Disclaimer: See prologue And In the End by Twist Epilogue: "... And I feel fine..." -REM _It's the End of the World_ +++++++++ It might be said that the events related here are rather odd. Well, now, the oddest has yet to come. For the sun rose twice that Thursday. This time, it did not begin with an earthquake. Or even, with an elephant stampede. For that particular zoo keeper had stayed inside this time, to wrap a present for his niece Tanya. She was turning sixteen today, you know. There was a stampede, however. Bloomingdales had had a half off sale in the woman's department. +++++++++ Kitty Pryde awoke that morning, in her hotel room with the particularly nice view of brick wall, and didn't see a single pigeon on the radiator. She did not think twice about this, it didn't seem to her that there SHOULD be pigeons on the radiator. She glanced at the clock, and realized that she still had fifteen minutes before the lobby was going to ring her for her wake-up call. She stretched and lay back with her boyfriend, whom she had no idea was in any way related to a demon. +++++++++ In the Massachusetts academy, an angel was drinking tea. His blue skin looked particularly nice with his new suit. +++++++++ The doorbell on the main building to the Muir Island complex never rang. It didn't have a doorbell, after all. +++++++++ As a matter of fact, nothing unusual occurred that day. Nothing at all. Well, almost nothing. Morgan sat quietly on a rock in the fog. Behind him, Marty was saying farewell to the four horsemen of apocalypse, who were headed back home. They had a long ways to go, however, before they hit Vegas. Morgan sighed as Marty came up behind him. "I know what you mean," responded a despondent angel. "Nothing interesting never happens around here." The End. +++++++++ "There must have been a moment, at the beginning, where we could have said no. But somehow, we missed it.... Well, we'll know better next time," -Guildenstern, _Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead_ by Tom Stoppard
