He knelt between her legs, entered her with a brutal thrust not even noticing she had slit her own throat. He had already taken two of her daughters, telling her he only wanted sons from her. She'd hidden her skinning knife under the pillow behind her head, resolving to be dead rather continue on in this life. That act of personal liberation sent a synesthetic ripple throughout womanhood across the globe. Within months every female on the planet was dead, by their own volition. Mothers everywhere took their daughters into death with them even while adoring husbands & fathers begged them not to go. The devastation was total - what would they do, left to their own devices now that the female of the human species had gone self-extinct.
