I never thought it was such a bad little world. It wasn’t bad at all, really. Maybe it just needed a little love.
According to eyewitness accounts, the world ended today, 12/21/2012. Fire rained from the sky, the earth was torn asunder and silverware everywhere was viciously tousled. The planet crumbled, and the Earth’s moon, free from the gravitational pull of the planet it once circled, drifted off into space. Jupiter will probably pick up the newly free terrestrial body out of spite, because it has always been jealous of our breakfast burritos and sustained life.
