They were just spectators

At the local Tech Con

While they checked out VR

Some sci-guys got their mad on.

Building shook violently

People wept silently

The world changed mightily

Next thing they knew,

Everyone was gone.

Six sole survivors,

Bottles, food, and lighters

That’s all they had left,

They felt rather bereft.

Exploring around,

everything was quiet

Not a single sound.

Not a single sound.

Ashes on the ground

Dead bodies all around

Gone straight to bone.

Our heroes’re all alone.

Thunder rumbles suddenly

Rain begins to fall

Pain befalls them all

Acid instead of water.

Water is no more.

Shaking our heroes to the core.
