You're in your house, as usual, flipping through a cheap magazine that you nicked from the corner shop. Until your home landline begins to ring - Nobody's home, so you have the responsibility of picking it up.
Quickly getting up, you walk over to the landline, picking up the phone. Your friend's, Michael, voice immediately picks up in the receiver.
"Hey, uhm.. Did you watch the news..?" He asks, almost sounding nervous.
Your eyebrows furrow in confusion, "No - I haven't. Why?"
He sighs shakily, before answering. "What if I told you the world was gonna end? In fifteen minutes."
