The Night Slowly Came
#WritcoStoryPrompt45
Write a story based on this famous excerpt from The Night Slowly Came by Kate Chopin:

I am losing my interest in human beings; in the significance of their lives and their actions. Someone has said it is better to study one man than ten books. I want neither books nor men; they make me suffer…

... Watching how they insistently squabble over things that should be available to all. Thinking, somehow... No, Indoctrinated to believe they need these things to better themselves and their lives, when in fact, they are killing them.
Oh, how naive is the human spirit because of it's own self awareness being manipulated to serve something other than itself.
Whether it be good or bad, there is only two ways to look at it...
We are either Evil or Righteous.
There is no grey area. To be without empathy or regard for life when it is taken away, is an
evil by it's own standard. To stand and witness horrible things being done, but to remain the silent observer with no interaction,
makes one an accomplice to the crime.
They will grumble when things get worse, oh yes!...
