Nightfall By Howie Good

Nightfall

Your body begins to tremble like it’s not yours anymore. You can’t hear the person next to you.
You're looking around and you're seeing ruin. At some point you must figure out, “OK, this is
real, this isn’t.” You're in a country that is dissolving because of XY and Z. Embers of darkness
come swirling down. You think, “I’m going to drown,” “I’m going to die,” “I’m going to lose
everything.” You feel your brain is wider than the sky. You probably have fantasies of China, too.
It’s beautiful, isn’t it?
