Love at the End @sonofremi

Hey there my fellow hivians, this my inkwell prompt for this week, I hope you have a wonderful new year. The story may be sad but I enjoyed writing it. Let me not spoil the fun. ENJOY.

In this life we are always focused on superficial things, we stare at our phones all the day we don’t take time to appreciate nature, our head are always down we fall to notice the next person beside us, people sit down on tables and prefer to interact with there devices than the person in front of them. The human being is always living in pursuit of something, be it a new job or a new house or a dream car. It makes us fail to take in the fact that we are the only living being in the universe where there is life and appreciate the gift the creator has given us.

Thomas thought all these as he stared at the news headline in the Television in the company’s general office, everybody just stood motionless staring at the screen. CNN had just announced that in 7 days to New year, an asteroid the size of the moon will crash into the earth, they were basically saying that this was the end as it is, people started to scream, some started to cry, one of the security guards took a chair and threw it into the glass window and there was chaos in the air as people try to get home to their families. But Thomas stood there and stared blankly at the television realizing that he had wasted his life.

Thomas went to college and left his dream to be a musician as his mother told t him that music wasn't a career that would make you live a comfortable life. So he left his dreams to make it big in the music industry and followed his mother’s advice, he finished college and got a job on wall street and had just recently paid off his student loans and started making alot of money that gave him a comfortable life, but he still felt empty inside, because of the nature of his work he never had the time to fall in love or pursue his dream of being televised as he sang an original song, his work made him lose most of his friends because he didn’t have time for leisure activities. Funny right and the world was ending in seven days. He walked home that day in the midst of the chaos that day, on the street people broke into nearby stores and made away with sneakers and some took hold of game consoles but Thomas walked home with his hands in his pockets as he couldn’t believe that this was actually the end.
