on life's doorstep

"For a year I'd been preparing to see only black for eternity."

Henry is your typical depressed, middle-aged man who works a boring 9-5 office job and wears the same wrinkly white shirt every day of the week.

Everything is normal, except for one thing.

It's his last day on earth.

With a fatal meteor expected to hit and destroy the planet, we follow Henry's point of view through his last day alive.

He's taken everything for granted. How will he handle knowing he's wasted his life away being apathetic to everything?
