The Day They Left

After a decade long war between the world's allies and enemies, the outcome has long devastated the planet into a lifeless halt. The cold nuclear bombs bursted through the atmosphere causing globe catastrophe and mass extinction of both humans and animals alike. As a last resort the humans have decided to desert their home, Earth, and decided on interstellar traveling for a new abode. On the fateful day of their departure they've concluded on leaving the animals on Earth, to die. While this is taking place, a small zoo in Connecticut still survives through the dusty ruble. As the final space shuttle blasts into the skies stratosphere, a small Goeldi's Monkey closely peers through the small cage of his dwelling place and views the last human leaving. This is 'The Day The Left'.
