Live-Tweeting the Apocalypse

***Editor's Head's Up: A bit of adult language in the following story***

Eric Bullen @EricBullen: So this is the end of the world. Where are all the superheroes when you really need them?

Marie Sainte-Beuve @MarieSainteBeuve: I'm sorry, but before anyone destroys the Earth I must insist on seeing some proper ID.

CureFan17 @CureFan17: This is why I'm a goth. Vindication at last!

Eric Bullen @EricBullen: Who else is listening to Wagner right now?

Marie Sainte-Beuve @MarieSainteBeuve: Hey, @CERN, I told you not to press that! #TooLateNow

Clare Murillo @Clare_83: @EricBullen I've been trying to call you but the phones aren't working. Just wanted to say I'm sorry about how it went wrong between us.

Eric Bullen @EricBullen: @Clare_83 Thanks for getting in touch. Still, being sorry doesn't magically make everything OK.

Clare Murillo @Clare_83: @EricBullen I know, but I don't want the world to end when there's still bad feelings between us.

Eric Bullen @EricBullen: @Clare_83 Wow, even the Apocalypse has to be about you and your feelings. Everything's always about you.

CureFan17 @CureFan17: Did anyone make a backup of the universe? #TooLateNow

Clare Murillo @Clare_83: @EricBullen It's not about me, it's about us. There used to be an "us." Remember the good times we had?

Eric Bullen @EricBullen: @Clare_83 You certainly had some good times. Of course, I wasn't there for all of them.

Clare Murillo @Clare_83: @EricBullen Oh, we've been through all that--it wasn't what you think. Stop obsessing over it. Let go of your anger.

Marie Sainte-Beuve @MarieSainteBeuve: Guess I'd better hurry up and start reading Remembrance of Things Past. Don't want to have any regrets!

Eric Bullen @EricBullen: @Clare_83 Let go of my anger? Now you're turning into Yoda.

Clare Murillo @Clare_83: @EricBullen Soon we'll all be dead. Is this how you want to die: full of anger?

Eric Bullen @EricBullen: @Clare_83 Is this how you want to die: constantly harking back to the past?

Clare Murillo @Clare_83: @EricBullen Since there isn't going to be any future, the past is all we've got.

Eric Bullen @EricBullen: @Clare_83 That doesn't mean I have to be happy about it.

CureFan17 @CureFan17: I never learned to play the guitar #TooLateNow

Clare Murillo @Clare_83: @EricBullen OK, whatever. I tried my best. I'll leave you in peace to die alone and full of bitterness. Enjoy your apocalypse.

Eric Bullen @EricBullen: @Clare_83 Well, I'm sure you have plenty of other guys to try and make up with before the end. Good luck squeezing them all in.

Marie Sainte-Beuve @MarieSainteBeuve: I haven't gone down to the woods to see this year's bluebells yet. #TooLateNow

Clare Murillo @Clare_83: @EricBullen That's uncalled for. But I forgot that you always had to have the last word. So I'll let you have it, if it makes you happy.

Eric Bullen @EricBullen: @Clare_83 Thanks. You always were considerate like that. Just not in other ways.

CureFan17 @CureFan17: Should have prayed harder #TooLateNow

Clare Murillo @Clare_83: Wow, did everyone see that? Looks very close now....

Marie Sainte-Beuve @MarieSainteBeuve: Best fireworks ever!

CureFan17 @CureFan17: OK, own up: who decoded the Voynich manuscript?

Eric Bullen @EricBullen: It's getting bad here. Not long till the end, I guess.

Bowl of Petunias @Bowl_of_petunias: Oh no, not again.

James Holcroft @AuthorJimmy: There's still time to buy my book... #WellItMightBeAFalseAlarm

Marie Sainte-Beuve @MarieSainteBeuve: Did you ever tell your mother you love her? #TooLateNow

CureFan17 @CureFan17: Did you ever tell your boss to fuck off? #TooLateNow

Eric Bullen @EricBullen: If this is it, if this is really it... then how did I end up like this?

Marie Sainte-Beuve @MarieSainteBeuve: Let's all try harder next time.

CureFan17 @CureFan17: @MarieSainteBeuve There won't be a next time!

Marie Sainte-Beuve @MarieSainteBeuve: @CureFan17 There will for me, I'm a Buddhist.

Eric Bullen @EricBullen: I'm here, all alone. And it turns out that having the last word isn't so great after all.

Eric Bullen @EricBullen: Not when it really is the last word, in the last hour of the last day.

Eric Bullen @EricBullen: Clare, you were right and I'm sorry.

Eric Bullen @EricBullen: Clare?

Eric Bullen @EricBullen: Anyone??

Eric Bullen @EricBullen: @Clare_83 Clare, are you there?

Eric Bullen @EricBullen: I love you #goodbye
