizarre reality for all time. They may also let the black hole keep ravaging, which would guarantee the quick demise of all life. They made their choice with sorrowful hearts. To save humanity, they would give their lives, severing the gateway and dooming themselves to an eternity of torment. They looked at each other as they started the self-destruction procedure, their eyes showing a mix of anguish and resolution.

The world outside the doorway was shaken by its destruction. Realities began to fracture as the clock wound down, and the doorway came crashing in on itself. Planets, galaxies, and stars were swallowed up in the cosmic shockwave's ripples.

Earth, now cut off from the warped realms, was left drifting aimlessly in space. The surface, which was previously colorful, became a barren wasteland. The splendor of nature died away, to be replaced by enduring darkness that ate everything in its path.

And so, the world encountered its End
