No Do Overs

It is quiet. Very quiet. No guns. No screaming. The horizon is dotted with piles of rusting metal. Razors wire rolls over the plain like tumbleweeds. You could call it a peaceful day, but peaceful would imply people actively engaging in a lack of hostilities, which isn’t the case. There is peace because there aren’t any people left to raise a ruckus. The last two are over there, yup the two skeletons with their hands around each other’s throats. I guess if everyone is gone the word peace like all the other words wouldn’t mean much to the circling birds.

an much to the circling birds.
