Endless Nightfall
The daystar fell from view, as the Rushes bent at an awkward angle making one believe there may be a strong breeze, which there was not.
As the warm quickly disappeared behind the falling darkness there came a noise not heard on the planet before.
Extinction does scream when on a scale of such a magnitude as this. Could there never be comfort again?
Would there always be that paranoid need to stay cold and quiet in order to stay alive another day.
For how long would humankind wake up to another sunless, lightless, warm-less day?
Those things descended directly from the monkey trials that now walk the Earth needing not the light or the warmth or the hope of better times. For these new creatures, these are better times!
Is this how the era ends? The once proud rule of the Hu-mans, finally at it’s end, as all knew it would perhaps come.
Would we not adapt with the rest of nature? After all these centuries pointing out our differences and describing ourselves arrogantly to be different than nature, above nature, God like in fact.
Would we now be bathed in the sulfuric acid of our own pompous arrogance?
Can there be no reprieve for the ignorant? The mighty ones that saw nothing good in anything except themselves. Is this justice, vengeance from some higher order intent on putting straight the errors made and left too long undone?
Were we not the first? No, not even close. Those others, did they go the same way? The great reptiles did, and those skeleton like creatures left in the rock so many eons ago as well.
Will the planet renew itself then with another millennia of mindless predators walking the earth without conscience or ambition other then to stay alive and kill?
Then what? Will humans be back once again to repeat their reign over and over until we finally get it right?
In the mean time between then and now, how will we survive those dark warriors whose only thought is to track us relentlessly and hunt us to extinction. What will those few of us do to escape them between now when we are living and then when we are not?
