They were preparing for the rapture of 2012. Must have been quite akward the following Sunday at church when everbody showed up.

I read an interesting take on 2012, which the Mayans or some ancient civilization also predicted. That the end of the world would be slow, and take years. It’s not going to be instant. I think it’s happening now, this cursed timeline that we’re all in.
