    Orange

    Orange is the last color seen as the world burns around the narrator. People accept their fate and lie down in the streets as a man evaporates beside them. The narrator remains kneeling as the ground shakes, apologizing without prayer while the dominant sun spreads over the horizon above the ruins.

    Orange

    by Gabriela Lee
    Orange is the last color to flood your vision. Before this, you are able to see the tall dark
    silhouettes of the buildings around you, the wide avenues lined with smoldering branches of trees,
    the empty windows staring at you in judgement. You meet their gaze. This is your fault.
    Before orange, you see red and yellow and shadows as people lie down on the streets and
    accept the burning of the world. A man evaporates beside you. (Ashes to ashes, dust to stardust.)
    The ground shakes beneath your feet, forcing to your knees. No prayer comes to your lips; only an
    apology. Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry. Above the ruins, the dominant sun spreads his arms,
    encompassing the horizon.
    You never close your eyes.
