Captain's Button

My hand hovers over the button. The button that will end everything. End the pain, the sorrow, the burden. Mine and everyone else's.

The screen in front of me showed an image of a city. Its beauty unparalleled addorning big skyscrapers and the likes. Always Moving. Always busy and full of life. Its inhabitants enjoying each and every day as if everything was fine and the world as they knew it didn't come to an end years ago.

"For them it didn't" I said, my voice harboring a sorrowful tone. Remembering the protocol we had to take. A protocol that ensured everyone's memories to be erased about everything related to what had happened, excluding the captain and mates. "For them, earth is here"

Indeed, inoccence is bliss.
