I'm sitting there alone on a park bench with nothing but the fading remnants of my thoughts and dreams for company when the bomb finally goes off. There are children who are still playing on the swings, people are walking their dogs too. A little way down the path a couple are walking, holding hands, probably on their first date.
On the pond, ducks and swans are competing for space with the model boat enthusiasts. Underneath the shady Oak trees a family is bonding over a picnic lunch.
And this is the way the world ends.
No countdown timer, no ticking clock, nothing visible to defuse. It's the ultimate weapon.
You can't disarm what you can't see.
When it happens it's the biggest bang since the first one.

And yet all around me they carry on with their lives as though nothing has changed for them,...
