‘And so the day I always knew was coming is right here now.’

Mac looked out into the darkness.

‘If you are reading this then you should know that we tried. We really did.’

Mac paused and a small tear began to form in his tired eye.

‘I suppose it was always the case that an old man and a young child would be no match for all the evil that the world has never seen.’

Mac smiled.

‘When the inevitable darkness comes for you, please be assured that it wasn’t the whole world that surrendered.’
