My gods! That dare permanently ruined my reputation.

I was in my delivery van when old corpse breath Hades sent me this message:

Okay, I thought. I've got some message to deliver. I took my caduceus a.k.a George and Martha with me (they were very reluctant to do the job. Martha said this was stupid. George said I was stupid). I got out of my delivery van which was parked in the Central Park. I decided to walk down the upper east side at do some planning on how I was going to accomplish the noble task. Three ladies jogged past me when I called after them. They looked back.
Me: BEWARE MORTALS!!! THE APOCALYPSE IS STARTING!!!!!
Blonde hair: What?!
Me: You heard me.
Brunette hair: *rolls eyes* Yeah we totally did.
Me: But-
Then they went away completely ignoring me and saying impolite - for- a- god words like 'idiot', 'mental case', 'kidnapper' etc. Kidnapper?! That was an awful way to refer a brilliant thief!
Okay, I thought. Gotta change the process.
I started running and waving my hands frantically in every direction, yelling at the top of my lungs,'APOCALYPSE IS STARTING!!! BEWARE MORTALS!!! YOUR DOOM IS AT THE DOOR!!!!'
All the pedestrians were staring at me as I ran and occasionally jumped past them. Some of them just kept staring as if they'd just witnessed a flying ostrich. Some snapped pictures and recorded videos.(I just hope they don't post these on Instagram or YouTube. Or even worse; write a book about it on wattpad!!!). Some of the youngsters threw comments like: 'crazy hamburger', 'mentally retarded alien', '****', '******' and more '********'. The kids were the most cheerful audience. Some of the people just made that out- of- mind gesture with their index finger. The senior citizens just made tch- tch noises.
However, just when I dared to think that my 4000+ life couldn't get any worse, it actually did. I saw a familiar face standing on the footpath at my right, grinning like an idiot. I approached him.
Me: Apocalypse is starting and what- are- you- doing- here?
Apollo/Lester: Yo man, what up?
Me: You can clearly see WHAT'S UP!
Lester/Apollo: *looks up* Uh.....dad's up?
Me: You're hopeless! What are you doing here?
Apollo/Lester: *shrugs* Stuff.
Me: And I'm stuck-
I couldn't my sentence because that's when the ground began to split apart, careful not to hurt any mortal and undead zombies started crawling out on the surface. The mortals who where mocking me were now yelling hysterically and running for their lives.
Lester/Apollo: What the Hades?!
Me: Exactly! Hades did his part just fine! Yolo mortals! APOCALYPSE IS STARTING!!!
Let's PAR- TAY!!!!!
Apollo/Lester: That sounded like Dionysus. And what is happening?! Seriously, Hermes.
I just patted him on the shoulder and ran to the zombies to join them in the party leaving a very confused Apollo behind. The zombies did their stuff. The mortals kept running for dear lives and I kept yelling helpful things like: APOCALYPSE ARRIVES!!! BEWARE OH DWELLERS OF EARTH!!!!!
This time they took me seriously. The whole scene looked like a very realistic movie set. I actually couldn't believe my eyes when gray clouds covered the sunny sky, lightning flashed overhead and thunder boomed. Although I couldn't tell if Zeus intended to join the fun and scare the mortals or intended to scare me. I gulped. I didn't want to see them publishing any "Trials of Hermes" for terrorizing Zeus's beautiful world by apocalypse- ing things up. I even saw a very baffled squad of demigods from Camp Half Blood trying to wage a war against my apocalyptic zombies. I avoided them.
In less than an hour, New York was in complete chaos. Mortals kept muttering one word, now my signature word: Apocalypse
I overheard some conversation going like,
'Apocalypse?'
'Yes.'
'Oh no!'
'Yes, help'
'But......apocalypse!'
'Yes I know.'
'Apple pie.'
'Go die.'
Which didn't even make any sense. I laughed. The poor mortals were completely bewildered.
However, after what seemed like forever, the zombies retreated. There were no casualties. I left the confused Newyorkers to their confusion for a while and went back to my delivery van for wattpading- up my horrible and humiliating, yet kind of fun experience.
I guess I'll settle for some apple pie now.
And _-TheSingleHades-_ thanks for the zombies.
