End of the World

I thought something apocalyptic would make a good start for my new blog. This is one I wrote some time ago, and is largely to prove that I can write non-sexual stories. Its nothing particularly amazing.

Anyway the first few will probably all be older stories though I might throw in some of my more recent writings, including some of the erotica. Comments, as always, are welcome.

The world ended yesterday. It was quite pretty to watch really. First we had the most magical sight, it was like the entire sky caught fire. The aurora borealis spreading from pole to pole, bright than anyone has ever seen it before. Trees, animals, people, cities, cars, everything pretty much incinerated in that instant as the sun expanded and engulfed the earth. The ground turned liquid and ran smoothly, and the sea simply vanished in clouds of steam, boiling away in minutes.

I was at home at the time it happened. Fifth floor, out on the balcony of my flat. Nothing particularly special going on, just leaning out and watching people going past below. Of course, I knew it was gonna happen. I'd been given forewarning to get my affairs in order. A lot to do in my job when the end of the world is coming.

So, watched this bright, almost agonising light as the world's atmosphere was stripped from it, torn away and boiled off into space. Feeding the hungry sun that had grown to engulf it. Watched as the fires spread so quickly, tearing apart the cities, melting the ground, turning people to ash almost instantly as they stood and watched in wonder.

Some were so shocked and awed they didn't even notice they were dead. Those were fun to recruit I must tell you, still, its my job. Oh, and of course once this was all done the dead rose up. Or as much rising up as you can do. From horizon to horizon it was just ghostly shapes, one after the other. Glowing in various colours and shades, varying in brightness. It certainly dwarfed the heavens being aflame.

At least we won though. People had finally given up and stopped believing, and that was all we needed to trigger it. What the Christians and everyone else never really got was that they were prisoners. You can spout on about free will all you like, but they never really had it. We've now given it to everyone. There is not a single person alive, uh, still around, who cannot choose exactly what they want to be, and do.

So thank us, we've destroyed your gods, your myths, your masters. We've set you all free of the prison that they locked you in. Your world is now your own.
