Telling the story in short

If you are reading this, an apocalypse has ended our struggles. Yours have just begun.

What have you heard? The universe never ends. It is only our individual worlds that collapse around us. Tic tock.

The end is not as dramatic as a boom. Time simply wears away the stonewalls that surround our souls. Erosion is slow but ever steady. It is as effective as any explosion.

Chaos is time ending, or is it?
If you cannot find the beginning, where will we find the finish line. 

Short tales can still have sad endings.
