Y is for Yesterday

by GateGremlyn

Yesterday, I had a home, a job, and a purpose among people I believed in. Yesterday, I also believed my world to be alone in the universe. When the visitors from Earth came to us, I learned how small and sheltered my world is, and how petty. We thought to go to war with a weapon that would kill us all with its power.

Then Doctor Jackson, a scholar like me, went through a window to his death. Yesterday, I learned how hard telling the truth is-because no one would hear it.

Yesterday, I loved my world, and left it.

Yesterday.
