A Cockroach on Remnants of Humanity

In the distance, a city decaying beneath a dying Sun. Between the city and the nearby scene are bleak fields dotted with malnourished trees and ugly foliage, all parasitized by pervasive and sprawling weeds, gulping their yoke.

The wind is tainted with the odors of ascendant vermin.

A cockroach mounts debris. With robot like motion it paces to the top and stands motionless for a time. Every now and then, its antennae drift lazily in the air. It moves forward slowly by a small stretch. Now, its silhouette frames the distant city. All that it is and ever has been is tasked by the unhappy Sun.
