The death of the world is near. The ones who have striven to protect us have long since passed on. The ones left sit back and do nothing. And the key to the world's salvation sleeps on, unaware the world he was created to protect will soon be gone.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unknown to him at the time (but knownst to us), David the Nerd, was the Savior of the world.
Of course, he never had any reason to believe it was him, he had no clue the world was going to be dead soon. Thus, he was surfing the net when China exploded. By the time that hit the news, he had left to play a VMMO.
Not long after, the chunks of China fell and squished everything in Russia, Japan, India, the Koreas, and all other surrounding Asian countries.
David cleared the VMMO and went to go get some dinner, not noticing the flashing news report of the world's destruction popping up on his TV. While he ate a sandwich, all the dead Asian bodies were incinerated and their ashes flew into the air, covering all the countries in Europe. The people all choked to death when they left their homes from the corrupted air while the people who locked themselves inside quickly ran out of supplies and dies of starvation.
Meanwhile, David chugged down some water and went to go take a nap in his Stars-War themed bed.
Africa was the next to go, caught under an army of evil snowmen from the Arctic and Australia who had long since died from the growing cold. Of course, the heat melted the snowmen who went too far North into Africa, but all the melted snow turned into flash floods which swept their entire population into the ocean.
Some of the (not-so) lucky ones who survived were swept into South America (all while David was still asleep, dreaming of eating a snow cone) and the survivors went crazy and started a mass killing spree, but since everyone they killed came back to life with the determination to kill everyone they met, the killing spree wiped out everyone in South America up to the Panama Canal (since they only came back as killing machines once and died after being killed by another killer).
From Panama to Mexico, people were getting worried by all of the deaths and turned to drugs (government issued drugs ensured to bring bliss) to relieve their stress. Sadly, those drugs didn't work and caused death to anyone who consumed it.
David woke up from his wonderful nap and turned on his TV, not paying attention to the IMPORTANT NEWS bulletin flashing on all channels, instead turning on his Wii.
Across America, people were going on with their lives unaware of world troubles until a massive force of soldiers appeared from the North and killed every American who had ever eaten a hamburger. All the Americans left (vegetarians) wondered where these people had come from, since there was nothing to the North of the USA except some frozen wasteland.
David was shooting down ships as he piloted his character's X-Wing closer to the Death Star-almost to the end of his game.
The living Americans (vegetarians) were killed the following day because they had not truly appreciated the full value of maple syrup. The mysterious invaders retreated back the way they came only to have their country explode, killing all of them in the process.
David smiled as the Death Star crumbled away behind his character, he had just saved the world-no, the entire universe! He went outside for the first time in his life to tell everyone what he did but was struck by lightning and died.
Thus, the human race was destroyed and the one person who should have done something, didn't.
The Earth was not harmed in the making of this story based off very untrue sterotypes.
(My only real regret is destroying Canada)
