choose your stellar ending

Your entire life is spent shaping how you are going to die.
Or more softly, what you will be able to look back upon when that time comes.
 
All possibilities exist, and we narrow them down one at a time.
By choosing directions, people, places, eliminating others.
Possible endings like countless stars illuminating the sky of your future
in a steady, homogenous grey curtain, and as we narrow
the number of paths we can follow, the number
of collapsible wavelength potentials, some stars fade out,
others brighten.
