Synopsis: A prisoner condemned to death is pardoned, only to learn that the end of the world is imminent. The Earth is to be evacuated, but like a few other people uninterested in this future life, he decides to stay.

He then meets an official who calmly informs him that all those rescue rockets were in fact...gas chambers.
