Ravens Evermore (Original work)

in #fiction7 years ago

Monstrous ravens descended from a tumultuous midnight sky, and before morning they had pecked the eyes out of all the humans on Earth.

They swooped down in millions of vast flocks, as far as the eye could see. The frightening sound of the incessant flapping of their wings was deafening.
A blanket of black chaos surrounded the planet, breaking through windows of buildings, homes, and cars. Nothing could stop them. Nothing…

After their savage attacks, all the pathetic beings had been blinded.

Before their vision no longer existed, most people were only sightless within the hollow chambers of their self- serving minds. Where beautiful eyes once were, only hollow sockets remained. The ravenous ravens feasted on the warm, juicy eyes.

And then they attacked the humans, ripping away their bloodied flesh, and devouring the bodies with sharp dagger beaks.

There was no escaping the black birds of death. Many had crawled in unimaginable pain, others flailed their arms, attempting to fend them off. Their efforts were futile, as blood painted what remained, billions of skeletons scattered, and broken everywhere. Some entombed in stone churches, where they had been enjoying midnight masses.

The world had become a burial place for decaying bones. The multitudes of tiny insects, and the other animals, had their lost planet back. No longer would they have to fear the humans, or run away from their stupidity and selfishness.

They came before us, and then they survived, and we didn’t.

The circle of life had returned to its primeval state. Was it Darwin’s revenge, survival of the fittest? Or was it God’s angry hands upon us?
No, of course not silly. It was Satan.

And that is how the end of it all happened.
