"Time for us to depart, angel."

A carriage drawn by spectral steeds emerges from the smog.

Two beings travel the ravaged lands of the earth, weighted with glorious purpose. 

A hand emerges from the darkened shadows of the coach to caress the swollen belly of his beloved.

She looks out of the window at the barren landscape that lies before her.

"The world is your garden."

The End?
