This story is based off the Comedy Central cartoon South Park. I do not own the characters, they belong to Trey Parker and Matt Stone.
All characters are legal age.
Jesus Christ.
It was supposed to be a rumor, another hoax by religious idiots with too much time on their hands. It was never supposed to come true. But by it, what exactly was it? The end of the world? Aliens? The second coming of Christ? No one had been able to tell for sure, and that was why some didn't care. Those who did care settled for 'it', just to avoid the panic. But it was stupid, there was panic everywhere, they were all terrified of something they couldn't see, or touch, something that wasn't there.
Fuck.
He was in Law school, he wasn't prepared for apocalypse, he had returned home for the holidays, nothing more! No, it wasn't apocalypse, it was war. The biggest, most organized terrorist attack ever, hell, in one fell swoop they had completely neutralized the United States in its entirety. It was complete technology blackout; Y2K coming to life, twelve years late. It was a relief to know that it certainly couldn't be the rise of the machines against humanity, like in those movies. Though it would make for an interesting study, how quickly society came apart without computers and television, without iPads and electricity.
Shiiit.
Maybe this was the doing of aliens; this was a giant study of human behavior. How else could they kill everything, all the power and the electronics? Maybe it was Energizer, that stupid pink bunny finally snapped. Or it was a battery conspiracy in general, they were sick of everything coming with built in rechargeable ones. Or maybe this was just some sick fucked up way America was going to learn to play nice with each other, and others. A lesson from God?
As if.
There is no God in this place, not anymore. There is no order, no logic, there's nothing. Perhaps to those who believe it's rapture, or hell, it doesn't matter. It's still Earth, home, and instead of coming together and overcoming this challenge and becoming stronger because of it what did society do? It crumbled. Families broke apart, communities shattered, all because of what? A few burnt out lights and unsaved video games? What happened to torches and lanterns, telling stories and singing songs and playing games under candlelight? It worked for the pioneers. But just looking outside you could tell this wasn't the wide open fields of Little House on the Prairie.
Just to think a week ago the sleepy little town of South Park was working together, storing food and emergency supplies; working together to face it. The instant it all came apart people became…animals. But animals could be trained, and there was a group rising to power with the cruelty to train them. They had structure, a leader, and they were spreading, just like the fear it had caused. No, not it, it was time to face what it really was. It was called simply '2012'. But what happens when not everyone is willing to be trained as an animal, whose will won't be broken so easily? What happens when old friends are brought together? Can they survive?
Maybe we should start at the beginning.
