The nothingness was even more palpable than the deafening silence that permeated the blinding foggy vastness. Where life once teemed all around there was now only stillness and empty spaces. Where foot prints once tread across the expansive lands there was now only whispers as the winds had swept them away. There was nothing green or growing...no people or animals. There were no birds or reptiles...fish or whales. There was nothing left but the ardent hint of what might have been. It was once thought that this was the world's end...it wasn't...just another civilization gone again.
