Death had never considered Earth’s destruction a tragedy.
It was a shame, certainly.
All of Humanity’s progress… Gone before it ever had a chance to truly flourish.
It was sad.
But it wasn’t tragic.
It wasn’t.
Until he saw, first-hand, what Earth’s loss meant to the one human who was left behind at the end of everything.
He should never have let you accompany him through that portal.
Truthfully, the Horseman knows you would never have taken no for an answer, yet he still has to wonder whether it would have been kinder to leave you behind in Lost Light with Nathaniel and the Archon, because when you stumbled like a new-born foal out of the portal behind him and took in your first glimpse of the ruined Earth, Death had to witness the horror of it with insight into your perspective.
It unsettled him, in a way, to see how abruptly you crumpled to your knees like a marionette cut loose from its strings, abandoned on the cold, wet asphalt by an uncaring puppeteer. Your devastation was… tangible. Death could feel it riding the airwaves whilst you knelt at the epicentre of your own growing storm.
Like something very important had just broken off inside of you and there was nothing that could ever fix it back into place.

I cannot for the life of me remember what I wrote this for, but I came back to my other laptop after 3 months and found this drabble open in the Word doc, lol.

Every problem implies its own solution. However, often it takes setting aside our preferences in order to see it.

This thought provoking, unflinching 2020 documentary about the psychology of Donald Trump is a must see (especially for those that support him). Four years later and what was revealed in this documentary is even more poignant.
It’s discouraging that the people who need to watch it won't.
The entire doc is available on Amazon and Apple TV.

NASA's InSight mission to Mars helped scientists map out Mars' internal structure, including the size and composition of its core, and provided general hints about its tumultuous formation.
But findings from a new paper, titled "Geophysical evidence for an enriched molten silicate layer above Mars' core," published in the journal Nature could lead to reanalysis of that data. An international team of researchers discovered the presence of a molten silicate layer overlying Mars' metallic core—providing new insights into how Mars formed, evolved and became the barren planet it is today.
Published on October 25, 2023, the team's paper details the use of seismic data to locate and identify a thin layer of molten silicates (rock-forming minerals that make up the crust and mantle of Mars and Earth) lying between the Martian mantle and core. With the discovery of this molten layer, the researchers determined that Mars' core is both denser and smaller than previous estimates, a conclusion that better aligns with other geophysical data and analysis of Martian meteorites.
