Sometimes I can't tell if I'm facing the end of the day or the end of the world
When I wrote this there were forest fires all over Alberta and B.C. You could barely see past the buildings in your immediate line of sight. It was as things had ceased to exist or had begun to be erased. Remember in Back to the Future when Marty McFly starts screwing up and the chances of his parents getting together grow slimmer and slimmer and his siblings start slowly disappearing from the family portrait? It was similar to that, but instead of one person it's everything. Basically time felt like it was being erased. To make matters worse, the day that the smoke was the worst, the power went out at the exact same time that the power went out in the major cities on the East Coast. The big mouths who claimed to know everything were spewing theories of nuclear holocaust. My roommate had filled the bathtub up, just in case the water was cut off. I was plotting which stores I was going to pull smash and grabs on first. It was a crisis on infinite earths.
