“They branded me crazy.” His wife hissed from the sofa. “Said my predictions had no place in the science world and were based on the hallucinations of a mad woman.” He turned and looked at her, now knowing all her ranting the past year, had been her speaking the truth.
He had humoured her and paid the extravagate fear to put in lead lined glass, their house now a fortress against the radiation building outside. He had followed all her demands in the building of their home. No price was too high for the peace of mind of the ones he loved. Now as he watched the events unfold, just as she had predicted; the high price of the ten foot electric fence didn’t seem so big. In fact if it did what she said it would do, then it would be worth every dollar.
“I believed you my love.” He replied looking back out at the amber world below. “I did all you asked of me and because of you we are safe.”
His wife rose from the sofa and crossed to his side following his gaze to the creatures below. “They are not mutation because of the radiation.” She pointed up to the star.” This is an invasion, a takeover. They turned our sun against us.” He looked back at her, the amber light from outside reflecting in her jade eyes. “I fear we only prolong our demise, we are not meant to survive this.” She stated coldly.
