ENDINGS
Living day to day, the passing of years went unnoticed. Before the vampires had realized it centuries had passed. Inventions had come and gone. Space travel a reality. Some of their kind tried space travel and settled on different colonies. The transplanted vampires lived for two or three decades then died. Since no one knew of their presence in the colony, no one knew why they died. There were just over one hundred humans left on earth and only two vampires. Soon those remaining humans were scheduled to leave. The asteroid would hit earth's atmosphere within the next two weeks. All attempts to divert its course or blow it up in distant space failed. Scientists speculated as to the make up of this oversized rock being thrown at earth. Perhaps when things cooled down on the abused planet, a future team of scientists would be able to analyze the remains and come up with the answer. For now it was accepted that good old Terra was doomed and be thankful that there were so many human colonies all over the know universe.
Henry and Vicki had just completed their last meal of human blood. The ship was scheduled to leave in two days. The remaining humans had a final picnic. So did the vampires.
They were sitting out in the open under the bright night sky looking at stars and wondering which ones had colonies. Henry placed his arm around Vicki's waist and said, "How do you want to end?"
Vicki rested her head on his shoulder, "Some great choices we have. Waiting for the rock to hit, sitting in the sun, sneaking on a ship and postponing the inevitable. I'll leave the choice to you."
Henry looked out over the night sky. "Well we don't have to choose tonight." He kissed her saying, "Let's use the rest of this night for loving."
Vicki sighed, "That's the choice. Love each other until the end."
