And It Became Silent

*sigh* and the silence filled to consume the world...each house filled with the mist of quiet...each person stopped to look at the darkness in the sky...no one knew what it was...and then...it was too late to run...the meteor crashed into the earth and knocked it out of orbit...and the silence became eternity...frozen moments of civilization clung to the frosted orb drifting aimlessly in space...a child staring in wonder at the sky...a man and woman holding hands and clinging to each other...and a tear left glittering for all eternity on the cheek of one who never cried...
