Heat rolled over me and stung the inside of
my nose. I covered my nose and mouth and blinked ash out of my
eyelashes, unable to understand what was happening. Turning to face
the source of heat and light, I shielded my eyes and stepped
forward.

DC was on fire. Every last bit of it burned,
and gaping holes punctuated the cityscape where there was no fire.
The walls on which I stood were black, with much of them crumbled.
I took in the destruction, awed by its scope, and began searching
the ribbons for signs of life.

There were none. The fire gave off three
ribbons and everything else two, as if the entirety of the
population had been destroyed, along with the buildings.

This can’t be real.
I turned away, towards the darkness stretching
outside the walls of DC as far as I could see. Smoke gagged me, and
I moved towards the outer edge of the wall. My attention followed
the twisting smoke towards the sky.

No moon.

No stars.

The skies were filled with nothingness I’d
seen once before in my life, in a vision of my past.

“What’s happening?” I asked aloud, praying
someone would answer.

No one was left alive to respond. I turned
all the way around again, and then I froze when I saw someone else
before me.

Adonis. His form was ghostly, faint and
varying shades of black, white and gray. He stood a meter from me,
not moving, watching with sadness in his gaze.

Brilliant light spread across the distant
horizon, bright enough to draw my gaze. Orange flames arced into
the sky from the earth and began to spread, devouring everything in
their paths as they raced towards the city. Behind it, nothingness
swallowed the ashes, chasing the flames and consuming
everything.

“Mismatch!” I cried, facing him again.

His ghostly form was gone. I was completely
alone.

DC burned behind me, and ahead of me, the
rest of the world was exploding into fire.
