Description
"The Comet" by W. E. B. Du Bois is a short science fiction story first published in 1920 as part of his larger work Darkwater: Voices from Within the Veil. The story explores themes of race, isolation, and human connection through the lens of a catastrophic event. After a comet strikes Earth, two survivors -- a Black man and a white woman -- find themselves alone in what seems to be a deserted city. Through their experience, Du Bois examines societal prejudices, offering a powerful commentary on race and class dynamics in the early 20th century.
