Elif Shafak. 10 minutes 38 seconds in this strange world (№ 409700)

When she was still alive, Tequila Leila was always a little surprised and even upset if people talked about the end of the world with great pleasure and obsession. It would seem how a person in their right mind can believe so much in these crazy scenarios: asteroids, meteorites and comets, plunging the planet into chaos? According to Leila, the apocalypse is far from the worst. The likelihood of an instant and complete destruction of civilization is not at all as frightening as the simple realization that the death of an individual person has no effect on the world around him and life will go on as usual - with us from without us. But this, as it always seemed to Leila, is really creepy.
