Beyond the Apocalypse
Everything functions in a cycle, be it an ant, bird, lion, human, or even a celestial body. This cycle initiates with one's birth and governs one's end, yet there exists the potential to surpass it.

Thunder rumbled ominously, punctuated by sporadic bursts of lightning that seared the ground.
The ferocity of the lightning strikes was not to be underestimated. Their speed was near-instantaneous, making evasion futile.
