The 'Wildly Illogical' Collection

The day started like any other. Nicholas woke up way too early. As usual, coffee was the first thing on his mind. After making some, he sat back and turned on the television. Too early for a proper broadcast, but there was some news on.

Just the same old, still looking for the perpetrators of the robbery, no leads, gunmen were a distraction.. Even the police caught on to that. Nicholas just sat back with his coffee.

When Nicholas finally felt awake enough, he took a shower, got properly dressed and decided to.. Uh. Wait a minute. Wait just.. What.

Didn't he just die? Didn't the planet explode?

Nicholas stared at the television, which seemed to have little new information. He was definitely.. What the fuck?

Also why is sitting so goddamn uncomfortable, was he sitting on something? Wait.. That's.. New.

Nicholas stared at the tail he held onto. As he pulled on it, it hurt. It was attached to him. He stood up, looked at it some more. What the hell?

He walked back into the bathroom, wiping the condensation off the mirror, and.. Well, he was going to turn around and get a better look but.. His hair.. It was all white now..

Just like this tail. His brownish hair had changed completely. He felt his forehead. Not hot, so this wasn't a fever dream. And, agh, knocked off his hat..

What.

White, dog-like ears were on the top of his head.. Was this real? What is going on?

He snapped his fingers near these ears and AGH that's loud! Okay, they're functional. His normal ears? Still work, but.. Not as well. How is this possible?

The smell of his coffee intruded into his thoughts. He was surprised, the remaining steam made it hard to smell, and yet..

He sat back down. He drank the remainder of the coffee. Okay. Thinking about it, the ears and tail seem more like a wolf. He'd have to look it up. Whatever.

The day though. It's the same day. Is the world gonna end?.. His car was already done. He could pick it up and drive away before anyone knows.

Wait, if he remembers what happened, so would they. He's up crazy early, so he got a head start. Okay.

He headed out. Gas station first. Buy a jerrycan full of gas. Two, to have a backup. Went for the garage. Caught the owner before he opened. The man looked surprised to see Nicholas, but Nicholas didn't have time for this. He paid for repairs, gassed up and drove to the motel to pick his stuff up.

A perfect plan. He was out of town before he could see anyone. Ofcourse, he took a different route this time, too.

He turned on the car radio as he drove away.. A newsflash. Unsure if the entire world mass hallucinated it, but the world cracked in half.

The Breaking.

What a dumb name, but someone coined it and it got stuck. Likely until a scientist comes up with a better name.

And.. People worldwide found themselves with animal parts. Animals were suddenly more human. The phrase Animaloid was thrown up, a portmanteau of Animal Humanoid.

Well, whatever. At least it was apparently a common thing now.

Hours later, Nicholas parked his car outside of a roadside diner. He walked inside, and sat down at the bar. Just minutes before the world would end.

The television was on, showing people in other countries praying, massively chanting.. They all knew what was coming next.

The end of the world.
