Sun Out
Milemarker
When the sun went out nobody noticed.
It took a couple of months for winter not to end.
It took a couple of years to get colder and colder,
Until people began to panic and demand an explanation.
And then the scientific community convened and decreed that the human race was done,
And though we all still had time to bear children, none of them would live to see 21.
And it was just going to get colder and colder and colder and colder and colder from here on out.
The lake of limbs had frozen over.
No one ever, ever thought this day would come.
It's getting harder and hard to die of natural causes.
If you make it you'll be one of the last ones.
The sun has gone down for the last time.
There will be no moon tonight.
It's over.
