They had never known such horror before, but when it happened, it devastated them all. The strange object that had entered their world had suddenly become the last bastion of hope in a desperate attempt at survival. They clung to it with all their strength. Who would be the next to finally fatigue and let go, to be sent screaming to their doom?
They all watched as countless others shot towards the surface, only to explode violently there. They all watched as one by one, the bubbles they were with lost their grips and went toward the same fate. They all watched as friends and family were obliterated.
Why? Why was this happening? What force, or god, or entity could possibly be so cruel as to doom them to this fate? For what purpose? For what reason?
They would never know, and on that horrible day, the screams were endless. |
