It's always nice to know when the apocalypse is going down. I hate surprise doomsday scenarios that wait to jump out at you when your pants are around your ankles. I mean, seriously, have you ever tried to run for your life like that?
Thanks to Shannon @ The Warrior Muse and Chuck at Apocalypse Now for hosting the Choose Your Own Apocalypse Blogfest! What better way is there to celebrate the end of the Mayan calendar?
1. Choose your apocalypse.
2. Sign up!
3. Tell us how you prepared for your survival amongst everyone else's demise.
4. Describe your apocalypse and how it's going down.
5. Make sure the badge is displayed on your blog.
6. Visit your fellow survivors and see how their world ended.
I'm writing mine as an article posted in a less-than-reputable publication. You know the kind I mean.
Do You Want to Survive
Armageddon?
For
those of you out there who haven’t been gifted with my ability to see the
future, I want to reassure you. The
world as we know it will certainly end this December 21st, but it
won’t end for everyone. Those of you who
heed my advice can look forward to greater things as a member of a
significantly smaller human race.
There
are a number of theories about how the world will end on this date, but only I
know the truth. I am sure many of you
have heard the story about how the rogue planet Nibiru will swing around our
local neighborhood and crash into Earth.
I can tell you unequivocally that this isn’t the case. Nibiru will come, but it won’t hit us. It’s simply going to tow Earth out of its
orbit.

See,
Nibiru is the cosmic equivalent of a tow truck, and it’s no coincidence that it’s
heading our way. Composed out of super
dense matter, Nibiru has a sizable gravitational pull, and it’s strong enough
to pull even a small star. Nibiru is
being driven through the universe by a spaceship filled with aliens called the
Zyntar. The Zyntar landed on Earth long
ago, and they worked with the Mayan people to write their calendar. It was intended as a countdown to their
return, when they intended to relocate our world for their own purposes.
There
is nothing we can do to stop them, and unfortunately for our species, being
tugged into deep space will mean leaving our sun behind. The world will freeze rather quickly after
that. Your only chance is to follow my
instructions. Send all of your worldly
possessions to me, and I’ll seal them safely in an underground vault so the
deep cold and cosmic radiation won’t damage them. Once this is done, I’ll personally fit you
with a tracking device. The Zyntar
promised to bring the believers who wear this device to live on their
spaceship. Once Earth has been parked in
orbit around a new sun, you will be allowed to retrieve your items.
See
how easy that is? Call me at 1-800-438-2368
to sign up and schedule a time to drop off your valuables. I’ll see you soon!
Do the ZynIf have dragon food? If so I'll go, if not, then I'll pass to the buffet.
ReplyDeleteI swear I typed Zyntar.
DeleteThat is hilarious! I wonder how many people would buy into that?
ReplyDeleteVery cool scenario!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome post. I think the only world that will end today is that of those who have used this date as a selling point for books and survival gimmicks. They have to find something new to doom about and they better do it soon if they intend to keep a steady income. :)
ReplyDeleteYou've got me convinced -- I'll be in touch!
ReplyDeletethe phone should be ringing... nice eye!
ReplyDeleteDid we make it?
My link is dead, I ask again did we make it?
[Visit my post for that to make sense]
Great end of the world post!!

Oh No, Let's Go... Crazy
Oh gosh, I need to get on the phone! Will my tinfoil hat also help me or will it increase the gravitational pull on my head?
ReplyDeleteThank you for participating!

I find if I put a large brown paper bag over my head the End of the World normally misses me. Its an old trick but works well most of the time. OK not in the queue at the supermarket while the masses are stocking up with Christmas.
ReplyDeleteYou're a very savvy lady. I loved this.
ReplyDeleteWhat's your address? I'm heading out to UPS right now.
Great work.

I'm not ready to be relocated!
ReplyDeleteHahahahahahaha... Love it! The very very sad part is that, should you publish this, you might actually get calls :D
ReplyDeleteI don't have much, as I already gave away all my worldly possessions during the last apocalypse, but I do still have a shopping cart full of cans and a winter coat with a few holes in it. Will that be enough?
ReplyDeleteI tried to leave a message last night, but the voice mail was full :)
ReplyDeleteCan't believe you have storage capacity to cope with my needs (am married to a hoarder who's the human equivalent of a squirrel!)
ReplyDeleteGreat post, btw! ;-)
SueH (I Refuse To Go Quietly!)
I love it! So creative!
ReplyDeleteNice up until the end...now I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn! Here's my money though in case you have the inside info!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating and come and get your badge.

LOL! That's taking scamming to a whole other level! :-)
