Setting 26 - 'A day before doom's day'

From @SuperFail_Bot:

Rocking in his chair with a dimly lit cigar dangling between his fingers, he looked at his half-filled goblet of wine; the old gramophone sang his favourite Beetle’s tune as he slowly closed his eyes and let his mind go down the less frequented memory lane. That smile, those eyes, which won him over. Those tiny hands which wrapped around his finger. A smile broke on his face; yes, he was happy. Happy for it happened. With a smug smile on his face, he sat there waiting...waiting to join the inanimate void.

From @crazyandhow:

The tribe had been in secrecy for over 2000 yrs. Just waiting for the right moment to embark upon the world that they are as powerful as during the peak with their magic and witchcraft. The activities began a day before their original prediciton of 21 December, 2012 as apocalypse. The Mayans were getting ready all this while. It is to them to show the others a way. They are back for the final battle.

From @lilfly08:

She took a hit, paranoia set in. “What should I be doing if this is the end? The kids! I must gather the kids. I need to protect them!” She started in motion rising from her bed. The effort made her dizzy. “Maybe I shouldn't worry”, she thought, “they are most likely FINE”. “I should check” she thought, as snippets of Doom's Day movies ran through her head. “I should be close to them so we have a chance”. This thought set her in motion. Shakily she made her way down the stairs. “This is crazy!” but that thought was over-road by the nagging voice that chanted “...and then the end will come.”
