Today.

Today, the mountainous rock's hum ceased without serenity. 

And today the Enclaira Sky became disjointed above our heads. 
Strides lengthened, today, as man's habitual wanderings became insignificant. 
A warning chastised "Today was foretold as humanity's finale long ago and all we have done is carelessly scatter it into history." echoed corrupt words. 
Children clung to hips, "Today? Why?" they wailed as the Ketian moon crumbled upon their sanctuary. 
Skies darkened while civilizations silenced, today defaced the end. Rock's thundered a cacophonous farewell, "today, today, today," they crashed down earthen slopes as the breathing essence was suffocated within the shadow. 
Stability collapsed indefinitely as humanity's concepts were re-molded; 
today became nevermore."
