Title: The End of the World
Character: Mr. Smith, Erin Kaufman
Words: 181
Prompt: any, any, on the day the world ends, that night the stars shine brighter then ever
:::
"What are you doing here, Erin?" Slightly worried, Smith stepped closer. "It's a cold night."
The young woman turned around. "I was looking for some time alone. It's so peaceful out here. The stars, the moon. Can you imagine a more beautiful place?" She sighed. "I just wonder how long the peace will still last. Most people living in the Mountain are unaware of the danger they are in. Markus is doing his best to keep them safe, but he thinks a war with the skinheads is inevitable. This can be the end of everything good he has been fighting for for fifteen years."
Smith kept quiet, listening to a voice only he could hear. When he turned back to Erin, he smiled. "God says: On the day the world ends, that night the stars shine brighter then ever."
She blinked, slightly confused, and looked up to the sky. The stars were gone, hidden behind thick clouds. And she relaxed. Maybe there still was time. The world wouldn't end today, and tomorrow, Markus might find a way to avoid the downfall.
