Ethan Parker gazed out of the airplane window, his eyes tracing the curve of the Earth below. The white clouds dotted the vast blue sky, giving him a feeling of serenity. He had been contemplating his life, the choices he made, and the experiences he had gone through. His mind wandered through his achievements, setbacks, and relationships. Despite all the ups and downs, he felt content with the life he had lived.

As a renowned engineer, he had dedicated his life to creating innovative solutions, pushing the boundaries of technology. However, as his career progressed, he found himself increasingly entangled in the world of business. Meetings, deals, and endless negotiations had consumed his time, leaving little room for his true passion – working with technology. Ethan longed for the days when he could immerse himself in his work, solving complex problems and bringing new ideas to life.

But life had not been all work and no play for Ethan. He had loved and lost, forged friendships, and experienced the joy of connecting with others. Through it all, he had learned invaluable lessons about himself and the world around him.

He had done everything he could in his life and was satisfied with his achievements. If this was his end, he could face it without regrets.

The light-ball collided with the plane, engulfing it in a blinding explosion. As the world around him vanished, Ethan closed his eyes and embraced the unknown that lay ahead.
