Boran saw a rat scuttle across the filthy floor of the infirmary. Boran rubbed the perspiration from his pale face. Was it over, or was it just beginning? Boran clenched his only fist and swiped at the mirror that was in the room, as it cracked he saw the room reflected at least xii times, but no reflection.

Tyler glared at him coldly and finally whispered Armageddon.Darkness enveloped the earth it was like the entire world had been covered by a huge blanket. People stared up in both disbelief and fear.

The darkness seemed impenetrable.The body of Boran fell to the ground and Tyler opened his own eyes. An icy chill ran through him. It was over. Weve won. The world is ours.
