Cold Planet

My child pointed at the view screen She asked: papa, why does that planet look so cold? The cold was prelude to a darker time. The cold stays there and lingers to warn all not go enter, as they would never leave alive. This sad story about the fate of humankind Alternate realities converge sometimes But on that planet there five hundred years ago A race of people lost faith in all they know Now a place of damnation where the humans left can never die Greed, survival and conquest all built on lies! A crack in the fabric of time itself Created a passage to a living hell One reality saw that to survive The other reality could not exist and no one could be left alive. It was the duty of every man and woman to dispose of themselves and any offspring on the other side So when there was only one reality left All the people left suffered a never ending lingering death All those people had in fact committed a kind of suicide All those people left alive were somehow dead inside and all the people they had killed were in them somehow still alive!
