Expectations



The end is here. We have been waiting, anticipating for so long. We’d go to town and hear that ‘crazy’ old man begging for mercy, asking us to repent for our sins for the end is nigh. Scientists would produce a calendar and a countdown clock. Imaginative citizens would spread rumors of a zombie apocalypse or an alien invasion in which the new species would exterminate mankind. The media would resort to childish, playground tell-tell measures to pit countries against each other. A powerful yet cowardly man would stand behind a desk and make empty threats to push the big red button. Yet in the face of all what could or would have happened, nothing, and I assure you nothing, could have prepared me for this ending.
