THE MOMENT
"No way!" Craig gasped.
"It disappeared! Vanished!
The lamppost is gone!"
He pressed it again
to see what happened.
"Wait, that's wrong."
An object was erased;
not the one he faced.
"I think that's mine,"
A woman appeared
next to him and stared.
"You've crossed the line."
"You've learned the truth
about your Earth.
It's just a game.
And you've lost."
