AKA - 8 Days
Apocalypse fans!
In eight days, asteroid Horus will strike Earth!
Eight part series checks off our dwindling days, as individuals flee, others bunker down, others party.
In this depiction, most hop all over the place like frantic titmice, devolving to their base cores.
I disliked almost every character and kept urging the asteroid to accelerate.
Science is nonexistent. Horus is 60 kilometers wide. Aside from the catastrophic blast, the ensuing dust cloud would create the equivalent of nuclear winter. No sun, crop failure, freezing temps. Quit running, rodents.
What is my shallow advice?
Hit the stores. Premium booze, gourmet food, plenty of ice. Charge it all! The bill ain’t never gonna arrive.
Savor your time. If younger, relive 1978, pre-AIDS. Splash.
To quote poet Magidson, “Enjoy yourself, it’s later than you think.”
Apocalypse or not, it always applies.
