Episode 1: The End of the World

 

Well, it’s Christmas Break, and here I am, writing a blog.  Once I get this done, I will be free of homework, so that’s good.

I learned a very handy trick a couple of weeks ago; I can type blogs on my iPod while simultaneously doing… well, anything.  In fact, as I speak, I am gazing out the window of my house into the gray sky.

There’s been a lot of hubbub lately about the end of the world happening today, but that doesn’t look like the case, because I’m still living.  In fact, I’ve just walked into the kitchen and am eating a bowl of Rice Crispies.  Man, I love Rice Crispies.  I wish the Atlantic Ocean was Rice Crispies, not water.  And the Pacific Ocean could be milk.

It stinks the weather is like this.  It’s kind of depressing, actually.  That sky is just—woah.  What was that?  HOLY CRAP!  Was that a meteor!?

I’m running outside now, into the woods across the street from my house.  I have just witnessed a meteor crashing onto the Earth.  I know it wasn’t a shooting star; it’s way too cloudy out for those to be visible.  Plus, shooting stars are supposed to grant wishes, and the Atlantic Ocean is not Rice Crispies, nor is the Pacific Ocean milk.  Do you want to know how I know that? 

Because I’d probably be able to hear the Snap Crackle Pop from here.

By the way, I’m still running through the woods.   Except now I’m really tired, and the trees around me are burnt to a crisp.  Man, maybe the world really is ending.  Oh hey, look!  It’s a shooting star!  I wish the world was not ending!  Oh, wait, that’s just another meteor.

Yeah, we’re screwed.
