What to write about the last day of Earth?
The End.
by Barry Penfold
We knew it was coming. When, was the unknown. Until today.
The earth tremors began at about two in the morning and continue as I write. More severe now than before, and the wind velocity is rising.A grey cloud with an orange tinge builds slowly to our west. Communications have ceased with any other persons.
It is as if the Earth is berating us for one final time. Reminding us, that we had many chances but did not do enough. Nature does not care about who should die. Or how.
We cuddle. Afraid.Crying. The end.
Another era beginning.
