The world is ending

Avatar Author: Kater I love music, books, and food! Read Bio

Jane had a premonition; the world would end at midnight. It came to her in between the act of chopping lemons and measuring sugar.

She would be lying in bed, the moonlight coming in softly through the open window to illuminate her body. She would be wearing her favorite red panties and a matching bra; her long brown hair tangled and spread out over the pillow. Her husband would be snoring softly next to her, curled up with the blankets around him. He was unaware. He would be happy. She would be lying on her back, completely awake, watching the ceiling. The world was a ticking time bomb, and she knew it.

Three.
Two.
One.

    I dig this. It’s simple, stark almost, but flows nicely. The change of format for the ending is nice as well.

    Darn… we need an ability to retroactively link a story as a prequel after it is written. This would work pretty well as a prequel to Treebeard’s Ghost’s story The Lonely Void or my Diaries of the Disaster
