They used to say humans are social creatures. "They!"
There is no "they" now. I never realized how much I depended on their blanket definitions, advice, even as I scorned it.
The social aspect is mostly gone now. Does that mean we as creatures will no longer be Human?
All that is left now is a handful of old men bumbling through the broken ruins of a world past riddled with machines who pay us no mind.

I don't know what will happen to me, or to the rest of us.
I don't know if there are any babies being born, or if love exists.
I don't know where my wife is, my daughter. If their bodies still take up space somewhere on this planet.
Each day I wake up and turn to the watery sun and turn away.
