Editor’s Note: Notice the date on this poem (5/24/2018). When Reece Burka wrote this piece, he was alerted that the end of the world is coming. It seems rather fitting now during these times where people are not exactly sure what’s around the corner besides Google searching for new numbers. We hope that pretty soon we’ll all be able to say, “We made it!” as well.
