NEW YEAR AND AN APOCALYPSE

l decided to look at the window again, though I'm concerned of what I may see,

Would they find me out? Is there even anywhere to flee?

I gulped then parted the curtains, then opened my eyes slowly,

Behold! The world be damned! This year still seems to be our enemy.

Their eyes I noticed were lifeless,

And their skin were gray and frail,

Despite it I fear them nonetheless,

I tell you this isn't just a tale.

I checked my phone again, and prayed my very best,

Please Lord have mercy on me, tell me It's all just a test...

And in a pinch of luck my phone buzzed,

And I quickly checked it out without a fuzz!

No other choice but to fight, eh?

So we're on our own now,

But l wonder for how many days...
