I bring the apocalypse for Day 25.

Red Skies

 

In the morning it came

with crimson clouds

stretching far beyond the sky

In the morning it came

Scarlet beauty raced

across the world’s horizon

In the morning it came

We stared in awe

until the ruby ash fell thick

In the morning it came

 

And the world died.
