How much warning would we have? Would there be a way to escape? Would everyone be thrown into terror, or would they calmly accept the fact that they're all going to die?
In their last moments, will we be able to see a person's
true nature? Will the Earth go down together as one, or will there be some people who will trample over others in order to try to survive?
And if the world were to end in seconds, where will you be? Will you be by my side until the very end? And what will we say to each other? While all around us the world is weeping, will we say "Thank you," for all the time we've spent here?
How will we end?
Will the world end in light, or darkness?
Will it be resisted, or accepted?
Will it be the end of life, or the beginning of life?
The beginning of the end, or the end of the beginning?
And will it be the Earth's decision to end our lives, or will it be our own?
How long will it be until the world begins again?
Only a few centuries until life forms appear, if our destruction is small enough?
Or billions of years, if we are completely obliterated?
Will we be able to leave behind traces of us for the future? And what will they think of us? Will history repeat itself? Will they make the same mistakes that we did? Or will they learn from out deaths? But how can they, if we leave no trace? And so they're doomed, just as we're doomed from the infinite number of rebirths before us.

Even when the while is a period of a boring subject in class.
What we have here are the questions, or better, worries anyone might have about the future, or better, a disaster that may be waiting for us in future.
This writing, especially with every sentence, except for the last one, being a question, resemble most, if not all worries that may come up to ones mind while thinking about the end of the world, how and when it may happen and, what I thought to be very important aswell as impressive, how humanity will react to it then.
I liked the last part the most, where the artist came to wonder if there will be a new beginning afterwards, and how it would look like, without us.
I also have to mention that =Astar-Shadow also added a little personal note by putting the old school the end in a rather uncommon font.
After all, I liked this perspective piece of literature for its philosophical parts. Because no one knows how and when it´ll happen.
The only thing that we can be sure of is that it will happen eventually...
... and so, =Astar-Shadow sends her readers wondering how...
