Darkness.
A single flame.
A bigger flame.
A huge flame.
An inferno.
.
A tree guard lifted its head.
Who had caused such a chaos?
Such destruction?
It would never find out.
Fire and wood like each other to much.
.
A beehive.
In total panic.
Trying to safe their queen.
They would not succed.
A ghost wasted away their live forces.
.
A swarm of birds.
The most loveliest of calls.
Of peace and friendship.
Every last one landed to listen.
Listen to the human with the book.
Every last one died.
.
A Gobbler.
Some berries.
A bearded man with a stick.
A stick with a red end.
Since when do sticks shoot fire?
.
A tallbird.
Minding its own business.
Watching its egg.
Spiders.
Why spiders?
Spiders spiders everywhere.
Gone the bird and gone the egg.
.
A pig village.
Building their civilisation.
Who knows, maybe in a few centuries?
Full language? More balanced social structure?
Maybe even freedom from the were – curse?
How great will their future be?
Maybe the strong man and the red haired women can tell.
After all, they thought it worthless enough to erase it forever.
.
A Koalefant felt a sharp sting.
A dart?
It spun around.
There was the perpetrator.
A human with a strangely white face.
No they seemed harmless enough.
But maybe… maybe those strange colourful floating thingies did it.
Bang.
A cry of rage.
Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang…
If it could still think, it would notice its mistake.
.
Rabbits.
Hundreds of rabbits.
Thousands of rabbits.
A carrot.
A stick in the way.
No way out.
An axe, constantly complaining, rabbits aren't wood.
No more rabbit.
A new carrot.
A new stick.
.
EMPATHY MODULE NOT RESPONDING!
A cry.
Turned whine.
Cut off midway.
.
The world fell silent.
Then screams for help.
Then angry lash outs.
Hounds.
Frog rains.
Krampus.
Forest fires.
Storms.
Lightning strikes.
Then more efficient methods.
Winter.
Cold.
Hunger.
Deerclops.
Summer.
Heat.
Burning bases.
.
In the end, when nothing helped, there laid a world stripped bare.
A thing, with a thing and another thing, all on top a thing.
The world was no more.
A whimper.
Gone with the last air.
…
Darkness.
A single flame…
