They were just spectators<\/p>\n
At the local Tech Con<\/p>\n
While they checked out VR<\/p>\n
Some sci-guys got their mad on.<\/p>\n
Building shook violently<\/p>\n
People wept silently<\/p>\n
The world changed mightily<\/p>\n
Next thing they knew,<\/p>\n
Everyone was gone.<\/p>\n
Six sole survivors,<\/p>\n
Bottles, food, and lighters<\/p>\n
That’s all they had left,<\/p>\n
They felt rather bereft.<\/p>\n
Exploring around,<\/p>\n
everything was quiet<\/p>\n
Not a single sound.<\/p>\n
Not a single sound.<\/p>\n
Ashes on the ground<\/p>\n
Dead bodies all around<\/p>\n
Gone straight to bone.<\/p>\n
Our heroes’re all alone.<\/p>\n
Thunder rumbles suddenly<\/p>\n
Rain begins to fall<\/p>\n
Pain befalls them all<\/p>\n
Acid instead of water.<\/p>\n
Water is no more.<\/p>\n
Shaking our heroes to the core.<\/p>\n
