Comments on 'The End'The end of the world was nigh and we all knew it. It wasn’t something we didn’t see coming. They foretold it for years – we’d lived too hard, pushed too far, caught on too late. Those who could leave had already gone, and the rest of us were left to record earth’s last gasps, which no one would ever read.
It was surprising to me, at least, how civil we remained right up until the end. The sky was as red as an apple, even at noon. The clouds were a deep purple. It was pretty if you could forget that this was the end of it all and may be the last thing we’d ever see.2008-07-12T03:32:50Zhttp://ficlets.com/feed/story/1Comment on The End<p>I only “stumbled” onto this piece because of your recent ficlet, with the contrary title.<br />Interesting, beautiful, emotional, descriptive…pretty much what we all strive for on this site with each post. Basically, you did a superb job of setting an example for us to follow. I’m pretty grateful that such a beginning, and such a place ever came into existence. Right on, Kev.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/1?basename=791222008-07-12T03:32:50Z[ wall.doll ]http://ficlets.com/authors/mimi_dreamsComment on The End<p>I love that people keep stumbling over this one. I still love it.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/1?basename=788942008-07-11T12:03:15ZKevin Lawverhttp://ficlets.com/authors/kevin_lawverComment on The End<p>Wow, nice ficlet.</p>

<p>This is a great ficlet. It is ironic that the furst ficlet is about “The End.”</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/1?basename=788592008-07-11T03:59:14ZPunkinhttp://ficlets.com/authors/user_2537Comment on The End<p>Huh.</p>
<p>The first Ficlet.</p>
<p>This should be given a permanent spot on the Most Popular column!</p>
<p>And, naturally, Kevin was the first ficleteer!</p>
<p>I wonder what the second ficlet is…</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/1?basename=785812008-07-10T16:11:59ZOrangeOreoshttp://ficlets.com/authors/orangeoreosComment on The End<p>I didn’t know this existed until now. Duh, I should have realized this by typing in “1” after stories/, but I didn’t realize it until John Perkins pointed it out. Interesting, that the first ficlet is about the end of the world. That’s one cool pic, by the way.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/1?basename=778082008-07-08T23:58:55ZAna Cristinahttp://ficlets.com/authors/asimon78Comment on The End<p>This was indeed the very first ficlet.
