In the year 2012
Dinner-time conversation tonight turned to the coming apocalypse. It is the opinion of First and Second Sons that in 2012, when the Mayan calendar comes to an end that it will be the beginning of the end. Or the end of the beginning, perhaps. The form of the apocalypse is unclear -- zombies, maybe, fire from the sky, possibly. However since it is only five years away, we must begin to consider important things, like whether post-apocalyptic fashion will include stylish leather outfits (like on Mad Max), and whether it is important to keep a good deal of Spam on hand, in case it becomes legal currency.

So how will WE write it? How shall it read when we look back on December 21, 2012? We certainly have the elements in place to destroy ourselves. The planet has experienced cataclysmic events in its history - polar shifts, ice ages, etc. No one really knows. What the Mayan’s meant with their End-Count calendar will always be up for speculation. It fires the imagination, for sure. SOooo let's write it like we want it. That is what Chris Fenwick did in the #1 Visionary Novel: "the 100th human." You choose... www.the100thhuman.com
