The babbling heads on the television have the same plastered expression on no matter what they talk about. Train derailed, politician caught cheating, it’s all the same to them. Some channels have gone to hysterics and religion, but the one that is on now is showing graphics and damage assessments, trying to rationalize the situation. The terms like extinction level and planet killer have been tossed around a lot. I came to this bar to not be alone in the end, but it is empty. Society has unraveled much faster than they planned. Pretty much overnight. It was interesting to me at first but, the longer I watched the realization came to me. In seven days, none of this will matter.
