Chance rock.

From god knows where.

Chance strike.

Life ending event.

Devastation.

Extinction.

From a past too far for memory.

Except in the rocks.

The memory of the rocks.

The record held tight in layers.

And from the strike awareness.

Awareness growing from the creatures left.

From the toxic ruins of earth.

A tiny creature grew.

Emergence.

New species.

Human life.

Looking up.

Looking out.

Looking in.

Self-knowing.

intelligence.

Human.

Inexplicable.
