The far future is truly Lovecraftian and hard to fathom. Eventually star formation will cease, most of the timespan of the universe will be the "dark era" where black holes slowly evaporate due to Hawking Radiation. Then there will only be light, and when there is only light then time itself ceases to exist as a meaningful construct. Space, too, perhaps. Then there is an alternative, even longer ending, if it's possible for light itself to decay.
Rage, rage against the ~~dying~~ decaying of the light.
