NECROSIS

At the end God destroyed the heavens and the earth. The earth was polluted with sulphur-dioxide and hatred, and selfishness contaminated the face of the deep. And God said, 'Look at this evil.' And the evening and the morning were the trillion and first day. And God saw that it was bad.

And God's gaze sounded the upper firmament, crowded with the junk of satellites. And the evening and the morning were the trillion and second day of cosmic disaster.

And God watched vegetation wilting, plants sterilised by radiation, fruit trees exfoliated. And God saw that it was bad. And the evening and the morning were the trillion and third day.

And God's eyes were obscured by toxic smog so that there was no longer a divide between day and night. And God saw that it was bad. And the evening and the morning were the trillion and fourth day.

And God scanned waters choked by algae, scummed by detergent, with their swarms of dying creatures, their birds floating in dumped oil. And God saw that it was bad. And He cursed His creatures saying, 'Be barren and dwindle, and empty the waters in the seas, and let the birds drop dying to the earth.' And the evening and the morning were the trillion and fifth day.

And God said, 'Let the earth lose its plague of living creatures according to their kinds: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth by BSE and fungus and virus according to their kinds. Man and woman, no longer in My image, have abused their dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. They have subdued the earth and subjugated it.' And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very bad. And the evening and the morning were the trillion and sixth day.

And on the trillion and seventh day God obliterated His creation.
