EO Challenge: End of Days

by Dizzo

EO Challenge: WOW Snow. Extra challenge: end of the world fics or happy to be alive fics. The lovely Enkidu smells a quadruple drabble so I decided to go one better as it's Christmas, and present a story in five individual drabbles. Did the mayans really foresee the end of days when their calendar stopped at 21st December 2012? Or was there some other perfectly logical reason?

Ichik's gnarled fingers guided his chisel around the final symbol in the date 21st December 2012. He had worked hard this morning, and now it was time to eat and rest his aching fingers before his work resumed.

As he turned, reaching for a banana, a blinding flash startled him and he stumbled backwards, slamming heavily into the vast stone tablet which shuddered precariously.

Opening dazed, watery eyes, he could see three strange figures standing beside his work hut.

The particularly fierce looking one in the middle scratched his head then announced, "Cas, there's no friggin' snow here you dork!"
