Night the FirstIt was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way...
"We have everything for anything we want to do," proclaimed the optimist to his friend, "and all the time in the world to do it." The two men, survivors of the recent nuclear war, were walking down the remains of West Street in New York City. They were headed for a meeting of the survivors that was supposed to start just before sunset.
The two men trudged along the broken concrete path. All of the buildings had been flattened, twisted, or otherwise mutilated into some form that made their original purpose indiscernible in the setting sun's sinister shadows.
However, most were simply reduced to a pile of melted steel and broken glass.
"We have the power to mold the future!" exclaimed the optimist. The other man remained silent. After a month of scavenging the ruins of the once-great city, the pessimist wish the optimist would shut up. He was grateful that he had been in the subway system when the bombs dropped, but the "New World" the optimist often described wasn't much to his liking.
The two men were getting close to the meeting place. It was time to act.
The pessimist slowed his walk. The optimist continued ahead. The pessimist fingered his knife.
***
The last survivor arrived at the twilight meeting. No one noticed they were one man short. It didn't seem to affect anything. It didn't really matter.
The group dispersed as the sun dipped below the horizon. The survivors had only left the meeting, but the night had just begun.
