100 Words: Once peculiar scenes after the end of the world

Trafalgar Square empty of humans and pigeons alike.

Disneyland lawns overgrown and irregular, weeds dotted here and there.

The Eiffel Tower invisible against the night sky.

Motorways and freeways, junctions and turnpikes, clear from beginning to end.

Church and tower bells ring for no one, bring nothing at all to congregate.

The Sphinx once more buried in sand.

A single flower sprouts from the centre of a pathway on the Great Wall of China.


CCTV cameras stare blindly across these once peculiar scenes; and all that remains waits for evolution to start up once more. 

Until then, their world crumbles.
