The news reports didn’t interest me, and so I didn’t pay much attention when they explained how they knew the Sun would die today. However I do understand that this is the end of everything. Everybody was panicking; there was no way we could prevent what was natural. You can’t cheat death.
A million years ago we had conquered human error, computers were at their very beginning and we had a cure for cancer. I heard of something called smoking which people used to get addicted to, but that isn’t a problem nowadays. The things people did wrong back then is no longer, and we as humans have evolved a lot. We can grow to be ten foot long and live until we’re one hundred and fifty. We can hold our breath under water for fifteen minutes. We’re better.
From old maps I have seen and adored, the country Britain is entirely under water, and there are old ruins of the buildings and cities that were abandoned. Half of America is missing; small countries like Thailand and the Hawaiian islands are no longer visible. Only the high land is left, part of Africa, some of Spain and Portugal, most of Asia is visible and a quarter of South America is still above sea level. But now, all of that will freeze, the oceans will freeze, we’ll all freeze. We’ll be a dead planet that maybe, just maybe, will be spotted by alien astronomers. They might land a probe on our planet and examine the surface, it would find frozen bodies and animals, and the probe it self would be more advanced than anything we could ever come up with.
There’s no escaping death. It was going to happen any moment, and I was ready, ready for anything.
I wrote that at school, I might be switching between tenses so could you please point out places that might switch? It's supposed to be past... but any way, reviews are heplful!
