itself to its downfall/destruction? I'm writing a story and I want to reference something instead of using "that fateful day" twice =P
Here is the excerpt, and I want to replace the second "that fateful day" with "humanity's [insert event here]":
"They waited… and watched. They knew that their time would come… the day the planet became theirs.
When we created them, we foresaw the dangers that could be. We knew of their capacity for evil, just as we knew our own. But that did not deter us. No, we needed to know our boundaries, push the limits; go as far as we could possibly go. We did not think, and it was on that fateful day when we doomed ourselves to extinction.
It was not too long ago, THAT FATEFUL DAY… only about 20 years.
Still, it was long enough." blah blah blah
Any help would be extremely appreciated, not to mention awarded with 10 points =)
Robert, that actually sounds pretty good, even if I'd like something that fits just a little bit better contextually
