At the end, people show what they really are. Remember that.
Math and geography and politics are all as useful as a horn on a plane. Don't you mingle with their business, they were doomed from the very beginning.
I am there, wearing a plain white T, black denim jeans and no shoes. There are no tattoos on my body, no piercings and no augmentations. I'm almost the only human being without a mark on my body... except a few scars and my navel. The two heralds of the truth about this world: it has a start and an end... and it's bloody painful.
Apocalypse is happening right now, darling.
Of course no one expected it, it was foretold many many times. But man is not as clever as he thinks. The signs were obvious, the scripture was there at the reach of anyone faithful enough to predict the end was coming.
First came the plagues, swarming clouds of locusts with black eyes and red jaws. Biologists couldn't explain why it was happening nor could they protect people from the hunger those monsters had. The rivers turned so red you could've swore it was blood. Scientists concluded that it was caused by blood rain, that in time was caused by rain mixing with a scarlet dust composed of vegetable matter. But it wasn't like that. Nobody knew why, in time the seas were also red as blood. Animals began to die, the seas were all dead. As far as the eye could see, there were fishes, whales and all kinds of sea animals floating upside down. The reaper was busy, and enjoying our suffering. Drinkable water began to be rare, many people died from drinking that bloody red liquid. The chaos came and the suicide rate begin to grow fast, then the rain came. That damn red rain that made the forests crumble into dust. Things were harsh for the chosen ones. Just like the first of us at the beginning of things, we were hunted.
Then when things began to look terrible, the dead rose from the grave. Hungry, full of anger and vengeance. Most were too decomposed to walk or even move, but they were alive again. Making sounds or staring at you with glassy eyes. Many living died at their hands, only to come back and spread death around the globe. It was the extinction of the human race as we knew it. No more laws, no more police, not even the families survived. Fathers turned their sons in just to survive the dead and the plagues and all the suffering. I saw it with my own eyes, a mother dropping her baby as she ran for her life. It wasn't something terrible... that was the worst part of it. Everyone was trying to survive, you just did what you could to stay alive. Groups of people tried to survive the dead barricading themselves in fortified houses or little towns, but Death was inevitable.
The Sun went black as the night, darkness covered the earth. The skies were also dead, like an eternal eclipse filled with dark stormy clouds. Of course, it rained death. Nothing survived that.
Except us.
And then after all that suffering and destruction, life started again. It all went away as fast as it came.
And we saw a New World and a New Sun.
We were eternal, we were perfect.
