Audition- The End

My Audition Piece-

*~*~*

The End

The end of the world. Everyone imagined it differently.

Some thought the world would split into pieces and drift away into space, forever lost. Others thought we would pollute it and that it would just float around after humans became extinct. And others thought some natural disaster would destroy our home. Yet no one ever predicted how it would all really go down.

The year is 2056 and I'm the last person left on the earth. I've lasted this long, but I'll be gone soon. The earth has almost completely disappeared.

From where I stand I can see the stars and planets clearly. It seems as if it’s always night; day went missing years ago.

My oxygen tank is almost empty, the pointer wavering near the E. Death will come after me soon.

I'm sitting on the last piece of Earth, all other fragments lost. Behind me the Hijacker, as I've learned to call it, eats away at the last chunk of ground.

This 'Hijacker' isn't a person or a thing; it started out as a spot. So simple. Just one spot on the earth where everything started to crumble. Bits of sand would vanish into thin air and no one knew where they went.

Soon it started to take the gravel and tiny rocks; they'd simply be there one second and the next they'd be gone.

Next it took the water, and that was a sight. Waves of water just floating in the sky above your head until they flew away into space, never to be seen again.

After that scientists started conserving oxygen, not knowing what the Hijacker would take next. It was sucked from the air and put into compressed tanks. I own the last one, which is about to cease to exist.

I turn to watch as the Hijacker completes its mission. The ground fades to dust and gets chomped to pieces so small they are only specks, if they're even that lucky.

This monster is what I've been running from my entire life. Everyone else, they got scared, locked themselves in their homes and cellars. But that's not how this destroyer works. It keeps moving, consuming everything in its path.

When the sand and gravel and water and everything else disappeared it started on the ground, what was left of the earth, and every single particle seemed to disperse and get sent into space. Specks of my old friends and family still float around space, exploring the universe with unseeing eyes.

All that's left of the earth is a rectangle about 20 feet wide and 10 feet long. There's nowhere else to run.

The earth continues to surrender to the Hijacker and soon I'm standing on practically nothing. The Hijacker comes for me at all sides.

I look down at my hands and watch as my skin cracks silently and starts to drift away.

It starts at my fingertips and the ends of my hair, unraveling me piece by piece. Colored flecks are the next to go, my shirt and pants fading to nothing.

As it starts on my face I breath in one last breath, using the very last of my oxygen, and smell the nothingness.

Surprisingly, it doesn't hurt. I feel absolutely nothing as this beast picks me apart.

I am nothing.

My eyes are the last to go, unlike all the rest. The rest of them were undone from the top down.

How evil is this creature, forcing me to see the end of the earth?

It doesn't matter anyway. The earth is gone, bits of it traveling through space as I come to an end. My eyes dissolving into nothing but dust.

In a way, I died. The last of the earth falling into orbit.

The end of the earth occurring like no one ever expected.

No crazy termination where everything burns to the ground. No earthquakes ripping the world apart. Nothing like that, only a quiet, peaceful finish to the beautiful planet we call Earth.
