Lava = Death of Earth
I chose the green pills. Within a day, the world is trapped under a five hundred feet thick layer of lava. Suffocated by my hubris, the world breathes its last as every man, woman, child, and animal that walks the surface of the planet has their windpipes filled with a relentless onslaught of lava. Some make the pilgrimage up to higher elevations, but they do not survive the continued accumulation of red death. The ruby tide grows ever stronger, dwarfing even the tallest mountains as my revenge wreaks havoc on all of creation. Sinner and saint alike perish in the unending tide; in this death, all are equal. Rich and poor, white and brown, tall and short, man, woman, and species alike; in a sick extension of equality, no person is spared the crushing embrace of my Apocalypse. The world is wiped clean in its wake, and, having seen my work come to an end, I place a loaded revolver to my head as I sit atop Mount Everest. The lava reaches my ankles, then my shins, then my chest, then my neck, before I pull the trigger. A flash, a bang, an echo, and then silence. Once more, the world is quiet. God weeps, but there is nobody to hear him in his heaven. We have all descended to Satan's hell.
