The End As We Fear It

It isn’t necessary to imagine the world ending in fire or ice — there are two other possibilities;  one is paperwork, and the other is nostalgia.  When you compute the length of time between The Event and The Nostalgia For The Event, the span seems to be about a year less in each cycle.   Eventually within the next quarter of a century, the nostalgia cycles will be so close together that people will not be able to take a step without being nostalgic for the one they just took.  At that point, everything stops.  Death by Nostalgia.
