WhatWhyHow???

This year, I set myself the foolish task of trying to write something every day, and what you see here is the result. None of this is finished, polished, or in any way good. It's usually a few lines at the end of the day when I'm tired, my head's broken, and this nonsense spills out of it onto the page. Feel free to comment away, and if you think anything has any potential then let me know and I might have a go at working on it further.

But hang on, where's the first month? You've ripped us off! I hear you say... Well, yes. I have been writing since the beginning of January, but it's taken me a while to get the blog up, so everything here is a month old.

The End

How will it end?
With the last bee's dying breath?
When there's nothing left in the hive?
With the last woman desperately seeking
The last man alive?
With a spot of atom splitting
(Weather permitting)
On the shores of Hinckley Point?
Or a meteorite in the middle of the night
Knocking the earth out of joint?
Or maybe a war we're too well prepared for,
The victor's the first to the button,
Or will one half starve while the other laughs
And feeds the planet-sized glutton?
Fire? Flood? Tornado? Mud?
Will the ground open up and swallow us?
Whatever we find, I hope the next in line
Don't decide to follow us.
