The preeminent scientist runs outside
Outside sounds like a Depeche Mode song
But it is nothing more than choir boys exploding overhead
Everyone is dead
She tries to ask a cop for help
But he is dead
She tries to ask the ice cream man for help
Telepathically he replies the Choco Tacos are $2.50
But he is dead
She steals one and ignores his telepathic complaints
‘I am out of control. I hate my shower curtains’ she thinks to herself
In her apartment she turns on the TV
The newsman says
‘Everyone is dead
The time has come to tear down Paradise and put up a parking lot’
An unknowable force crushes the preeminent scientist
She sees herself in post-apocalyptic Sesame Street
Elmo has been sodomized and is thrown into a fire to keep the other Muppets warm
‘This must be heaven’ she thinks to herself
As Elmo screams in agony she thinks about her life
Thinks about all the things she’s done for a Klondike Bar
She regrets nothing
