Kevin Haggerty #7 - End Of The World 2 (Shelley's Warning)

It was barely ironic when the breaking news made its way into the neuro-implants affixed to every human’s brainstem from birth.  The increasing efforts to maximize technological capabilities had taken the turn that ambitious authors had been scheming since the birth of Science Fiction.  Therefore, it was only appropriate that when the Global News Network announced our downfall that they called it Frankenstein’s Monster.  The cause arrived from the very same ailments that the good doctor had suffered himself.  Although brilliant, man had never truly learned to coexist with one another.  While some ran searching for some random refuge where they could avoid the impending carnage for a few more hours, most just stood outside and watched as the thousands of satellites once in orbit began plummeting down to earth.
