The Happenings of the Unexplained Adumbration

It was a dark and stormy night, every night.

For 2 years now, it has been that way. Not a single ray, glimmer, radiation, gleam, glint, glow, or twinkle of light, absolute nothingness. I wasn’t even sure how such a thing could happen. Astronomers and scientists had predicted we had at least another century. Well, that was until Astriedes came. Astriedes, the astronomical nickname given to the asteroid that caused a cataclysm of an entire solar system.

2 years ago, an absolutely colossal asteroid was sighted outside of our solar system. Far bigger than any we had ever seen. It was at least three times the size of our Sun, and it was predicted that it would simply pass, no collision, nearly 100% certainty, they said. Well nearly 100% was obviously not 100%. The asteroid's course began to change drastically and wildly, for completely unbeknownst reasons. Predictions of the new course began to differ across the world, and it was clear that no one had a perfect answer. Society began to clamor and panic. Economies crashed and cities were fled. Highways were hampered and people were filled with dread. It would seem as though the societal apocalypse had begun before the physical one started. As everyone frenzied and crazed, the asteroid began to come closer and closer to our solar system.

            Terribly, it was heading towards the center of our solar system, and the center of life, the Sun. “The ramifications of the impact, or possibly the destruction of our Sun are indescribably calamitous”, scientists reported. As if the hysteria that was taking place was not enough, this only fueled the fire into an inferno.
            Honestly though, it didn’t matter that humanity was panicking, that reporters were reporting, or anything else, not anymore.
            On the evening of August 7^th, 2032, Astriedes pulverized the Sun into a puny pile of nothingness. The Sun was unconditionally annihilated. Since light travels at a speed and is not an instantaneous transmission, light from the Sun continued to hit Earth, and no one knew about the collision until about 15 minutes afterwards, when a scientist peered into his infrared telescope and saw the end of the solar system.
            Now, I live out my days on the edge of survival, buried underground in the depths of this cold, desolated planet, where it is so cold that if you even step foot outside you are instantly frozen. I’m nearly out of supplies, and I fear that the extinction of the human race and Earth has materialized.
