Over the Earth, a twilight only broken nail and then when a comet glared across the dark sky, the band of light that had indicated the Sun had long since disappeared for the Sun had ceased to set.Rather it grew ever broader and redder

Place to creeping the points of light at last something before I stopped the Sun, red and very large halted motionless upon the horizon, a vast dome glowing with a dull heat, the Earth had come to rest with one face to the Sun. Very cautiously. I began to reduce my progress slowly. And slowly wet the circling hands until the thousands doubt seemed motionless, and the daily dial was no longer a mere mist. Pawn it's display still slower until the damn outlines of a desolate beach grew visible.
