The end of the world came after the end of the world.
Everyone upstairs was dead but inside and downstairs.
worms lived.
Just the worms and their monsters and slaves.
Stupid things of no value.
The nuclear war
did not make enough glass
The universe sent sand to rip away
the atmosphere and make more glass.
It would keep the worms inside.
With no atmosphere and the world becoming
lop-sided ,volcanoes and earth quakes
were soon helping to make the glass.
Many worm bunkers destroyed
and all worms now blind.
They would never get out now.
The glass is all black but it sparkles.
The worms don't get to see it.
Nor have they any luck left.
Everything is breaking,its dark.
Everyone is screaming.
They don't see the new heavier
sparkling glass world,pulling on the moon.
Too bad they won't see it.
Its amazing.

I like this, but I don't really understand it...what's up with the glass? I do think it's good, but I'm gonna need some help to understand it all.
Much Love and Keep Writing,
