Chaos

We had no time to prepare. Just lucky we were on the outskirts of the blast’s kill zone; how fortunate we were to have not been vaporized on the spot. Except, come to think of it, more than a few of us have daydreamed of switching places with the dead at this point.

Death is Finality.

Death is the end.


Death,

Death is Rebirth,

Death is the start...
