Ragnarok

A couple days ago, I heard the most depressing ending to a story ever...

The title: Ragnarok (the norse endtimes)

The setting: Life as we know it

Told by: The vikings of old.

How it ends:

Everyone dies. (almost)

Now, I know what you're thinking, how did it come to this:

Well, I will tell you what I have learned via world wide web:

Okay so here's how it starts, basically

Everyone starts to get angry, like families who always seemed to get along, all of a sudden want to just ghetto stomp each other on a curb.

This is also followed up by a giant wolf named "Skoll" ingesting the sun, which apparently for a giant wolf won't hurt as much, and should also technically freeze the world over, but I suppose the vikings weren't great at earth science, so this made sense to them somehow.

Next, his brother, "Hati" will eat the moon, which will now really throw orbit patterns for a loop, (get it, loop?) and should completely destroy the function of the galaxy without a sun or earth's moon. And you would think it would end there, but oh no, it gets worse.

Three roosters, which aren't all that scary, so they actually don't destroy anything they just do what roosters do best: crow.

One of them, "Fjalar," will crow to the giants, which will anger them, and they'll awaken.

Another rooster made of gold and named "Gullinkambi" will crow to the Gods, and because the rooster is made of gold, and therefore might have a better crow than the one that awoke the giants will be heard by the gods... Because God's like gold.

And a third rooster, unnamed will raise the dead. This is completely irrelevant in my opinion, because most everyone will die anyways, so why would we need more dead people, moreover, walking dead people.

At this point, a big freaking wolf named "Fenrir," will be unchained, because that's what you do with giant wolves, you chain them up. And Fenrir just starts tearing crap up, because if you were chained up for thousands of years on end, I suppose you'd be a little unsociable as well.

Then, a giant sea-serpent, named "Jormungand" will emerge from the sea, because he apparently wasn't there to begin with. And he will essentially just start making his way to land, but while he's thrashing around in the water and making such a ruckus, he somehow manages to raise a legendary ship from the depths of the sea. Because no one ever hears of a sea serpent SINKING a ship.

Apparently the ship will have a giant named "Hymir" as its commander, and the giants will sail towards the shores behind the serpent, but not too close.

The serpent also raises a ship from the realm of the dead, (because I suppose the third rooster forgot to crow to these guys).

And this one dude, named "Loki" will sail that ship, and stay behind the other ship, and then these fire giants will join from the south, which actually makes some sense because of the equator deal. And their leader,"Surt" will raise a sword and burn the earth, because the sun is already gone.... duh.

Finally, after their world has already essentially ravaged and destroyed a Norse god by the name of "Heimdall" will blow a horn, summon the gods and get fired. (at least that's what I would do).

It's at this point that the Gods will ultimately attempt to whoop the butts of all these guys who are out to kill them.

Odin, because he's such an overachiever, will attack the giant wolf, Fenrir and that battle will rage for a while, Thor will fight Jormungand, aka "The serpent" and they will both DIE. Thor beats the living crap out of the serpent, but it's poison kills Thor, eventually.

Then, another god, Freyr, is just killed by Surt, the fire giant... She doesn't even have the chance to fight back; she just gets owned.

And after everyone is dead,

Odin is killed by Fenrir.

then, apparently a character who was failed to be mentioned this entire time comes in to save the day, Odin's son, Vidar. Comes in out of nowhere, and literally breaks Fenrir's jaw in two.

This is where it gets semi-happy.

Vidar rules over the world, and humans come back because of two people, (who apparently remained alive and avoided being eaten, frozen to death via lack of sun, killed by a giant wolf, poisoned by a giant serpent, pwned by giants, or merely becoming victims and collateral damage.

And humans live among the Gods.

Really?

There is no sort of redeeming qualities about that story at all.

It sounds actually, like some sort of sci fi original...

Like,

I am legend of the Rise of the Planet of the Snakes...

On a plane.

Just remember to find humor in everything, friends.
Thank you,
