If the world was ending, you would come over right?

Days seem unmoving. The weather hasn't changed in a while. The sun looks a bit dimmer than it used to. News is shaking more than the ground was supposed to. We are left in these cage rooms, maybe for a minimum time, but who knows!

Getting you inside, slamming the door, wearing those old boots, would you help me tie up the laces? Noises all around the neighborhood, skyscrapers turning down to ashes, sirens all around the city, ambulances covering the view through my windows, and I grab you by your wrist and push ourselves under the dinner table which was once our favorite place for communication.

And few intimacies were just verbal adjectives to portray the situation simultaneously.
