A is for Apocalypse: it's happening now


 File:Hieronymus Bosch 051.jpg


So this is finally it. We are having the apocalypse now. The funny thing is, I was expecting zombies at least, people who died and just came back to life, maybe pursuing a somewhat irregular diet, but this? I think the black hats are worse.

So here's what's happening: there are people with black hats swarming this place, everywhere. They walk the streets, they will come into your home if you open the door to them. First there is one, but as soon as they have you in their brim-shaded sight, more will come, will flock, will surround you. And then, they disperse, and all that's left is one more dude wearing black felt.

Seriously, I have seen this happen. It happened to a guy out on the street who was trying to outrun them, unsuccessfully. It happened at the market earlier when I was getting bottled water and canned food. It happened to my neighbor just five minutes ago.

Hear? I think that's them knocking now, I can hear their fingers scraping at my door. They won't break it down, do you think? I mean, I am holding my breath, I'm quiet, they can't suspect there's anyone home, right?

Surely they alojdshlfijn'=-['jb mnb jhgcilhlkhgd

ETA: I managed to get out of my apartment after all, I managed to climb down from the balcony. Got a gash on my arm for that, but I didn't even notice because I was trying to get outta here without them seeing me... I think I'm safe for now, but I'll not say where I am, just in case.

    1. It's okay. I managed to get out by climbing down from the balcony, but they were breaking down the door. And they are moving through the streets now, going into houses... I don't want to say where I am right now, I'm scared, but for now they haven't found me. Just be sure to run the other way when you see people with black hats.

    1. Fun fact: the black-felted apocalypse has brought a BLACK EFFING HAT into the story I am currently working on. That story, I might add, has nothing to do with the impending End of All Things. They really are EVERYWHERE.
