Contemplating Armageddon

I had hoped that, when the world ended, it was because billions of years had passed and we’d evolved into beings of energy.

I had wondered if the trends that the academics had worked out would indeed end the world, if we’d ruin it within a millennia.

I had feared that someone would build the wrong thing and we’d all end as grey goo.

I had heard, but discounted, the rantings that said a being of pure evil would rise up and cause Armageddon.

But a being of pure good, that judged us all unworthy? That didn’t occur to me.
