When the light went out

When everything is dark, the light should show up, however, the light would not show up that time, would not arrive the morning and evening would be the master of all the known, for a dog named dog would be more difficult to distinguish the colors that were lost, due to its black and white view, he would never reach the variety of colors representatives of the emotions, which in those days were lost, no, for Dog, everything was normal, although the behavior of others did not agree. That was how its search for answers begins, knowing a little known animal but very intelligent, was the day March 21 that Dog would meet with Owl, on its nest in the tree, who with his wisdom would help him to understand the situation, a situation that would lead too many to a bad ending. The dog after a long talk with the Owl, asked himself why people lament so much of this end, the Owl preached “for the people is different than for us, they come to give a possible meaning to their lives, it may not be true and may vary depending on its type, but it is very important for them, keep what they can lose, their lives, even for someone like you or me who lack the meaning and importance of this potentially and that possibly we never had anything to lose, we are indifferent”. The dog knew that was the end of all things known, but he still asked himself the same question: Why worry about something inexplicable and inevitably? One need to live the life to the limit and as it passes, we should not create false expectations, we need to go with the flow, do not drown in it. What took the dog to spend his last days on the Earth in an indifferent manner to what was going on, the light was gone, yes, but for someone who was never able to observe in all its glory, this was irrelevant. The next thing that happens would be something that would mark his life. Without light, everything went into chaos, the electric energy was not enough to maintain the world population, this was the reason that it collapsed. The seas kept their waters, but the plants that were supposed to get energy from the sun, died, and that affected the delicate food chain that governed at that time. The dog asked himself, to what extent the human has now ceased to evolve and began to adapt to the environment for him instead of adapting to it. He knew that the fault lay in all living things that had caused so much damage to our world. The dog knew the end was near, but that does not stop him from seeing things, as they were, black and white.
