The old woman let the childproof lid drop to the floor and tossed one of the white pills to the back of her mouth, feeling that familiar click on her back teeth. She closed her eyes and swallowed it dry, testing the waters. She attempted to swallow another one but it got caught in the back of her dry throat and began to dissolve, filling her mouth with an unbearable chemical taste.

She placed the bottle back on the table beside the keys to the rusted station wagon out front, picked up a newly emptied rock glass and headed to the kitchen.

The woman fished a nearly empty bottle of vodka out of the freezer and turned it upside down into the glass. It was barely enough to stifle the taste of the pill.

On the couch again she scanned the table in front of her. Her eyes honed in on the prescription bottle once more and she leaned forward with complete certainty, but her outstretched arm was frozen in a moment of unconscious deliberation.

For some reason beyond her she instead picked up the car keys that hadn't been touched for days.

-------------------------------------------------------

The traffic on I-5 looked beautiful and uniform, like blood through a vein. Exits branched off like capillaries slowing the vehicles as they pressed towards their destinations. Sometimes it's chaotic, horrifying. All these metal caskets hurtling through space, inches from disaster. Today was different somehow.

Through the frame of the bus window he shifted focus from one vehicle to another while his hand - seemingly independent of his body - took notes on the experience of seeing without the usual vertigo.

His hand came to a stop mid-sentence and he flipped back to one of the first pages in his small moleskin notebook. Page 7:

"More and more they seem to fade. Faces you don't see anymore. Like something seen in the periphery of a dream. The memory and the idea of it are vivid but it's difficult to stitch together a clear image.
It's like your brain realizes it doesn't need the information as much since you haven't used it in a while and moves it to some deeper place of storage, one that doesn't need upkeep. Eventually that original space gets filled with more recent and recurring things.
When you spend enough time seeing and thinking about a person it becomes ingrained. your brain keeps them alive, a part of you. There is a readily accessible likeness of a person you know. you can see them anytime. But with time the image fades. Less thought reaches it to keep it alive. There are no new experiences to reinforce the old ones.
Time keeps passing. We meet new people, learn new things; but however prominent they are in your thoughts they always fade to make way for new ones.
If the times and faces are fading then what about the importance we attach to them? Does it really stay unchanged when the memories fade away? Is it realistic or necessary to try to hold on to it?
God , I don't know where I'm going here. I think I'm just drunk. I need to go to bed."

He closed the book and stared back out the window. He has recently taken to writing in a journal as much as possible. Even when there was nothing to say he would just write about his surroundings. Anything that made it's way through any of his senses would pour out onto paper as it was experienced.

It seemed to give him a sense of fluidity, like everything flowed through him rather than pouring in and getting stuck. It was a newer - and less destructive than usual - way of chasing those moments of clarity that came every so often. That state of transient appreciation where everything is coming and going and you are part of it all. Free of attachments. Nothing gained, nothing lost.

A few blocks ahead was the bus stop in front of the grocery store. He put his notebook away, checked the seat to make sure he didn't leave anything behind, and pulled the string that signals the bus driver to pull up to the next stop.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

In the checkout line of a grocery store on 17th avenue an old woman stands impatiently clutching a bottle of Popov Vodka. She is third in line. A blonde woman in her early twenties parks her cart behind the old woman. Her two or three year old daughter sits facing her, laughing and banging a lollipop on the cart's handlebar.

The old woman makes the mistake of looking back and accidentally makes eye contact with the young mother.

"Isn't she Beautiful?"

The old woman looks down at the child, who just dropped her candy on the floor and seems to be in a state of shock, seconds from a meltdown. Mom notices this and pulls another sucker from her breast pocket before the child can even process the loss.

"Yes," she considers ignoring her entirely but something wouldn't let her, "yes. she's darling."

She then realizes that she has accepted an invitation to a conversation that will last the remainder of her wait in line.

The old woman's face begins to express a sort of fascinated contempt as this stranger begins rattling on as if they were old friends. Her eye contact and enthusiasm are intrusive and she finds herself drawing her attention to the rack of candy next to the register in retreat.

"Next!" shouts the man at the register to no one in particular.

A kid steps forward and places a bottle of water and two notebooks on the counter.
The old woman glances down at a drink cooler across from the candy display and then back at the bottle of vodka in her arm and - as if to make it seem like the alcohol isn't the only reason she is in line - reaches in to the cooler for a water. This seems to make no difference to the woman behind her, still caught up in a mostly one sided conversation.

"I don't know what it is about today but something just feels right about it. I found a lucky penny this morning. Maybe that's it. I bet you walk outside and find one too. There really are good things everywhere, you just don't see them if you aren't open to it, you know?"

"Pennies, huh?" the old woman inches closer to the checkout counter while the man behind it hands the kid his bag.

"That'll be 7.99."

The kid looks as if he forgot this part of the transaction was coming and, with a little effort, pulls out a wrinkled ten dollar bill and places it on the counter. He gets his change and thanks the cashier but pauses before leaving to look back at the women behind him. He had been listening to their conversation and was reluctant to leave before it was over.

He steps outside and is momentarily blinded by the sunlight. Squinting, he lifts his right hand to shield his eyes and realizes he is still holding his change: two dollar bills and one copper coin.

He takes a look out across the parking lot, actually taking in his surroundings. Cars lined up in neat rows. people pushing carts full of groceries. All of them with their own thoughts and lives completely separate from each other, yet interconnected, crossing paths and making decisions that change the outcomes of countless others without ever knowing it.

Back inside the old woman turns away from the register with her bottle shaped brown paper bag to make her way towards the exit.

The kid bends down and places the single coin on the sidewalk in front of the store's automatic doors before walking to the nearest bench to sit.

A few seconds later the old woman stops in the same spot to let her eyes adjust to the brightness. She looks at the ground to see a small shiny coin in front of her. She picks it up and holds it in her hand to examine it, tilting her open palm in different directions to see the glare of the sunlight on it's surface.

From his seat on the bench the kid sees the woman smile slightly. She laughs to herself quietly and shakes her head as she puts the penny in her pocket and begins walking back to her car.

He watches her disappear into the parking lot before pulling out one of his new notebooks. He locates a pen in his back pocket and begins to write.

refinement: The title seems to be a metaphor for the old woman's loneliness and her need to fill the void in her life. She seems to be lonely and drinking to fill the void in her life. The title also seems to be a reference to the fact that she is lonely and old.

answer: The woman was taking the drugs and contemplating suicide. Her memory about her life is fading, her brain storing more important things. Her sense of appreciation vanishes over thoughts and memories, moving on to new experiences. One such experience stood out, her time in line for groceries. While waiting in line for her drugs, the woman gets caught up in a one-sided conversation with someone. The other person seems to have a good day, without noticing people and events around her. The woman feels the need to get away, see some fresh air, to clear her head because in contrast, her frame of thinking is stifling her everyday life. She just smoked her last cigarette, has one more pill in the bottle and wants to take it now. The title of this short story could mean the woman's life ends sooner than expected because she does something stupid to buy more time for her own life but it ultimately ends anyways because the drugs are finally gone.

This morning, the Patriots are talking dropped passes. Aaron Hernandez had one, Deion Branch had one, but most visibly, Wes Welker was hit in the hands on a long pass that would have extended the Patriots drive with four minutes left. It wasn’t the best throw, but it was catchable, and after the game Tom Brady put it was gently as he could: “missed opportunities.” [jump]

  Gray asked what he was thinking for all those minutes under the towel, staring at that locker room floor.

  “I think it was just the missed opportunities,” Brady said.

  Soon he was ushered into a hallway, off to where the podium waited. He went through a side exit, not the main one where his wife, Gisele Bundchen, the Brazilian supermodel, had been waiting.

  She heard he’d gotten past her and began sprinting – in black boots with three-inch heels – after him. He was 30 yards ahead of her.

  “Tommy,” she shouted. “Tommy! Tommy!”

  He didn’t hear her. She finally plowed through the crowd, the lingerie model throwing elbows until she stopped him in mid-stride and offered a big hug, a kiss and a look into Brady’s still-red eyes. Cameras flashed all around them.

On her way out of Lucas Oil Stadium, Gisele Bundchen was heckled loudly by Giants fans. This is the cost of doing business when you date an athlete. But her ire was reserved for New England’s receiving corps. Waiting for an elevator, Gisele voiced her frustrations, punctuated with a swig from her water(?) bottle. Video from The Insider:

  “You’ve to catch the ball when you’re supposed to catch the ball. My husband cannot fucking throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can’t believe they dropped the ball so many times.”

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Why was Gisele mad at the New England receivers?

answer: Gisele was mad at the New England receivers because they had dropped passes, which prevented the team's drive from extending.

text: While Gisele does criticise the receivers from dropped passes, it's not clear that she is concerned with the team's drive being extended.

refinement: Gisele was mad at the New England receivers because they had dropped numerous passes.

text: The ninth paragraph quotes Gisele as criticising the receivers with '“You’ve to catch the ball when you’re supposed to catch the ball. My husband cannot fucking throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can’t believe they dropped the ball so many times.”

text: The first paragraph describes the game with, 'This morning, the Patriots are talking dropped passes. Aaron Hernandez had one, Deion Branch had one, but most visibly, Wes Welker was hit in the hands on a long pass that would have extended the Patriots drive with four minutes left.'

answer: Because her husband, Tom Brady, can't throw the ball and catch it at the same time, at least not on this day, so they dropped it a lot.

text: It is not so much that she is angry that her husband is unable to throw and catch the ball, as she is at the other players for dropping the passes.

text: The answer requires more clarity on what the receivers dropped.

refinement: Because they dropped passes a lot and failed to catch the balls her husband threw.

text: The ninth paragraph quotes Gisele as criticising the receivers with '“You’ve to catch the ball when you’re supposed to catch the ball. My husband cannot fucking throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can’t believe they dropped the ball so many times.”

answer: Because they dropped the ball many times.

text: The ninth paragraph quotes Gisele as criticising the receivers with '“You’ve to catch the ball when you’re supposed to catch the ball. My husband cannot fucking throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can’t believe they dropped the ball so many times.”

answer: Because they dropped so many balls making her husband's efforts futile.

text: The ninth paragraph quotes Gisele as criticising the receivers with '“You’ve to catch the ball when you’re supposed to catch the ball. My husband cannot fucking throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can’t believe they dropped the ball so many times.”

All day every day, your brain is bombarded with new information. Confronted with this tsunami of sensory and cerebral input, it’s no wonder much of it slips through your memory’s grasp. But if you feel like you’re forgetting more than you should—or if you just want to pump up your retention and recall—there are some science-backed ways to improve your memory.

Start with exercise. A recent study appearing in the _Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences_ found that just 10 minutes of light exercise was enough to increase patterns of brain activity associated with memory improvements.

This adds to a big pile of evidence linking physical activity with improved memory and overall cognitive functioning. “Our research has shown that significant memory gains emerge when individuals engage in regular aerobic exercise for 50 minutes three times a week,” says Sandra Bond Chapman, a distinguished professor and director of the Center for Brain Health at the University of Texas at Dallas. Exercise improves cerebral blood flow—even after you’ve finished your workout—which aids memory as well as other brain functions, Chapman’s research shows.

Adequate sleep is another necessary ingredient for a healthy mind and memory. But allowing your mind some free time to ponder new information also seems to be helpful.

A small 2018 study found that when people were allowed to sit quietly and zone out for 10 minutes after looking at a series of photographs, their “fine detail” memory for the photos was superior to the memories of people who were asked to complete an unrelated 10-minute task after viewing the same pictures. Basically, the idle time seemed to bolster people’s memories of the photos.

“The brain continues to process and replay past experiences during immediate post-learning rest periods,” says Lila Davachi, a professor of psychology at Columbia University. “This is like effortless mental rehearsal.”

Davachi was not involved with the study. But some of her own research suggests that small mental timeouts can assist recall. Even a few seconds of idle time—meaning time when your brain is not being confronted with new or stimulating information—may be enough to strengthen its memory for information you’ve just encountered, she says.

If you’re constantly jumping from one mental task to the next without giving your brain a break to squirrel away what its learned, it’s not surprising that those kernels of memory won’t be there when you go searching for them later on.

If all this makes you wonder whether checking your email or social feeds during every free moment could be messing with your memory, your head’s in the right place. A 2017 study from Stanford University found that heavy media multitaskers—those who spend a lot of time using multiple forms of media at once, like listening to a podcast while surfing online—tend to do worse on tests of working memory and long-term memory than light media multitaskers. More research finds that relying on your device’s GPS functionality hampers your ability to navigate on your own. You can’t remember something well if you didn’t pay much attention to it in the first place, it seems.

But there are things you can do. Mindfulness meditation may help beef up your memory. One small 2013 study found that students who took a two-week mindfulness course improved their scores on a test of working memory. They were also better able to block out distraction. “It doesn’t take much mindfulness training to get a temporary boost in performance,” says Michael Mrazek, first author of the study and director of research at the University of California, Santa Barbara’s Center for Mindfulness & Human Potential. “Even eight minutes of mindful breathing can make you a little sharper,” he says.

“It is also important to avoid cruising on automatic pilot,” Chapman says. “Life moves fast, and we often compensate by falling into routine, sticking to the path of least resistance, and letting our thoughts, conversations and activities become stagnant.”

Your memory and the overall health of your brain are bolstered by novelty and “inspired thinking,” she says. Breaking away from familiar routines and challenging yourself with change is a good way to keep your mind from growing lazy.

Try this: After reading, watching or listening to something new—whether it’s a news segment or a podcast—try to “think deeply and formulate succinct take-away messages,” she advises. “Take some time to synthesize these new ideas and to update previously held views.”

Just as physical exercise strengthens your bones and muscles, this sort of mental exercise can build your mind and memory.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What are the things we do to worsen our memory retention and recall over time?

answer: Chronic stress and eating too much sugar intake.

text: The answer is insufficient and inaccurate and should be rewritten.

refinement: A lack of physical exercise, mental time-outs, personal free time to ponder new information, an inadequate amount of sleep, and interruption-based multitasking can worsen memory retention and recall over time. Also, settling into a familiar routine without challenging oneself and trying new things can reduce the brain's capacity to retain and recall information.

answer: The primary things that cause a worsening memory retention and recall over time are not engaging in physical exercise and having a habitual multitasking mindset, which means not giving the mind a rest to process new information. Also not paying enough attention to new information leads to poorer memory. Mindfulness meditation may also help improve memory. Lastly, trying to constantly stay on top of distractions rather than give the brain an opportunity to digest new information also impedes memory.

text: The answer omits lack of adequate sleep as part of the factors that can worsen memory retention and recall. This should be included too.

-'time outs' should be hyphenated.

refinement: A lack of physical exercise, mental time-outs, personal free time to ponder new information, an inadequate amount of sleep, and interruption-based multitasking can worsen memory retention and recall over time.

answer: Our brains are assaulted with new information every day, more so in this age of the internet. This deluge of information may be making our memory worse according to new scientific research. It is also said that lack of exercise and sleep can severely impact our brain's ability to retain and synthesize new information.  Also, living on autopilot - settling into a familiar routine without challenging ourselves and trying new things can reduce our brain's capacity to retain and recall information.

answer: Heavy media multitasking and falling into a routine without taking time to think deeply about new information are among the things that worsen memory retention and recall over time. In addition, exercise and adequate sleep are both important ingredients. Furthermore, before absorbing new information, taking a few seconds of idle time to process what was just heard or seen can help strengthen memories. Finally, engaging in novelty and "inspired thinking" can help improve memory.

text: The transition word used in the second sentence after the first is not appropriate for the context. The model should consider replacing it with a more appropriate word.

This is a short story that I've slowly been working on for some time. I understand there are grammar and other issues. I would love to have some feedback though.
-

It is 8:47 AM. Gary feels the cool ocean breeze on his face as he looks out into the horizon. Looking up into the sky, he can see the bright streak of light of what is to come. To think that it was only a year ago that they had found out what was going to be happening. On any normal day, Gary would be working. He loved his job, working in the lab attempting to find a weakness in today’s most deadly diseases. Gary’s job no longer matters anymore. If there was some way to ensure the work he loved so much would be preserved, Gary would have made it his duty to preserve as much of humanities knowledge as possible.

 A year ago, the world’s leading space agencies had found an asteroid headed straight for Earth. Humanity had made this discovery far too late to be able to circumvent any disaster. After the announcement was made by the world’s governments, people were in disbelief. People had continued to do their jobs, go shopping for food, cleaning bathrooms, and repairing cars. That is all the people knew to do; what they had been doing for years prior to the announcement. What else were we to do in the meantime?

There was no rioting any time after the announcement was made. Crime rates had dropped dramatically as well. Churches were empty on Sundays; the individuals preferred to be with friends and family at home. This is perhaps the most peaceful time that mankind has ever seen, facing its demise. The asteroid is large enough to kill all life on land.

Gary remembers doing as much research as he could about the incoming rock. The asteroid is moving fast enough to vaporize any water in the immediate area of the impact and create a wave of intense heat. The heat will be hot enough to kill any land animals in an instant. On top of this, it will liquefy the Earth for miles around the impact site.

“It is such a beautiful day today.” Gary said while taking in the early morning breeze from the ocean. “Indeed, it is a wonderful day. I wonder what will be left behind of us for future archaeologists to find.” A stranger on the beach replied. Gary looked over and nodded, pondering the possibilities myself.

*Gary wonders how long it will be before the bones of mankind will be found, if there are any bones left to be found.*

“I suspect that it might be some time before life on Earth has a chance at flourishing again.” The stranger said, continuing from his last statement. “These are our last hours here on Earth, why aren’t you back home with family?” Gary asked the stranger. “I have no family. I have no brother or sisters, and my parents died a few years ago.” Replied the stranger. The stranger had a glimmer in his eyes, and a sullen look upon his face.

“I apologize, I didn’t mean to upset you.” Gary quickly replied, noticing the quick change in the stranger’s appearance. “To think that everything we know, everyone we love, and all of our creations will be gone. Nobody will be able to look at the Eiffel Tower again, nobody will be able to read a novel written by a famous writer, and nobody will be able to look at the beauty that is the Starry Night. Such a sad day it is, that given all of mankind’s great wonders, that we are not able to stop our own end.” The stranger said, looking into the sky.

They had glanced at each other for a moment, then back at the asteroid that can be seen in the sky. The time is growing near, as each minute, the asteroid is moving ever closer. All of the greatest achievements by mankind, and not one of them can stop what is coming at them, moving at a quick 100 kilometers per second. This is the fastest asteroid humans have discovered.

“Do you ever think about what will happen after the impact?” The man asks.

“I am not entirely sure what you mean. I guess after humans die off, after the dust has settled, other organisms can flourish. Ninety-nine percent of land life on Earth will be dead after the impact. Aquatic life will be disturbed, but since this asteroid is going to hit land, most aquatic life will be fine. Many of the top feeding marine life will surely parish though.” Gary replied, scratching his head. “Well, here in a few moments, the universe may no longer be able to observe itself. It will no longer know what love is, what hate is, what hunger, or what pain is. It will lose an important piece of itself today. We are a way for the universe to see itself.” The man says softly.

That is quite a profound statement. Gary had never really thought of it in such a way before this moment. He will surely miss all the wonderful beauties that universe has to offer.

Moments after the man had finished his sentence, a booming sound struck their ears. There was a great fireball in the sky now, racing towards the Earth. “Good luck, my friend.” Said the man as he shook his hand. A blinding flash came from the horizon, followed by a wave of unimaginable heat and force. Once again, life on Earth will be challenged.

Little had Gary knew, the nations of the world had decided on a plan of action shortly after the initial discovery of the asteroid. The nations secretly built several colonies in the deepest depths of the ocean’s water, as well as a colony on the moon. These colonies were modular by design. The modular design allowed for easily sealing off dangerous parts of the colony. The main hub of the colony held the colony’s government, as well as the residents of the colony. Each colony had a similar layout, as well as the additions that were made after the colony was constructed. Each colony had common department names, such as biology, agriculture, medical, botany, and engineering bays.

Within that year after initial discovery of the asteroid, they had completed the construction of the colonies, and had people living and working. Anybody outside of major government officials were never told that such a plan was in motion. Officials brought the top scientists, engineers, mathematicians, doctors, and other useful individuals down to the colonies.

”Ok, class, who has questions about today’s history documentary?” the professor said, disabling the video wall. The class stayed silent for a few moments, with each of the students looking at one another. “These events happened back in 2015. There are only a few people alive today that witnessed the actual event. Today, scientists have figured out some rather important findings about the event. Unfortunately, I am not able to share these findings just yet with you.” Professor Brooke said. There was a bit of mumbling in the back of the classroom about how primitive the technology was.

“Ok, class, if there are no questions, you are all dismissed for the day. Enjoy the afternoon.” Professor Brooke stated while gathering her teaching materials. As the class packs up and begins to leave the room, a couple of the students are curious about what the discovery could have been. “Hey John, do you think if we can sneak over into the military section we will be able to find out what they found?” Robert said, while finishing to pack up the last of his things. John nodded his head, agreeing to sneak into the section.

“This is incredibly alarming. I could only hope the information you have provided is wrong.” Colonel Rogers said, after reading details explaining the origins and purpose of the asteroid. “We should alert the other colonies of the pending attack.” An unknown man said. Two gunshots echoed through the halls of the military section.

“Excuse me sir, we found these boys listening in on the briefing. Can you get the captain to prepare a statement for their parents?” A guard informed Colonel Rogers. “Ill inform the captain. Please take the bodies to the morgue.” Colonel Rogers responded.

title: [SF] The Day

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the story say about Gary and the stranger?

answer: It is the final hours of Gary and the known existence of mankind, and yet there is no panic. The strangers mentioned hang out on the beach and talk about the last time they'd be alive. After the asteroids impact, Gary goes home, as does the stranger, and shortly after two gunshots ring out bringing an end to their peaceful lives.

text: The answer says that Gary and the stranger go back to their homes after the asteroid strikes, which is nonsense. Besides, the gunshots happen quite later in the story when two boys are trying to listen in on a military conversation.

refinement: It is the final hours of Gary and the known existence of mankind, and yet there is no panic. The strangers mentioned hang out on the beach and talk about the last time they'd be alive.

text: The answer phrases the predicament of the human race, including Gary and the stranger, awkwardly.

refinement: It is the final hour of the known existence of mankind, and yet there is no panic. Gary and a stranger hang out on the beach and talk about whether future archeologists will be able to find anything about them.

answer: The story indicates that Gary and the stranger are both stunned by the impending asteroid impact. Gary observes the comet while the stranger acknowledges that a piece of the universe will be lost today. They both grieve and contemplate the loss of life and knowledge that will occur. Following the asteroid impact, Gary and the stranger part ways. The stranger is without family, while Gary still has family alive to worry about. Despite being strangers, the two share a connection though their empathy for the situation.

answer: Gary seems to be a microbiologist. An asteroid is headed for Earth and everyone is in denial. Gary comes across a stranger asking why he is not with his family. The stranger tells him that they have no family. They have a short conversation about what might happen after the impact.

refinement: Gary seems to be a microbiologist. An asteroid is headed for Earth and everyone is in denial. Gary comes across a stranger and asks why he is not with his family. The stranger tells him that they have no family. They talk about whether there will be a future for life on Earth. The stranger comments that the universe will lose a part of itself that sees itself, and Gary feels that the statement is profound before the asteroid strikes.

answer: In the story, the world's leading space agencies have found an asteroid headed straight for Earth. A year after the asteroid was found and after the announcement was made by the world's governments, Gary approached a stranger on the beach for a chat. The stranger asked Gary if he thinks about what will happen after the impact, and Gary said he was not entirely sure. The two looked at the horizon to watch the asteroid because the time seemed to be getting nearer. Moments after the man's last sentence, a sound struck their ears and there was a great fireball in the sky that was racing towards the Earth.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the story say about its setting?

answer: This is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi and time travel story. The asteroid did destroy the native life, heavy water loss, the marine life is disturbed, and it leaves the dead world.

text: There's nothing about time travel in the story.

refinement: This is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi story. The asteroid did destroy the native life, heavy water loss, the marine life is disturbed, and it leaves the dead world.

text: The answer misrepresents the asteroid's aftermath.

refinement: This is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi story. An asteroid strikes the land and kills almost all land-based creatures but only disturbs life in oceans. Humanity lives on in underwater colonies as well as a colony on the moon.

answer: The story takes place from 8:47 AM to 9:23 AM, June 25th, 2021.

text: The answer is completely irrelevant to the question.

text: The answer is empty.

refinement: This is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi story. An asteroid strikes the land and kills almost all land-based creatures but only disturbs life in oceans. Humanity lives on in underwater colonies as well as a colony on the moon.

answer: The story takes place at the moment of impending disaster, when the enormous asteroid is approaching earth. The setting is primarily during morning on a beach as the two characters contemplate the coming impact. The setting later expands to include a military section, as the characters try to find out what new scientific discoveries have been made. The setting is one of impending doom and impending change.

text: The answer mentions a few places from the story without explaining the setting. In the final sentence, the answer confuses the setting with the sentiment.

refinement: This is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi story. An asteroid strikes the land and kills almost all land-based creatures but only disturbs life in oceans. Humanity lives on in underwater colonies as well as a colony on the moon.

answer: The story is set in a time where the world may be ending. Humankind is about to be wiped out by an asteroid. Everyone is spending their last moments together in peace.

text: The answer only mentions the premise of the setting without the aftermath. The answer's uncertain statements about the asteroid make it inaccurate as well.

refinement: The story is set in a time after most of humankind is wiped out by an asteroid. Humans continue their lives in underwater colonies as well as a colony on the moon. The setting may thusly be called post-apocalyptic science fiction.

answer: The story takes place shortly before an asteroid impact that will wipe out life on Earth. The setting is primarily in and around underground colonies, where the remaining members of humanity have gone to wait out the disaster.

text: The story takes place before and after the asteroid hits, but the world itself goes on in underwater colonies. The remaining people aren't waiting out the disaster, the colonies are their life.

refinement: This is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi story. An asteroid strikes the land and kills almost all land-based creatures but only disturbs life in oceans. Humanity lives on in underwater colonies as well as a colony on the moon.

Peter

As blood dripped from his new American Apparel t-shirt, Peter wondered if he'd made a mistake. It would take an awful amount of time to get it out, it was cotton after all, and had cost him a dear amount of money. He remembered when he bought it, it was a hot, stuffy day and the cashier was a chubby lady called Vicky. His card had been rejected by the machine at least 5 times before he'd gotten it to work. He'd left rather irritated that it had taken so long but pleased that he'd bought a new shirt and some socks. He glanced down at his hand and the still warm Smith and Wesson revolver that rested in his gnarled palm. The smell of smoke from the barrel  and chamber made him screw up his nose in disgust. His father was a smoker, at least he had been till Peter had taken him into the back garden and caved the back of his skull in with a spade for shouting at him one too many times. He cast the revolver aside onto the now red carpet, and brushed himself down. He picked a particularly large piece of flesh from his midriff and held it up to his eyes. He studied it closely before deciding it must be ear, judging by the cartilagenous texture of the skin. He felt his own ear, it was cold to the touch, which was when Peter realised he was still standing in the open doorway of the house. He shut the door briskly and strode over the mangled corpse that lay before him towards the kitchen. He started the kettle, quickly realised it had not been filled, tutted, and then refilled it from the tap. He waited in silence for it to boil and placed a teabag with surgeon-like precision into the Thomas the Tank Engine mug he had taken from the shelf. He poured exactly 375ml of hot water into his mug, stirred six times and removed the teabag before adding a teaspoon of milk. He watched as the reddish brown of the water slowly turned into a more pleasing creamy colour. He returned to the hallway and looked down at the man he had shot in the head. He sipped his tea at regular intervals whilst he pondered this man's story. Had he known this was to be his last day on Earth? Did he know that just 12 and a haf hours after he had woken up and started breakfast that his frontal lobe would be resting on his hallway chandelier? Maybe he'd considered not going into work and just staying in bed, not caring whether or not his spreadsheet would be ready by wednesday. He wondered if this man knew that Peter had followed him home, before entering his house and watching Eastenders for a half hour and eating cheese and pickle on toast. Peter wondered if he should move the body from the hallway, but decided against it as he didn't want blood over any more of the house, that would be unsightly. Instead he walked back into the kitchen and set his empty mug into the wash basin, then ran the water over his fingers until it became warm. He moved the tap head over the basin, squirted some fairy liquid into the mug and began to wash it with a nearby washcloth. Once it was done he decided he may as well continue as not to waste water and took a dirty plate from the counter. He placed into the water and rubbed it clockwise in concentric circles, being careful to clear all crumbs or left over pickle from the china. Peter glanced around the kitchen, impressed by the cleanliness. It was not unlike his own home, the mantelpiece was well dusted and the potted plant, a small spider-plant, appeared to be in good health. There were also some cards stacked neatly on the shelf. Peter dried his hands on his ruined shirt and picked up the first card. It had a picture of a Chinchilla with sunglasses on the front with the caption 'Chinchilling'. Peter allowed a smile to play on his lips before rapidly dismissing it. He opened the card to find the words 'Happy Birthday Dad, we all love you very much - Amy and Jess' in childish scrawl. He placed the card back onto the pile carefully and thought about the two children, Amy and Jessica. He thought they must look like their Dad, but the corpse in the hallway wasn't proving very useful to his mental image so Peter entered the living room in search of a picture of the pair. Adverts droned on quietly from the  old Toshiba television which lit the room with a dim, pulsing glow. Peter's fuzzy shadow lay on the wall, as silent as he was. After a few minutes of searching, Peter recovered a photo of two smiling girls, aged around 3 and 6 and who he presumed to be their mother standing in front of Blackpool tower. Peter had been to Blackpool before with his schoolmates, he'd sat on the end of the pier fiddling with some blu-tak whilst the other children played on the rides or with the fairground games. Mr Hershaw, his science teacher, had approached him and tried to convince him to come and play with the others. Peter had sat in silence wishing Mr Hershaw would leave. Mr Hershaw's cat died the next week, which was unfortunate for him. He placed the picture back on the window sill and sat down cross legged on the floor. The adverts on the television had stopped playing and had been replaced by a loud, tall man with large teeth hosting a family oriented gameshow. Peter grimaced and flicked the tv off with the sauce-stained remote. He now sat in the dark, alone in a foreign house with corpse for his only companion. It was almost funny, Peter felt like laughing; but he didn't laugh. He simply stood up and walked back into the doorway, he didn't need light to navigate, he had already memorized the structure of the small house. He stepped back over the body and grasped the brass doorknob. It was cold and he withdrew his hand quickly. Peter decided it would be wise to leave in more than just his t-shirt. He rolled the man over on to his side, so as he wouldn't have to step back over him. Peter was a skinny man, he always had been, and so rolling over the man's rather hefty frame was no easy task. He scoured the house for a coat, but quickly realised that the cadaver was the only one sporting a jacket. He heaved at the hem of the jacket, pulling it from the body. He did not see any point in un-buttoning it first as there was no head to make removal particularly difficult. He pulled the bloodied Weird Fish coat over his head, it was still warm and had some weight to it. Peter rifled through the pockets and picked out a pair of keys and an embroidered hankerchief. The keys had the words 'Renault' etched into them, and so Peter concluded that they must be for the car that resided in the driveway. Peter considered taking the car rather than walking, it was cold and he was already beginning to hear sirens. He had realised shortly after pulling the trigger that a high calibre handgun was not the most silent of killing devices, and it seemed that someone had noticed.
