DISCLAIMER: Hahaha, yeah RIGHT!
SUMMARY: The alien colonization is taking place, Scully's cancer has
come back, and it's aaaaaaaall gone to hell.


Mulder looked from the bed of his ailing wife to outside the window,
wondering how long it would be until images of death and famine
greeted him, instead of the neighborhood that met his eyes now, the
only clue of what was happening the lack of children playing, and the
haunted looks of the people who walked down the street. Only a few
days, probably.

Would they be able to save themselves once the colonization got there?
Would they want to?

Sighing, he allowed himself another glance at Scully, and tried to
push away the next thought that came to him: would she last until the
colonization came, or would the cancer take her life before the
aliens? Did it really matter anymore?

Mulder fought back the tears that threatened to fall as he walked out
of the room, wondering vaguely whether he should really be surprised
that it had come to this.

The colonization was a few hours away at best.

Her body was thrown unceremoniously into the back yard, denied the
long-honored tradition of a proper burial. Her death went unnoticed;
no one cared about one woman's death when their own was so near.

Mulder sat on the edge of their bed, gun in hand. He would be spared
the painful death the colonization promised. He took one last breath,
put the gun to his head, and ended it all.
