At the end

Introduction When people thought of the end of days, the apocalypse, it seemed to be the common opinion that it was inevitably going to occur, as nothing lasts forever. The beliefs upon how this would befall them varied, however. Some ideas made logical sense, others, very little. Some people believed that a disease of some sort would wrack the planet, wiping out civilization in one fell swoop. Chemical warfare was also an option. Others thought that global warming would cause the planet to flood itself, slowly and efficiently snuffing out all forms of life. The largest consensus was another asteroid crashing into the planet. That would surely do the trick. The most radical of thought felt something more like a zombie apocalypse much more exhilarating. The truth of the matter was, they were all wrong. When the end did occur, not a single person was prepared, despite centuries of speculation. When it came, it came swift and thorough. Although, those that lived in those dark days would have said that it lasted forever. Days upon days of endless panic, fear, horror and loss.... Only at the end was the truth revealed and it was a truth so unimaginable it bordered on idealistic.
