Second Scars

YEAR: 2031

The dense smoke has made it impossible for people to even breathe, but then there's just the smoke, no sounds, nothing at all. Professor Dmitri Gauges is slowly breathing, his oxygen storage is helping him; he slowly looks up at the roof which is broken, he see the polluted sky, and lets out a little cry. No one had expected this to happen, not even him, all those years of research and studies never foretold him about such an incident ever, he regretted loving science and space, he regretted adoring the celestials and the terrestrials, it had given suffering at the last. He chokes on his oxygen mask, after adjusting it further, he continues to breathe and stare into the sky; he wanted to see if the God, whom he claimed never existed, did really exist!
