I typed out the last of my report on my lap top. I had been working for nine hours straight to get this shit done on time. I'm a bit of a procrastinator.
As i typed out the last sentence i reached down to my plate of fried chicken. Frowning when my hand found none. "Damn." I grumbled, grabbing my knife instead. I had an obnoxious piece of chicken stuck in my teeth any how.
Using the tip of the knife I half mindedly used it as a toothpick.
"Save and send." I spoke happily. Just as the chicken became unwedged. I smiled and sucked at my teeth, revelling in that feeling you get after getting something out of your teeth.
I turned in my rolly chair to face a corkboard on the wall. A photo of my Ex pinned to it. Before i gripped the blade and flung it at it. It struck in right between the eyes. I grinned and double fist pumped. Hopping up from my seat to stroll leisurely into the kitchen. Humming casually as i searched my fridge for food. "Too hot, hot damn." I muttered absentmindedly to my humming, grabbing a thing of ice cream and shutting the door with my hips. "Make a dragon wanna retire man."
I grabbed my phone off the table before flopping into my bed. I had three missed calls. I rolled my eyes. It was my friend Natasha. I clicked the voicemail and listened in.
"Hey Sabrina just letting you know we have a total of three hours before the new season of Red vs Blue comes out." I scoffed.
Red vs Blue, i didn't see what she liked so much about it. Sure, i didn't mind watching it, but she was positively obsessed. She lately has been forcing me to watch it. I'm currently on the last episode of season 10. Though, i did REALLY like the freelancer series. Mostly that Agent Washington guy. He was pretty hot. Even though I've never actually seen his face.
"So that means, you need to get started on finishing Ten! Also! Tonight's the night of the meteor shower! Be ready for that, take lots of pictures. Luv you Sabrina,i gotta go now though. Duty calls! Though I'll call you before the shower. Bye!"
The meteor shower! I had totally forgotten. Natasha, is an astrologist she works up at this big 'Nasa' lookin place. I can't remember what it's called, to many words, the acronym for it though was B.A.D.W.O.L.F. (Doctor who does NOT tie in.)
She had been going on for months about how a meteor shower,along with an Asteroid would be passing the earth. And how it was the 'EVENT OF THE CENTURY' According to her research its going to be bigger than the one that took out the dinosaurs.
I took my phone out and pulled up the Rooster Teeth website, and played the last one of Season ten, 'Don't Say It.' While laying back with my tub of Mint Chocolate chip ice cream. Tonight's looking to be a pretty good night.
I sniffled, tears in my eyes. That was a beautiful episode. Then there was the post credits scene with Allison, saying she hates goodbyes. God who knew that This show could get that deep. I think i see how Nat is obsessed with it.
I glance at my empty ice cream tub and sigh. Staring at my ceiling for a moment. I let a smirk slip onto my face at the sight of all the knives stuck there. I get bored sometimes.
Glancing over at my alarm clock the big red numbers read 3:47. Almost time for the Meteor shower.
I got off my bed and walked towards my balcony door. I was on the 12th story of my apt. Complex. I gazed out at the sky, The milky way shone brightly. "Woah."
Now i know why Nat's an astrologist. The sight was breath taking.
'I'M THE HIGHWAY TO HELL.' My phone started rining,i looked down. Hey speak of the devil.
"Hey Nat, wh-"
"Sabrina where are you?"
"Um out on my balcony, why?" I answered simply, still gazing up at the stars.
"Sabrina somethings wrong." She sounds stressed I notice. I sigh
"Yeah? What's that? Start your period?" I'm trying to lighten the the mood a bit but she doesn't laugh.
"Sai, I'm serious. The readings are going off the scales." I switch my weight to my other leg as i continue watching the stars. I smile as i see the first meteor. Cascading down like a shooting star.
"Nat calm down, look the showers starting."
No answer.
"Nat? NAT!."
"What? Yeah I'm here hold on Sabrina." I hear talking in the background. And frantic voices. Nat's talking to someone.
"That's impossible! Check again! I don't care. Bryan check it again. Wait what's that? Jean, zoom in on that there? Oh my god."
"What, Nat? Nat what's happening?" As i ask audible booms could be echo around the city. "What the fuck?" I look out across the city as chunks started losing power going dark. More booms as my sector went dead.
"Sai, are you still there?"
"Yeah I'm here, what's going on? Everything just went dark? Is the city shutting the power off so we can watch the shower?" I look at the now dark landscape, cars headlights shining brightly, i could faintly hear honking and angry yelling people.
"Sabrina. It's not the city."
"What? How do you mean?"
"I mean, this blackout. Is global.."
"Wait, how is that possible Nat?"
"*static* -ference from a secondary *static* -eroid."
"What? Sorry i didn't get that."
"Sabrina, there's a second asteroid. We didn't see it before. *Static* -the other one. It changed it's course and velocity." I looked up at the sky, seeing faintly a large object, it looked to be heading across the sky. More meteors were falling by now, it really was a beautiful sight.
I opened my camera up, leaving the call on. And started filming.
"Nat, what was that? You keep cutting out."
"Sai, there's a second asteroid! It hit the first and changed its course. *static* you."
"Wait, changed its course? How? Nat?"
"*static* Sabrina, I love you. *static* *Beep*"
I looked down at my phone it was still recording but the call cut out. I frowned. "What did she mean?" I muttered to myself. I turned my camera back up to the vivid show above my head. White firey streaks flew across the starry sky in a spectacular display.
As i watched i noticed the object from earlier, except it was much bigger now. About half the size of the moon. I smiled life was amazing sometimes.
I made sure to pan the camera around the entire skyscape. Thinking maybe i could copy and sell the video later.
Then my smile faltered.
The asteroid in the sky. It was getting bigger, but it wasn't going past us. It's, it's heading straight for us.
I realized in shock. I brought my hand to my mouth in horror as it got steadily bigger and bigger, now at least four times the size of the moon.
I heard screams from the city below as other people were coming to the realization as well. I felt hot tears rolling down my face, i didn't realize i was crying.
"Oh my god. No no."
"It was blocking out half the sky now. It was beyond massive. It was. It's it's just.
It's the end.
I realized in horror. This. This is it. The end of days.
I fell to my knees and started to hyperventilate. There was a lump in my throat i couldn't breathe around.
"No god, please no." I whispered in vain.
It was taking up the entire sky now, black as night. With firey streaks starting to appear as it entered the atmosphere.
I got to my feet the horror of what is happening right before my eyes as the wall of rock comes barreling down.
I scream, not a scream of pain. Or of fear. But, a primal scream, one for help. Though i know none will come.
I run into my apartment as everything comes crashing down.
For a moment as i run, time stops. And i think back on my life. And how little I've done with it. I remember things from my childhood, my first day at school, meeting Nat. Nat, i never got to say goodbye. Or tell her i loved her too. I remember the day my parents died, when my boyfriend broke up with me. Everything. And then.
With a blinding flash. Nothing.
Roses are red
And violets are blue.
One day we'll cruise down
Blood Gulch avenue
It's red versus red
and blue versus blue
It's I against I
and me against you
