Grey clouds assenting
The eclipse has begun
As the sun turns red behind the moon
And as everyone looks in wonder

The ground shakes
People fall to the ground
Trees fall over at the roots
Homes are collapsing

Max a 15 year-old girl screams for her life
Her mother has been crushed by a falling tree
Tears falling down her face
Those silent tears for her mother

The earth begins to crack open
This signifies the beginning of the end
Cars fall into the giant crack in the middle of the town
And no one hears her scream

Max is alone
Scared
And hoping for one thing
That death would come swiftly
If that was meant to be


Darkness closes in around her
Her green eyes to dry to cry
Voice to horse to scream
Her pale limbs to sore to move

The wind wiping Max's long red hair around her face

Max curls up on the ground
Waiting for death to show up
The ground gaps wider and wider
Welcoming her to nothingness

And as she falls she whispers a final word
                       goodbye
