End of the World

I was sitting on the dining table with my lola and two others, we were having dinner. My lola kept on talking about how strong she still is, yet her body speaks otherwise. In the middle of our conversation, the lights went out. My lola stood up (which she can actually never do anymore), went inside the house and looked for a candle.

I wanted to follow her, just to make sure that she's okay, but something kept me on my chair. My mind was clouded with different conclusions, one of them that it was already the end of this world.

I tried to adjust my eyes in the dark. The explosions outside served as our only source of light. Another big explosion, and I woke up thirsty. It was a scary dream, being part of a scene I'd normally see in the movies.

It's alarming though, what's happening to several countries right now. The earthquake in Japan, tsunami in Asia, snow in Saudi, and the fucked up nuclear scare yesterday. Everything seems to be falling right into place, following Mayans that is.

Reynard and I were discussing it last night.

R: I think 2012 is just nature's way of keeping the balance of nature.

W: What do you mean?

R: Just like WW1, WW2, people thought it was already the end of the world.

W: And the millenium bug too!

R: yeah. But come to think of it, the human race isn't completely washed out. It only affects a certain country or region.

W: Maybe 2012 will have a more strict screening process. You know, take only the special kind. Like Noah's Ark, one of each kind lang.

R: yes.

Now I have to become extraordinary by 2012. It's not a bad goal right? In order to survive this next screening, I have to be different.

P.S., screw you with the hoax nuclear scare. Hope you drown in Betadine in your sleep tonight.
