The Day of the Comets - Act 1

An advanced party
From many years in the future
Visit a planet called earth
A most barren of features
 
They ascend a steep hill
Like a battle scarred scene
As their receivers locate
Something unseen
 
They scrape the dirt
And uncover a find
Something so old
From a different time
 
Surveillance over
They head back to their ship
To set out again
Once they re-equip
 
The items they found
In particular on that hill
With their modern technology
They hear a historical chill
 
They sit in angst
At the words they hear
From a few centuries ago
A voice in fear
 
 
  As i stood on the porch
  Over looking the valley
  I start to view the comets
  As i await earths finale
 
 
To know what happened, please read " The Day of the Comets - Act 2 "
