There is a Tapping on the Window

The lights went out.
There is a tapping on the window.
The Gameboy, previously on full charge, dies.
There is a tapping on the window.’
Your phone dies, everything else battery operated switches off.
There is a tapping on the window.
The once lit candle dies out.
There is a… the window cracked.
The only light is the blue glow of the laptop.
Don’t! A man shouts from the Window.
The words on the screen entice you so.
Begging can be heard from the window.
You press the off button on the laptop.
There is no more man.
No more Window.
No more laptop.
No more table.
No more house.
No more ground.

No more you.

“Simulation Terminated, shutting down.”
A Sigh is heard.
“Bring on the next subject. One day someone will get it right.
One day,w e will find the perfect genetic code.”
“Terminate life support for subject #7302491.”

Silence...
