The Shattering


Your voice rolls through every speaker in every dome. Earth is gone. It has been gone for a hundred years.

By dawn, the agri-domes burn. The false Earth-flag lies trampled beside those who defended it. You walk the silent corridors alone, ash in your hair, truth heavy as a stone in your chest.

You gave them honesty. They could not hold it.
