Everyday Apocalypse #1
Everyday Apocalypse
A light-hearted science fiction comedy, Everyday Apocalypse follows Tom Brown as he tries to find love in a world with weekly apocalypses.
Aside from the weekly struggle for survival in an ever-changing Armageddon, life’s pretty normal for Tom. He has a nice condo, a decent job, and a Subaru.
But what he REALLY wants is to land a date with the cute receptionist, Sarah.
Sarah is brave, funny, and always has a smile on her face, even when meteors are falling from the sky.
Tom, on the other hand, is terrified every time he leaves the house.
He knows he needs to impress her. He just has to figure out how to do that without getting eaten, burned, drowned, turned into a zombie/werewolf/vampire, disintegrated, abducted by aliens, or any combination of the above.

A thing that I didn't know I needed
Every apocalyptic story is usually something about how people will be running away from the event or after the world ends, and everyone suddenly has an addiction to leather and acts super dramatic. This story is about an apocalypse that changes every week and instead of running away or going crazy, people just stayed where they were and continued living their lives. After all people still need to go to work and earn money to pay the bills, even if it means they have to take the long route to work to avoid the zombies blocking the road. In this story, we focus not on some crazy prepared, strong action hero, but an average insurance salesman Tom and his awesome girlfriend Samantha.
I've always wanted a silly world ending story like this, where average people continue to be average people and not reverting to strange medieval cannibals. The only other thing that I think comes close to this concept is probably welcome to night vale. I think the only problem with this was the ending. It was good but, (and I don't want to spoil it,) feels like there should be a sequel.
But overall, if you want to read a short and fun apocalypse story that doesn't turn into mad max or whatever, this is definitely for you.

Weird
But in a great way. The characters go through difference apocalyptic storm as if they were in weather storms. Interesting to say the least. Recommended
