They
Difficult to say if, now that everything is over, I'm a better man.
I don't know where you all were on that faithful night, somewhere safe I guess or you wouldn't be here listening. I was hospitalised (if you can call the padded cell of a shrink clinic just that) after falling down from a hectic life, a fall aggravated by the liquor, pills , dope and God knows what else. Sure I could describe you the hell I was going through then, but it would appear bleak in comparison to what they have done to us. But we are comparing stories here, so I'm not going to babble about a life we can never ever go back to.
The day before, the shrinks had started a new treatment, but I took it bad. I turned ugly against the nurses, the furniture and myself. That's why I was sedated in the padded room, when they came. So when I managed to free myself, they were already gone and I had missed what they did to our world. I only saw the results when the haze lifted from my brain and from the devastation around me. I would never have believed that destruction in such a small timeframe and on such a large scale to be possible. Cultivated fields turned into blistering ash, towns are now heaps of nondescript rubble. Roads are fragmented beyond recognition. The glowing pits and sickening dust are the only things left to mark where once proud cities watched over teeming mankind.
Unfortunately, I have to go now, the sun has come up and perhaps I can find food behind the mountains by the sea. You can join me if you want, but I can understand if you're tired, perhaps I'll see you again, who knows.
