Destiny

Today I was fired by a very frightened man. Ejected from the premises in great haste, along the dark corridor and out into harsh reality; my head spinning.

Destiny carried me across the cratered surface, stark, sterile and unmistakably man made. Mother Nature wept silently.

A stench unimaginable filled the air; a toxic mixture of fear, death, decay and hopelessness. The putrid pinnacle of mindless human endeavour.

Closer and closer now; the thud of two destinies; welcome release from rat infested misery.

I entered just beneath the eye, an eye filled with a look of courageous acceptance. Our journeys complete.
