Joel was always a fan of the sunrise. Having to get up early for work before the apocalypse meant that he was able to spare a few minutes for himself. The coffee would brew and he would sit in his favorite chair, the one right by the window, watching the sky erupt with colors that felt like a piece of museum-worthy art. He loved it most when the paintings on the canvas holding the clouds were a mix of oranges and pinks, the constant hope of the day welcoming him.
Then the world went to, well, hell.
