Well, this is it. The End. Of Everything.

But wait, that doesn't give you much room for a story, does it? Well, for some people. But The End of the World isn't as permanent as it's made out to be. After all, Agnolo di Tura del Grasso said of the Black Death: "So many died that all believed it was the end of the world." And yet, here we all are. So by this logic, some might survive the End, but live in a much harder and colder world, at least until society rebuilds to some extent.

And of course, there is no guarantee this is a global Ragnorak - one or more people might have their world destroyed in any number of ways without realising that somewhere, in the distance, there is still some remnants of civilisation. It doesn't even have to be literal - the world ends metaphorically after the death of someone you love or a loss of self. Heck, it doesn't even have to be permanent if time travel is involved.

The Challenge: For at least one character, the world must End. It may be literal or metaphorical, but it goes. Whether it "comes back" is up to you.
