Apocalypse

"Hello? Is anyone here?"

My cracked voice echoed off shattered brick walls. My head throbbed as toxic rain burned my uplifted face. I was the last living soul on Earth, but not for long now.

Whimpering sounded from under a pile of debris. I bent down, yanking away whatever I could. A dust-streaked terrier rolled into my arms, tail weakly wagging. I hugged it close.

No longer alone, we could die smiling.
