My Version.

Preface
Part 1-
I knew we were going to die.
I watched everyone look at each other with so much compassion. Warren and Vanessa. Tanu and Ulline. Trask and Elise. Seth and Lana. Stefan and Caroline. Zolie and Newel. Jack and Chelsea. Narinda had tears streaming down her cheeks. Doren took her hand. She didn't shove it away this time, in fact, she got closer to him. Verl and I. These were all the faces of my family. And I'd never see them again. Ever.

Part 2-
This might be the last time I see daylight. The last time, we made it. But this was different. My family and I were going to die. So was the Australian family. No, so was Australia! No, all of humanity would end soon. Scientists always predicted the sun crashing to the Earth's surface. No, the truth was that in just a few seconds, the great demon prison Zzyzx would open and let all of the most foul, wretched, dangerous, perilous, treacherous, sinister, sadistic, and misanthropic demons of all demons (including Gorgrog, the demon Lord) free to destroy, petrify, expose magical creatures, but most of all, kill all of the living.
And there was nothing we could do about it…
Absolutely nothing.
