“Back in building 405,
Two men sit, still alive.”
 
The floor was cold.  It was made of stone.  There was no light, no light at all.  Even the stone wall before him could not be seen, as the wall behind him against which he leaned his head, as his hands on his knees.  He sat alone in [...]

Fire was everywhere.  Smoke filled Ted’s lungs, and made him choke.  He was going to die.  He kept moving away from the fire as it leapt up in more and more places.  He couldn’t get to the stairs.  It was so hot.  He looked around.  Everything in the place was set aflame. 
A piece of [...]

Jake could hardly see through the rain.  He went towards the middle of the yard, trying to wave his arms out in front of him to find his way.  After a few moments of trudging, he tripped and fell off a small ledge into a shallow pool of mud.  He was in the bottom of [...]

A wind blew across the Earth.  The birds gathered.  Domestic pets fled in exodus at the ending that they sensed approaching, at the devastation that they could feel.  The people stood on their doorsteps, watching their pets’ odd behavior with sadness and misunderstanding, and for many, with fear.
Then the ground shook.  First the best of [...]

I’ve been listening to Weezer a lot very recently. “Hash Pipe” originally inspired me to this.
EDIT:  I really want to revise this, but before that happens I think a second part may actually make an appearance.  But I will revise it.

“Some people are all alone.  Yes, so very alone.  All alone, with no outside contact at all.  With no friends.  But not me.  No, not me, I have all the friends in the world.  And all in my very own home.  Isn’t that right, Mary?”  He stroked the corpse’s hair.  “Yes, it is.  And new [...]
