Short stories: Science fiction

are massacred to build more of these weapons of destruction. These spaceships had a mission, they would fly to the sun and blow it up. Why? This made sense to no one.

Around the time this was happening, the sky started to turn red, probably from all the human blood that had gone to waste from people being burned to death. People had lost track of time and you could never tell if it was night or day. Calendars where no longer used and no one knew what year it was anymore.

A beam of sunlight was seen one day shinning threw the dark sky all the way down to a pile of dirt down on earth. People from around started to run towards it. The few that had reached first witnessed everything. A seed fell down this beam of light. It buried itself under the ground and a white flower started to sprout, and all across lush, green grass started to grow and cover up a long lost meadow. Behind the flower, an apple tree had formed from a twig lying on the floor. Then a beautiful woman with long light-brown hair and blue eyes walked over and picked up the flower. She twirled it in her right hand then blew off the petals towards the tree.

Moaning was heard coming from the factories. The machines had stopped working and all the robots had short circuited. The spaceships that proved indestructible by testing them had now started to rust and become worthless. With everything that the evil one once had now gone, he too started to disappear. Slowly he disintegrated into space and what was left of him was a yellow powder. The wind blew this powder far and wide, everywhere it landed the earth started to slowly rejuvenate itself.

Big natural, gray clouds started forming and a storm was unleashed, lasting for the rest of the night up until the morning. When the storm stopped pouring, the sun shone threw the clouds once again, brightening the world. The woman, now happy that her job was done smiled and she turned into what was still missing.
