The Last Star, Reef, and the Other Nine Stars Winked Out

R reef summoned a digital bong and the two of them passed it back and forth as they made the transit half way to their next target. They dodged black holes and dim se remnants and discarded planets long ago tossed away by their parent stars. The distances between stars grew longer as the universe kept expanding, so reef kept spinning the dial until they were cruising through a trillion years an hour. As they shot across the darkening void, the other nine stars winked out in the time it took reef to open a bag of plantain chips.
