“Here stood the architect of Exit.”
And beneath it,
a vault of artifacts:
a wallet with seventeen dead coins,
a passport to nowhere,
a deed to a satellite that no longer orbits.
And finally,
a video-
looped and unblinking,
the billionaire addressing no one:
“I did not hoard.
I curated the future.
I did not flee.
I diversified risk.
If I left the Earth,
it was only because
I believed in survival as innovation.”
But there were no survivors
to marvel at his foresight.
No inheritors to hate him properly.
