Black Out (24690 #3)

by A.A. Dark

Be careful who you get close to. Trust slowly. Listen eagerly. Talk only when you believe in what you have to say, and only if you know it to be the truth. Never break your word to those loyal to you, but never believe loyalty is unbreakable. It is our friends that will be the first to hurt us. React gracefully. You’re a Davenport. Someone is always watching. The way the world sees you is a mirror of how you see yourself. Let them see nothing but love. Then, when they’re not looking…drop the match and burn them to the ground.”

Seven and a half billion people on the planet, each experiencing a mass of emotions due to actions they could or could not control. It was the cause of miracles…of genocide. Emotion controlled everything, especially us.

Overall, none mattered. Nothing existed for me but twenty-four-six-ninety.

Emotions. Perhaps they were the downfall of us all.
