The world can be a strange place. Scriptures of a far off
doomsday flash before me and I revel in them, disbelieving their content.
The detail of description is alarming though. I imagine
myself, assuming control as the citizens of a broken Earth vacate the place and
leave the whole planet to me. I do not know what I say, but I speak, addressing
those that are left, waiting for me.
Magma bubbles. The crust of the Earth rumbles and fractures.
People wander hopelessly, stumbling, mumbling; society crumbling. However, the
greatest of mankind’s troubles is not rebuilding from the rubble, but shaving
away the stubble of their conscience as they try to make sense of this
nonsense.
I read on.
Everyone in the world needs someone to lean on. Someone to
depend on. Perhaps even someone to dump their wounded friend on, so that they
can flee. But that will never be me. I will never leave that fast that I leave
behind every important part of my past.
Because I have an escape plan; that car has an infinite
number of seats.
And I intend to fill every one of them.
