They say today is the end of the world.

2012 marks the end of everything you knew. Your home, your world, and the people around you. Half of Earth's population was preparing for doomsday, the other half, the 50% you would like to believe is rational, was going about their lives normally. They wouldn't believe such crap. Or perhaps some were morbid enough to simply accept the end. Embracing 2012, in all of its prophesied destruction.

You sat in your room, as usual, keeping a blind eye to it. You have always been a skeptic; always so cynical. The world would not end today. That was a strict fact.

Sinking further into your plush chair, you cringe. You cannot fathom how gullible some people are. Who could believe something so... so... You can't even think of a world to describe the 2012 Antics.

Maybe somewhere in the very back of your mind, you had a lingering paranoia. What if the world really did end? You forcefully shove (rude) those ludicrous thoughts out of your head. The world is not ending! Stop debating with yourself.

You repeat: The world will NOT end.

You need a distraction. You are driving yourself to the brink of insanity with this back and forth argument between you and you.

Your hand reaches for the laptop sitting on your bed. You open its lid, and log onto MS Paint Adventures.

Recently, you have found a new obsession. An obsession with an interesting web comic wrote by a man named Andrew Hussie. Your eyes have been glued to the pages of Homestuck ever since you first read it.

But to your startling disappointment, the website is empty. The usual colorful page was missing, and all of its familiar components. Everything is gone except for a little note.

You read the the note.

Dear Reader, I have given you all you need to know- AH

AH. Your mind ponders. Who could be AH. Suddenly, it clicks. AH is Andrew Hussie. The author of Homestuck.

Right below the tiny message is a link to a download.

You have read enough to know. You know.

Today the world will end. Today is the beginning of the end.

You click the link. A pop-up blinks on the screen. It asks you: Do you want to run the program: Sburb?

You drag the arrow to the "yes" button.

The end of the world begins.
