even here
one thousand miles away
ghosts of California fires
shroud the Sun
in horrible beauty

End of Days
A drabble
“I woke up, found soot everywhere and though it was Armageddon.” Cough
“Smoke and ash raining from the sky.”
“And speaking of rain, what about the hurricanes and floods?” Cough
“Yes, it is positively biblical!
“Sun to darkness, moon to blood.” Cough
“All before that great and awesome day when the lord returns.”
“Global warming, pssh.” Cough, cough
“End of days more like.”
“God will punish the wicked.” Cough, cough, cough
Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough…silence.
“Mildred!”
“She’s not breathing! Someone help!”
“No pulse, ma’am.”
“But she’ll miss the rapture.”
“Sorry ma’am.”
