Prologue
In the last thirty years, prophecies of doomsday have become rampant, people claiming to be prophets, scientists, time-travelers from the future, all giving prophecies about the end of our world. But of all these prophecies, only one turned out to be exact and accurate, and that was the one prophecy that was ignored.
Twelve years ago, Dr. Phil Lucas, a weather scientist at the University of New York published his findings on the activities of our planet’s core, claiming that the core of earth has become increasingly unstable, and that in twelve years or less, there may no longer be a place for us here. He wrote of how the planet will explode from inside out, how everything on the surface will be swallowed into molten lava, he warned, he really warned, but no one took him seriously. At a time, some renowned scientists discovered something very similar to Dr. Phil’s theory, and for that time, some references were made to his findings, but it was eventually concluded that the entire theory, even theirs was based on a wrong equation.
Twelve years later, it turned out that equation wasn’t wrong after all. But by the time this was discovered, it was already too late. A week prior the 14th of March, 2014, volcanos all over the world began to erupt without warning. Well, there were warnings, but it all happened so fast, and there wasn’t enough time to do anything about it. After the eruptions which lasted two days, several thousand lives were lost and the planet engulfed in cloud of ash.
It was thought that the nightmare had come to an end, but as it turned out, they were wrong. On the 14th of March, year 2014, an earthquake of great magnitude like never seen before began, entire countries swallowed into the ground. It lasted an hour, and that one hour, was humanity’s darkest hour. Hours after the earthquake had stopped, over 800 million casualties were recorded worldwide, over 100 million injured and over 400 million are unaccounted for.
A few days after the planet-killer earthquake, people had hoped that it was over, but they know better now, they know that whatever it is they’ve seen, it’s only just the beginning. It became clear that the foretold apocalypse is upon us, and there is no better way to spend the little time left than with beloved ones.
