Time was Ending
Waves of energy grew in intensity as
their propagation ceased. Layer after layer of reality melted away
as each person's perspective was seared in that impossible moment.
Minds echoed with a thousand songs, struggling to make something out
of the shapeless vision that was gifted to them all.
Some saw the world in ruins. Others
saw it as the dawning of a unique and special day. Buildings fell as
ideas were shattered and the familiar disintegrated into a worthless
mist.
Those that saw it coming had acted.
The ran to the safe houses, now surrounded by strange and futuristic
technology to those few that looked closely in those last moments.
Warnings had been given in abundance,
with strange and exotic radiation perplexing the scientists, and
dreams and visions given to the populace at large. They were, of
course, linked almost immediately and dismissed by the majority.
When the signs grew greater, they were
harder to ignore. Fruit falling from trees, then just as it hit the
ground, it would shoot back up again and reattached itself to the
branch. This was documented, but again dismissed as a trick of
clever editing.
Videos began appearing in prominent and
well guarded places with no explanation. These would show the events
of the next few days and invariably, they would come true.
Very few people could handle this level
of intensity. Most reverted to survivalists, denying everything they
were seeing, hearing, feeling and touching. They stayed in their
safe locations, expounding in themselves everything they once
expected and pretending that everything else wasn't happening.
Those that could handle the oddness
were treated to many surprising and strange wonders. Meeting their
future selves with strange and enigmatic gifts. Power sources, food,
clothing, instructional materials, and distractions for the rest of
the crowds that couldn't handle the real situation.
In a few days they would see strange
rifts, go through them, and fulfil what they already saw.
