01.01.2080 - The End
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." - George Santayana, The Life of Reason, 1905. For Kayleigh Fraser's The Micro-Fiction Challenge.
Light years away, they watched and waited. Aware mankind would continue ignoring mistakes of its past, that hate leads to hate. They had the solution in their mind’s eyes, but never put love and kindness into practice. So, marked the date 01.01.2080 and set a course for our blue planet.
