Nightmare of March 14th



End of the World



Chapter I - Red



Its was chaos. Everything was bathed in crimson light, as the many supposedly extinct volcanoes erupted at the same time, spewing ash into the atmosphere and lava into densely populated towns, burning houses, destroying buildings, and everything. He stumbled and ran, and ran. But the cloud of ash and carbon was closing in, and he fell to the ground, awaiting burning hot lava to melt him any second, or preparing himself to inhale breaths of lung destroying carbom monoxide. He shuddered in sweat and closed his eyes, just pleading for a miracle to save him, and whispered something inaudible as all around him, mountains of exploding magma and clouds of ash and dust with crimson illumination changed the familiar landscape of the peaceful town, terribly. But just as suddenly as it began, it stopped.
The tons of magma ejected into the air froze suddenly, and turned into solid rock, and broke into millions of pieces as they fell to the ground, all in one fluid motion. As tiny pieces of hot rock cascaded upon the stricken land, the rage of the disaster seem to stop, like a fire which is melting slowly and dying out. Soon enough the small stinging burning on his back stopped, and he stopped shuddering in fear.

Chapter II - Blue

Soon enough, that blazing heat and stinging pain on his scarred back disappeared. And the thunderous noise of the eruptions and cracking of the rocks stopped., to be replaced by something completely new, rain. As the flaming red of the sky get replaced by a cool crystal blue, and cool waves of rain began cascading upon the ruined town. He got up shakily to his feet and shook his wet hair out of his eyes, slowly taking in so much which had just happened. He spluttered, tripped on a piece of a blown up house, and stumbled into the burning wreck of the town, looking for his family and friends. Quickly he found them, and together with the rest of the little town a small caravan of tattered trucks headed out to the city miles and miles away. To their relief the city was unaffected by the disaster. Quickly he and his family brought some provisions and together with a gang of his friends, had a meal at the local cafe, celebrating the end of the disaster. But all the time, even though the rain of relief fell, a strange blue hue seemed to engulf everything, the sky, the roads, and even his vision was turned to a shade of light and dark blue, and everything seemd to shine softly like crystal, as if he was wearing a pair of blue sunglasses, even though he was not. But fun and laughter was not made to last.

Chapter III - Black
As he left the cafe, something more menacing than the volcano struck his eyes. A swirling pit of dark mass was right above the city, a black hole. And everything is sucked into it, and he could only stare on in horror at the end of the world as everything is devoured into nothingness. And he lost everything he ever had and ever wanted...

Chapter IV - Green
He woke sweating, heart beating fast, and could almost still see the black hole as it swirled above the earth. A shadow passed his eyes, and for the first time he realised how bright the sun shone and how green the trees and grass were...
