1 Minute To Live

This is 1 Minute To Live, a story where you get to deicide to do whatever you want during the last minute in the history of the country. [[Prolouge]]

The year is 2144. Scientists in the Yellowstone Reaserch Monitor Center at Yellow Rock National Preserve have detected anomilies. These anomilies are of the country-destroying kind, so that's probably a cause for alarm. But, no need to worry, right? I mean, that's probably nothing. So, they ignore it. And they ignore it. And then when the anomilies increase, they get worried. When it reaches a .789 in the SMOiN scale, they alert the Government. An emergency broadcast gets sent out, on all channels of TV, Radio, Internet, all of it. But it is too late. The SMOiN readings of the volcano reach .888, and then .900, and then .904. By now, the country is in a panic. The latest reports indicate that we have just about a minute before total destruction. [[Enter]]

You wake up. You are... [[The President Of The United States]]

You are Jessica, a MeTube star. You are ivestreaming your latest episode, Jessica decides to Get a Dog, when the announcement pops up. Juan DeLupe, your show host, informs you of it.

You are Sylvester. You know nothing of the 1-Minute Announcement, as you are a staunch conspiracy theorist. You don't own a computer, TV, phone, or radio. And you are out taking a walk when the Announcement comes in.

You are Elon Musk, local tire salesman in the desert town of Minston. You are watching TV, more precicely, you are watching Boiled Alive! The new TV show where celebrety host Gordan Ramsey invites lesser chefs on air to prove their worth. You are watching Dr. Ramsey dip a failed chef in a pot of boiling oil, as per the shows policy for chefs that do not appease the Gordan, when the 1-Minute Announcement comes on.

You are the Once And For All, Presidentia of These Glorius Stadidius Unitidus Of Amarica, George Clooney. President Clooney was sitting in the Hexagonal Sphere when he saw the 1 Minute anouncement. [[1 Minute President]]

You are Mark, a sad, depressed loser who works at McDonalds. You are reciting a menu to a disgruntled customer when all of the screens flash the 1-Minute warining.

You are Amelia, a digital programmer making games on a virtual platform known as Twine.0 when you recive the anouncement of 1 Minute.

You are Bob, a washed-up Australian comedian who moved to the country after a particualrly bad comedy stretch. You are watching reruns of Lucy Loves You, the story where Lucy from the popular 2050's TV show I Love Lucy goes around hugging people. You are at a particularly good part of the episode where she goes to hug the IRS, when the 1-Minute announcement pops up.

You are Anthonyette. A sad, lonely transient working at the local Tree Preservatorium. You have escaped your old life, and live under a bridge. You are at work, reviewing a audio tour when the Minute Message appears.

George Clooney jumps to his feet. My cheese! I must do something! You shout. You rush out of the Hexoganal Sphere and run into Living Pod 15-44b. [[55 Seconds President]]

Using your powers of UPS, you call Husband 1, or George Clooney Clone A into the kitchen. [[Tell the truth]] [[Make out]]

You explain to George Clooney Clone A all that you know. [[45 Seconds President]]

"Come with me baby" You tell your Husband. He stares back at you. [[Epilouge 7]]

George Clooney Clone A stares at you. You stare back. After a few seconds like this, you rush off. [[30 Seconds President]]

You rush out into the streets, using your powers of Kinetic and TeleKinetic communiaction, you converse a message to all of the frantic people running in the streets. [[Tell Them To Be Calm]] [[Demand Their Help]]

People of This Justice! You shout, demanding calm. The croud calms. We know that you are having ills! You shout. But do not despair! For I will... [[Get you all to safety]] [[Greet you in death]]

"Crowd"! You shout in your booming voice. "Listen to Me!" And they listen, for you are President Goerge Clooney, and you know what is right. "I Know That you may be afraid," you begin. "But with all of our help you can do it" [[25 Seconds President]]

For I will Greet You In Death! The croud panics more, seeing that their ruler will do nothing to help them. One of them, one of the small meat creatures thinks that if it takes your power of everything, it will be able to survive. It jumps on you [[Fall]] [[Fight Back]]

You fall back, letting the attackers fall over you. You die, letting them consume you. [[Epilouge 1]]

You unleash a wave of energy, crushing all of the protestes who are climbing apon your body. [[15 Seconds President]]

You float up, and out of the stratosphere. You try and try to get past the invisible wall that keeps us all out of sapce. It won't work, so you.. [[Decend To Earth]] [[Stay Up Here]]

They begin devouring your body, praying that the powers will protect them. 22 Seconds pass. Then, the Yellow Rock Volcano explodes. No one gets out alive.

You slowly descend back to the earth, as the sound of the shouting fills your ears. Where to go? You head to... [[The White House]] [[China]] [[Pennslyvania]] [[Nope, back up there]]

You decide to last the world out in the stratosphere. You watch from below, as the world decends into chaos, and then stillness of it all. [[5 Seconds President]]

You watch the end of the world, become silent. 5 seconds before the world ends, we have killed ourselves off. You watch, and wait, and accept the end. [[5... 4... 3... 2... 1... President]]

You are there, up in the stratosphere, as the Last Human Alive when Mt. Yellow Rock erupts. You feel immense pain as it all begins to end, but as you are being torn apart by the lava and the rock and all of it, you smile. [[Epilouge 2]]

The world ended, and you ended with it. Your death was never complete, as you can never die, but you are close, oh so close to death to be cinsidred as such. There will never be again a life, and there will never be again you.

You come back down to the mob in front of the white house. It seems that there are more of them, and you recognize that they are getting more desperate. OK, OK. You have a bit of time left to try to get out of here. What do you do? [[Approach the Crowd]] [[Hide]]

Why China? You think. There is no reason to this, so you re-ascend to the stratosphere. [[5 Seconds President]]

Of course! You remember the ancient prophecy, 'Those Who In Pittsburgh Shall Be Saved'! You quickly decend, with no time left. And then with 8 seconds left, you enter Pittsburgh. [[Epilouge 5]]

Uhh... This looks worse than you imagined. You think you'll just go back up to the top of the world... [[5 Seconds President]]

You try this again, to approach the angry, seething crowd. There are many more of them now, and they swarm all over you. The citizens that you once protected, now are your downfall. You are weak, so so weak that you cannot help but succumb to the angry crowd. [[Epilouge 4]]

You recognize that the mob means blood, and so you run back into the white house hexagonal room. [[2 Seconds President]]

You run back into the White House Hexagonal room, knocking over all of the things that are in there. They no longer matter. Nothing matters any more. [[Epilouge 3]]

You are sure that you can find the one thing that will stop this, that will save the world, if only you could remember... But then, Mt. Yellow Rock explodes. You are torn apart in fire and death, and more fire. The Hexagonal Room, still stands, but nothing else does. Since you are near immortal, you last until just after the explosion ceses, and then you die.

The crowd seeths over you, using whatever tools they have at their disposal to try and take you out. It seems to them, that you are the reason why this is happening. That YOU are why all of this has begun. You die with one second left before Mt. Yellow Rock explodes, and you die in pain. There is nothing left of this story, for there is nothing left of you.

As soon as you enter the hallowed land of Pittsburgh, all goes quiet. You can hear the distinct difference, as there are no more shouts, no more anger and chaos. All is calm in Pittsburgh, and all is quiet. You decend, aqquire a house after the Death Of All, and calmly live out the rest of eternety in Pittsburgh.

The crowd is in a trance-like state, so you continue "In order to be able to ensure our victory over this, we must be strong!". [[Epilouge 6]]

You make the most elegant speech. Perhaps, it is the best speech in the history of the country. Too bad the world is ending. You don't keep track of time, and the volcano explodes, cutting you off in the middle of the words "Duck Heart".

Then, you two hug and kiss till the end of the world. You are pushed back onto the counter (since you are in the kitchen), and then- BOOM! It all goes black.
