Natural disaster
The earth trembles underfoot, then pitches you off your feet, you sit, shocked and scared, very large particles of dust fall from the ceiling illuminated by the window, the lights flicker, darkness, you rush to the window only to see smoke and ash trying to slide in the cracks, feeling buried you wonder about the stairs but you know that your always supposed to stand in a doorway, it's structural integrity will save you from the rushing waves, you see, the island fell into the ocean, now the world is going to drown from the hundred foot waves caused by the resulting hurricane. sandstorms start in the garbage can and twirl around the room, until the dust is gone, leaving only a tornado, which escapes through the doorway so much for it saving you, it is beginning to pull up houses and it blows away from the tropical storm, which is raining frogs down, that it found in a nearby pond. you peak your head out, in the eye of the storms, it attempts to dislodge you with saline, when you arbitrarily decide to stay indoors meteors begin to puncture the roof, luckily they fizzle out if the flash flood that is where the basement used to be. baseball sized hail comes in through the holes your ceiling now contains, which is fine because they didn't hit the fridge, It's lunchtime and your hungry, you pull a fishing rod from your closet, the air raid sirens go off, damn, your bomb shelters have been destroyed, hoping your luck will hold you manage to pull in 2 salmon and a piranha. You feed your cat to the piranha's and fire up the grill. if the power was on you'd know the reason it wasn't. Godzilla, attacked the power plants causing a explosion of enormous magnitude. your house at this point is sliding down a mountain but you don't really notice because your trying not to burn the fish. unfortunately you end up on the freeway causing a 15 car pile-up before getting struck by lighting, but it's ok because it didn't burn the salmon. Which is now done, and delicious. a small group of humans stampede by, crushing the unlucky daisy's underneath their feet. half the city is burning down, but your grill fire was put out by the dark cloud over your head which covered for a cloud of locusts, your fine with it you already cooked the fish. a large vacuum implosion breaks all the windows simultaneously, it's sad because they lasted through the hail alright now they will have to be replaced and you don't think the insurance will cover it if damage exceeds the deductible. It's just another day in a post apocalyptic world, the sun already imploded, fortunately it won't actually affect earth for another 8.3168708 minutes you know apx . I have a feeling I won't be so lucky then.
