Time. Nothing can stop it, reverse it, or even slow it down. It's an indestructible force that pushes on without a care for the lives surrounding it. Time is a ruthless enemy. Eventually, time destroys everything. I know this more than most. I have lost everything. 
 
 I wished for time to stop when the human race made first contact with alien life. I desperately pleaded when the Earth started burning. Time kept flowing, disregarding the travesty that was occurring. Then, just like that, humanity was snuffed out. My tears were the only signs that life in the solar system had ever existed. The Earth was gone. 
 
 I've often been confused about the direction of my anger since then. I never felt much hatred towards the strange alien race who were the downfall of man. After all, they were living, sentient beings too. My sense of anger seemed to be directed inward. At myself, and at the passage of time. If I could go back, rewind the clock... But it's too late now. Time has moved on. I hate time because it was the passage of of it, not some alien race which destroyed everything I knew. I can not curse them, only the slow, brutal passage of time. 
 
 Yet, there is one thing time can not take away from me. My love for humanity. My love for all that once was good in the world. I still have my memories, I remember burning moments of passion, grief, joy in all of them. Time will never destroy my love for the things that once were.
