The sky was pitch black a few minutes ago,
But now it was pierced by splashes of yellow light,
The splashes almost looked like fireworks,
Yet I knew what they really were,
They weren’t the signs of celebration,
They were a harbinger of death,
Each one was a meteor, visible from thousands of miles out,
By the time they reached Earth’s atmosphere they would block out the sky,
I had been warned this moment would come,
I did not heed the warning,
I thought I was going insane,
Hearing a voice in my head,
It called itself God,
It said that it wanted to punish Earth for its sins,
Hate, Narcissism, Greed, War
It also said I had the chance to save myself and the planet
I never answered, I only tried to shut the voice out,
As the meteors came closer,
I heard the voice in my head again,
“Do you want to save yourself and your people?”
