"THE LAST NIGHT OF THE WORLD"
|
|
by THE GNN/DualCrew-Shining/uXu
|
|
|
|
"I should have been a pair of ragged claws
|
|
scuttling across the floors of silent seas..."
|
|
(T.S. Eliot)
|
|
|
|
|
|
The last night of the world.
|
|
It was the last night of freedom. The stars had company by the
|
|
impressive fire ball that was the comet of Proteus. It emerged from
|
|
nowhere, a sensation in astronomy and it headed towards Earth. Crowds of
|
|
scientist, well-educated men who ruled the world, discovered it and placed
|
|
another rock on the pile of scientific progress. Eyes stared into japanese
|
|
monitors, fingers typed fast on keyboards, modern high-tech calculations
|
|
were made. People wanted to know details. Newspapers dug them up and
|
|
presented them. Everything was new, the comet of Proteus was a sensation.
|
|
Someone dropped a pen, and bent down with shaking hands to pick it up.
|
|
The dream of knowledge turned into a nightmare. Proteus was not a friendly
|
|
visitor that came by to say hello. The hot rock, engulfed in gases had no
|
|
life, but were on its way to stop the entire world from rotating. It was
|
|
on its way to the solar system. The sun would grab it and drag it into
|
|
itself. Planet Earth happened to be in the way. All scientific data had
|
|
the same message: Doomsday was here. In the early morning of seventh
|
|
july, there would be no more Earth.
|
|
How do you tell a child that its parents are dead? How do you tell the
|
|
population of Earth that nothing meant anything any more? Well-educated
|
|
men stood up and explained. They were not sorry; they simply explained the
|
|
cold hard facts. This was a scientific discovery, a result of sharp minds.
|
|
Warm air expands, molecules moves quickly under pressure, light is a
|
|
mixture of matter and waves, Proteus was going to crush planet Earth.
|
|
There was no place for free will, everything simply happens and we have to
|
|
accept it. Our work is based upon analyzing how thing happen, not why they
|
|
happen. Proteus is nothing more than bad luck. No one sent it to kill us.
|
|
It will just happen. In four days. This is the facts, take them. If
|
|
you leave them, you are blind.
|
|
There was nothing more to fight for. Prisoners were released from jail,
|
|
the government left their briefcases at work and walked home. Everybody
|
|
waited for anarchy in the streets. As if it would matter. But there was
|
|
no violence any more. Guns pointed downward, below the hot sun in the
|
|
arabian desert. Enemies looked at enemies and turned their back at each
|
|
other. Dirty faces in the jungle placed their weapons on the ground and
|
|
left the bunkers. Street-smart gang members did not care any more.
|
|
Big city, full of life. In four days, blown to pieces and spread over
|
|
space, the last frontier. Countries, held together by invisible powers
|
|
that had created border lines and complex economical structures was not
|
|
there any more. Society had been a secure prison built of playing cards
|
|
that now fell to the floor and vanished.
|
|
Call your mother, you have not done it for four years. Talk to her.
|
|
Apologize to your neighbor. Move back to the house by the mill that you
|
|
had to leave because your money was gone. Read the book. Think. Think
|
|
about what you really did with your life. Think of all the things you
|
|
planned to do in life and realize how much of it that was actually
|
|
worthless. Why did you want to educate yourself to become a brick in the
|
|
game, play the game well and earn money? Earn money, become something and
|
|
earn money. Die with your coffin filled to the limit with dollars.
|
|
This was the last night of the world. No television, only a few radio
|
|
stations with calm voices who talked about nothing and played music. The
|
|
streets were filled with people who watched the sky. Proteus looked down
|
|
on them. What if he can think too? some wondered. Father time was no
|
|
longer a friend. He had become Death who rolled on his skates and laughed.
|
|
Faster, death thought. Faster! The last global problem was how to slow
|
|
down time. Stop the clocks! Do nothing! Get bored! Try to cheat Father
|
|
time!
|
|
How could any one do that? It was no longer nations and races who
|
|
snatched the latest news. It was only humans, people and individuals who
|
|
slowly and humble thought about the meaning of life while waiting.
|
|
Waiting for Proteus. Even Proteus was not seen as an enemy. Proteus was
|
|
a simple comet, that flew through deep space. It had no history, it was
|
|
just there. Bad luck.
|
|
Where was all the expected hysteria? Where was the violence? Where was
|
|
judgement day, filled with confessions and rage?
|
|
For the first time, people finally got the answer. The expectations had
|
|
been made by everybody, for everybody else. They will do it, I will not.
|
|
They will become mad, I will not. They will fall to their knees and beg
|
|
for mercy, I will not. I am a rational human being, I accept the results
|
|
of the scientific progress. They will not. I know best. Or do I?
|
|
It seems like I do not.
|
|
The last night fell. The sun disappeared to never return over the
|
|
horizon again. The thick black darkness was kept away with white cold
|
|
lights from lamp-posts and neon signs. For the first time in modern time,
|
|
the modern rational human beings, raised their heads and watched the sky
|
|
while thinking and analyzing dogmatic and philosophical questions. Science
|
|
had suddenly turned out to be without meaning in real life. This was real
|
|
life. The real life come to an end. Scientific problems are forever.
|
|
They do not solve anything in the end. Life, is worth living. We, the
|
|
people, are not meant to accept facts without meaning. If we had listened
|
|
to out own thoughts, out lives had been filled with more substance. We
|
|
were born to listen to what others say. What they said was important
|
|
became important for us. Now is that not so any more. Now, when we
|
|
finally released ourselves from the chains of pseudo-problems, we can start
|
|
a new beginning. But now it is too late to live. Proteus is coming down
|
|
to stop us. Maybe we owe the comet a lot. Without it, we had been chained
|
|
for the rest of our lives. Now we can free our imagination, even if it is
|
|
for only one night.
|
|
|
|
But.
|
|
|
|
Proteus never came. The next day it appeared that the comet missed
|
|
planet Earth with a range that was too far away to be hazardous. The sun
|
|
entered the sky from the horizon as if nothing had happened. Nothing had
|
|
happened. It was a new day. Everything was ready to be explained.
|
|
It took more than two years before everything went back to a normal state
|
|
again. The invisible hand slowly grabbed the population. Countries,
|
|
governments and violence returned. People lowered their heads. The
|
|
meaning of life was once again replaced with a thirst for more money.
|
|
Science threw another stone to the pile of progress.
|
|
Blushing individuals quickly placed their dogmatic and philosophical
|
|
questions in the darkest closet. The door was closed to hopefully never be
|
|
opened again.
|
|
If not Proteus returns once again.
