*Imagine...

Imagine that the world was ending and you were the only one who knew. No one would listen to you no matter how convincing you tried to be. No matter how much you cried, yelled, screamed. The more people you told, the more people you alienated yourself from. At what point would you stop trying to help everyone? At what point would you convince yourself that you’d done all you could? When would you start believing that the end of the world wouldn’t be so bad?

For Albert it was fifteen years.

For Annie it was two.

Then they met.

Yikes! An apocalyptic tale starring 2 lovers in the last hours of planet Earth as we know it?

These are always so tragic :(

Very interesting premise. And nicely written, too. Is this the start of something larger? It reads like the blurb to a book. Alhough, what does the asterisk mean? Or is that a secret?
