Apocalypse
Silence, nothing,
Clicks heard.
Light appears,
Drifting towards it.
Watching, waiting,
Curiosity pulling me closer.
Suddenly, fire,
Everywhere, burning.
Watching, waiting,
Silence, crackling fire.
Then something pierces the air,
Screams, loud and shrill.
People running,
Trapped in the circle of fire.
Heat, fire closing in on us,
Burning everything in sight.
Fire climbs onto us,
Pain, searing pain.
More screams,
More burning flesh.
Then, after so long, silence,
Never ending darkness.
Nothing left, all of it gone,
Everything has ended.
