LJ Idol // Week 8 // First World Problem

The Fate of all Things.


The slow decay of time shall creep beneath our world.

At the coming of the end, the dead will all be dead alike.

 

(Everything ends the same.)




[A child gazes out on a cold London street.
She is not allowed outside.]


What do you fear, little girl?


View from a window: The Ruins of Detroit
[There is a whole city beneath your feet.]



 

[This place is our prison; its cells are the bars.]


You cannot imagine a world other than this.
[She is afraid of the guns.]



It is the little things that matter.

 

Derelict Ballroom: The Ruins of Detroit
[In the ballroom of of the Lee Plaza Hotel the bones of a grand piano wait to be played.
There will be no more dancing here.]


The slow decay of time shall creep beneath our world.
 
At the coming of the end, the dead will all be dead alike.
 
 
[No one will remember the greatness of the human race.]


Everything ends the same.
