Writing Exercise - Day 4 - Ring around the star
There was an old prophecy that spoke about the time there will be a ring around the star. People did not know what to make of it.
The prophecy was made by a sage in the Himlayas in the year 1473 to his followers. When this follower came down the village he spoke of the prophecy to everyone he could. He visited the King of Assam and warned him regarding the same.
People were curious at first and the story soon spread across the country. In short the prophecy said something along the lines of death to all living being when the time of the ring around the star comes.
People though initially scared thinking of it, soon began to scoff at the idea.
"How can there be a ring around the star and which star are we even talking about?" They said.
"Besides stars in the sky are so tiny that you might not even notice if a ring appeared around it.", people used to say.
In the year 2020, no one even knew of this prophecy, though it was said that the archived secret section of the Indian national library held an ancient book that spoke of this and how to handle the situation when it does arise. But no one got to it soon enough.
The morning of July 26, 2020 was a weird day. It was Day 0. The Sun in the sky had a big ring around it. It almost looked as if it was parted in the middle.
People were curious. News channels interviewed every scientist who they could get hold off to have an opinion. By the end of the week there were 20 theories about this. Each made you believe what they had to say.
The sunset on Day 66 marked the end of the planet earth. Sun exploded. The heat burned people to black ash. Every living thing on this planet had been laid to rest in a second.
Not quite.
The secret facility of Bangalore research center had built an underground facility expecting something similar to this to happen as they had very closely observed the changes happening with sun for a very long time now.
There were 4 survivors.
