This work explores catastrophic themes through a narrative that reflects the anxieties of the impending 20th century, examining the possible end of the world through societal conflicts and celestial phenomena. The early chapters introduce a world teetering on the brink of disaster, filled with tension arising from political turmoil, military build-ups, and ominous astronomical signs, hinting at the collapse of civilization. The opening of the narrative presents a bleak and foreboding atmosphere, where the late summer of 1899 is marked by a mysterious astronomical event—the delayed rising of the sun—sparking public fear and speculation of a potential global catastrophe. Characters include a young blonde girl and her grandmother, who navigate emotional turmoil and existential dread as the world around them transforms under the shadow of an approaching comet. As reverberations of societal tension and a looming world crisis are felt, the city streets are filled with anxious crowds. This section sets the stage for a profound exploration of humanity's vulnerability, resilience, and the hope for salvation in the face of overwhelming despair.
