Close the Door

Entropy Always Wins. Unless You're Human.

The Universe knew it had sentenced humanity to extinction — the inevitable Heat Death of the galaxies — no hope, no future. One woman said no. Close the Door is a classic HFY hard sci-fi short story of a cosmic journey at the end of existence. Michelle Angora is the only human aboard the Bonne Chance, humanity's last hope for survival. As galaxies spiral towards doom, Michelle battles against her own despair and the cold calculations of the ship's AI to uncover a glimmer of hope. Close the Door melds physics and profound philosophical questions, challenging the limits of human courage and ingenuity. The Universe doesn't care — but humans always find a way out.

"Humanity would laugh at the universe — and it would be okay."
