ShortStory 854 words Recommended by 2 award/anthology sources
"We found you, and you alone, in a universe that had forgotten to die. Or rather, a universe for whom death had been set just out of reach. When my people grew aware of our universe’s impending mortality, we developed slipspace travel, to pass through the shining soap-bubble boundary of another realm without breaking it."
