We looked down.

The city had seen better days. Buildings belched up thick plumes of smoke from where roofs once were. Unidentifyable papers formed a near tidal wave as they swept across deserted streets, bathed in a crimson sunrise. The silence only cut out by the screams of the to-be deceased. This was a sci-fi novellist's nightmare come true, a forboding world where only those who could strike their own way survived.

The other man tapped me on the shoulder, to get my attention away from the ruinous streets and towards him. He gestured towards the ruptured stumps of skyscrapers in the distance. "You see all this? Take a good, long, hard look. This, friend, is ours. We are the masters of all we survey." I saw a glimmer of excited glee in his eyes, but his expression and voice was monotone.

I did a slow 360 turn, surveying what was now ours. Windswept streets, with only god-knows-what roaming it. Order a blissful memory, and peace but a reminder of more pleasent times. The smell of suffering reacting with the scent of death, thickening the air almost to the point of unbreathability. Chaos had reigned, and still roamed the streets, preying on the weak.

It was beautiful. I wiped a tear of joy from my eye and smiled to my comrade. "Now, friend, now we rule the world. This... is a new day for mankind. A day when--" I started, but the other man finished for me. "--the meek inherit the earth."

We looked again at our realm, and smirked at the irony of our words. We had not been meek. Not in any sense of the word.
