This is a very intriguing story. I like the Apocalyptic glimpse on this pandemic that conquer the entire globe. I like you sconce-fiction approach with a little hint of conspiracy theory. Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

OMG that 1st paragraph speaks my very thoughts. The ending is good too. The real virus is the fear which has grown faster than the virus in exponential leaps and bounds. Eckhart Tolle has two presentation on this issue. If you get fb check it out. I am voting for this.

Judgment Day had to come sooner or later - you've just speeded it up in your biting social comment on the impact of Man's 'progress'. The tribunal is more powerful obviously than other authorities.

Hello,
Good word count. I am guessing this is about aliens.... a different take on our present crisis. I believe the news reporters. The only person I don't believe is the stupid president.

This is very interesting and very well thought out. You're absolutely right. We have made a mess of everything since we've been in charge. We've raped and pillaged this planet of its natural resources, polluted the oceans, displaced and caused species of animals to die or become extinct. I know that we've hated and warred, and infected each other without cause instead of walking in love with each other. Yeah, I think that you're right. Our time is about up. Thanks for sharing this inspirational and well written work. Well done!

I think this is a good entry for the 200 Word Story writing prompt.
This sci-fi story is well told and clear.
Well done and I wish you good luck with the contest.

That's one way of looking at the virus . . . and its aftermath.
I suspect you're right--mankind is probably to blame. Yes, we've mucked up the natural order of things. But I doubt there's any superior force
ready to lower the doom on us. Our demise will be more like the 'death of a thousand cuts--and completely self-inflicted.
Best of luck with the voters.
Peace, Lee

You make several valid points, Mystery Author. Will we ever know what and who caused this covid-19? Maybe, but the blame game will continue. Your lines read well with great attention to detail. There's good flow to your story, too. Thanks for sharing and best wishes. Respectfully, Jan

Appreciate the review. Asking other members to upgrade your membership is actually against site policy.
Comment from Bill Schott
This story, Eve of Destruction, pretty much puts the kibosh on getting out of this epidemic with the whole skin. This narration pretty much condemns the human race for shortsightedness and being a punk.
Is it --- I've grown wary of waiting.
or ------ I've grown weary of waiting.
