AN: BoOkLuVeR303 and I decided to start the End of the World Challenge. Actually, we started this 2 weeks ago and I just forgot to post it. So, there's no way in heck this will be ready before June 22, especially since I'm going to camp for a week and therefore have no way to communicate with her (they limit phone conversations to parents). I posted the first chapter too since this is so short.

Prologue

I gazed around me, taking in the sterile look of everything; the stainless steel tools, and tables; all the electronics – especially computers – that were just about everywhere. Sighing, I turned back to the nuclear bomb I was defusing. I really hated my job, but I was resigned to it. Foolishly, I had accepted this job when I was young, thinking it was great honor to be offered a top secret government position. But I didn't know what I was getting into. After being sworn to secrecy, it's not like I can quit this job and go start another. The government would be too worried that I'd spill all their secrets. That wouldn't happen, though. I just want to put all this behind me and never ever think about it again.

Especially the pressure. That's the worst part. I've never exactly been know for performing well under pressure – in high school, I had to have an inhaler within arm's reach at all times during the SAT's. There was no way I could ever mess up a bomb. It would be the death of the entire world. Just one big, horrific disaster of epic proportions.

Okay, I thought, just disconnect the red wire. Wait, what did I just do? Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no. That was the blue wire. The world will officially end in three, two, "Shit."
