In the Beginning

There are a lot of fads and trends that are out that are very popular with society, however would that all really matter if the world was to come to an end? I'm not necessarily saying that *boom* the earth is going to explode or that all life is going to cease, but that civilization is going to come to a halt. That everything as you know it is gone, changed, different, never the same again. No more NBA, no more TV., no more school, no more government, no more society (and hopefully no more twilight). This is a specific area of interest that has multiple platforms in which it shines, from literature (books, short stories, graphic novels, and comics) to media (videogames, websites, television, movies). The funny part is that some of these books turned into movies, the sheer power of the idea that the world as we know it will be no more. On specific book I've recently read was called "Life as we knew it." Where a meteor hit the moon and worldwide disasters happen and just like the title, the life they lived before was just a faded memory. Stop and think about, the end of the world isn’t a recent fad that just popped out of nowhere, before the 2012 scare was Y2K, before that the nuclear missile crisis and so on and so forth. Even in the first book ever printed, the Bible, there was a mention of an apocalypse, an end of the world prophecy, the four riders of the apocalypse, a battle between Heaven and hell. Whether the end is brought upon by man, by nature or by forces beyond our comprehension, this is a subject that has a lot of literature to choose from. Books such as “The Road”, “I Am Legend”, “The Stand”, and “World War Z” emphasize and give a taste of a future grim and void of all hope. A good read in my honest opinion. This video is of a game called Darksiders: Wrath of War, the story goes, the apocalypse came and life was extinguished, but the end of the world came early…
