This piece describes a journey to our nearest neighboring galaxy,
Andromeda, told through the eyes of a space traveller. Our character first

arrives at the edge of the galaxy, encountering sparse celestial bodies.
Then as the journey continues toward the center of the Galaxy, the texture
around the traveller becomes denser and more varied. Our traveller
eventually runs into, amongst other phenomenon, intelligent alien life
before ultimately arriving to the center of the Galaxy and its Black Hole.
Once there, due to the immense gravity, time and space start to bend; the
force is such that light itself starts to orbit the Black Hole, allowing one to
theoretically look to once side, and see the back of their heads. Time also
bends and slows down. Our traveller then crosses the event horizon and

finally reaches the singularity.
