The apocalypse is coming! What form will it take and how will you survive the catastrophe? Read the scenarios and vote on how you would survive!
It’s a warm summer day and you sit in your hi-res office in the heart of New York City looking out the window at the sail boats and merchant vessels moving up and down the Hudson River. The sky over New Jersey is clear and from the twenty-third floor you can see for miles and miles. Oh how you wish you were outside having fun instead of sitting at your desk trying to figure out what your next Suvudu post will be about.
You start to feel a small tremor. You look at your water bottle and the liquid that was still a moment ago is now rippling. Your gaze is suddenly diverted to dark and ominous clouds that appeared out of nowhere over Hoboken. A large whirlpool has formed right off of Pier 90, right where all the cruise ships berth. The wind has picked up and a thick lightning bolt just struck a tugboat on the river. Your heart races as your mind tries to piece together what is happening.
And then you see it. An enormous tentacle emerges from the Hudson river and crashes down on a barge, slicing it in two as if it were made of tissue paper. Another tentacle rises from the water, followed by several more all thrashing this way and that. At the center of the whirlpool the water bubbles and explodes skyward as a large, turtle like head rises from the deep. The Kraken from the recent Clash of the Titans movie stands in the middle of the Hudson river and lets loose a bellow that shatters windows for blocks on end. A tentacle grabs a commuter bus on the West Side Highway and feeds it into the beast’s cavernous mouth. Row after row of sharp teeth shred the bus and its occupants. You stare in amazement at the site before you.
That is until a powerful plume of fire shoots down from the sky at the creature below. Out of the dark clouds over Jersey emerges the bull dragon from Reign of Fire and it looks bloody pissed. It circles the Kraken, avoiding the whip like tentacles and unleashing one torrent of hell fire after the next.
You should be recording this with your cell phone’s camera but you stand frozen at your window. Suddenly your whole building shakes and objects in your office come crashing down. A violent jerk to the south side of your office tower knocks you into your desk and the building begins to slant. The battle between the two great creatures has crept onto the shore of the Hudson River and buildings along the highway are now being toppled in the melee.
The fire alarm has been ringing in your building for several minutes now and your co-workers are flooding to the fire escapes. A large tremble brings everyone to their knees and outside your window two huge gray skinned objects appear that can only be fingers. The fingers that belong to some large creature grab hold of the side of your building and you see what looks like a giant ape fly through the air, belly up, arms flailing as it sails straight at the dueling monsters. The airborne primate must have been tossed by the beast clutching your building. You note that it appears a blonde woman has fallen to her death, released too soon from the clutches of the great ape. The gray hand before you now separates from the building and moves forward, revealing itself to belong to the Cloverfield monster. And the ape it just tossed was none other than the legendary King Kong.
The four great monsters converge on each other like wrestlers in a fatal four way match. Around them buildings burn, water pipes burst, and New Yorkers die.
“Get out! Run!”
Who said that? How is this happening? This can’t be real? What do I do?
You finally start to come to your senses. You begin to make your way to the fire stairwell. As you proceed down with your co-workers everyone has a look of shock and dread on their faces.
You emerge to a city street that is strewn with rubble, destruction, and panicked people. You live on the West Side, right where the monsters are fighting. You know your home is gone. Where do you go? Any where but here, is all you can think.
You turn north and begin walking. And then you hear it…the most fear inducing sound you have ever heard. And the most awesome. It is a roar like no other. It is a roar that can only belong to one. It is the roar that belongs to the King of All Monsters.
Godzilla has joined the fight. Nothing will remain standing. New York City is lost.
How do you survive?
1. You shave your head, grow a long gnarly goatee, get some cool tribal tattoos, and lead a gang of mercenaries all Matt McConaughey style. Maybe, just maybe you can kill the monsters with your big crazy ax!
2. You find any one of the countless “reality stars” who contribute nothing to the greater good of this world. For us, for a tomorrow, you string them up on the Brooklyn Bridge and offer them as a sacrifice to the Kraken.
3. You find the eggs of each monster, their nests are conveniently hidden in Madison Square Garden, and destroy them all. With nothing left to protect the monsters will return to the depths they emerged from.
4. Who are you fooling? These are giant monsters! You can’t do anything but run. You get your ass out of New York City as quickly as you can! Except you’re too slow and night falls…and that’s when the C.H.U.D.s get you.
