End-of-the-world


25

The end came
In the middle of the night
When a lone scientist

Realized that something
Had gone monstrously wrong
The earth was slowly
Closing its daily rotation
Around the sun

Within months
Half the world
Lay in permanent darkness
Half the world
Lay in perpetual sunshine

Billions were displace
Desperate to find
The way to safety

But there was nowhere to hide
The world came to an end
And people moved on
