I survived an apocalypse. Actually, I have survived multiple apocalypses. 2000, 2005, 2010, and now 2012 as well. I know there will be new doomsdays to face. Days fabricated from groups of people desperate to believe in something bigger than what’s in front of us. Why do they spread fear like a disease? Is it meaning they are anxiously clawing for? If these people are searching for meaning, then why not predict joydays rather than doomsdays? Rainbow light caressed my face as I gazed at the fireworks. There had been no explosion, just light and celebration. We had survived. I didn’t know if anyone had predicted a new doomsday for 2013 but I did know I had plenty of joydays lined up.

The house precariously stood by the water’s edge. The water of the lake stood deathly still, reflecting the overcast sky like a giant mirror. The bridge which linked the small island to the land looked dangerously unstable. There were more splits and cracks in the wood than planks used. It wasn’t a comforting sight, and definitely not a romantic one. The man slid his arm behind the woman’s back and pulled her close. The wind smacked their faces, leaving their cheeks rosy red. “I knew we shouldn’t have booked online,” groaned the woman, toying with her new wedding ring.

A ragged old man with one tooth handed them the key to the house. It weighed a tonne and glistened with an eerie golden glow.
