Stolen from cephiedvariable and urban_anchorite , predictably.

Give me one of my own stories, and a timestamp sometime in the future after the end of the story, or sometime in the past before the story started, and I'll write you at least a hundred words of what happened then, whether it's five minutes before the story started or ten years in the future.

Apocalypfic, about half an hour after the end of the story.

Alternatively or also, what about Secret Agent Pepper in Kiev?

The oceans had not turned to blood. Blood would have been preferable.

They glistened horribly in the light, which, ever inclined to loiter, was still making its slow and tilting way down to the too-slowly breaking waves, long minutes after sun and moon alike had been wrestled from their spheres and into storage crates[1].

And, above, past the dense clouds piled deeper than seas, where angels and demons fought beyond the reach of the light- beyond even the reach of the dark- there was a clink as someone threw a pair of dice down.

Snake eyes. Again.

OH, DAMN, said Death.

The things that had been known as Pepper and Wensleydale exchanged a look. Neither of them had liked Parcheesi very much even in what one could call life, and there was something outright galling about being forced into a CONVIVIAL GAME AMONG FRIENDS even after having sacrificed, really, everything, down to and including all but a grim parody of friendship

I HEART THIS.

esp. 'The slippery mass of T-shirted decay that sat across from them felt similarly, but for one small detail: he was winning.' / 'voicing the thoughts of 3/7ths of all parties present' / 'MOTOR VEHICLE LICENSING LAWS ALL OVER THE WORLD PROHIBIT US FROM DOING ANYTHING OF THE KIND.' / 'an angel and a demon, locked in mortal combat over the question of who had owed who a tenner when tenners were still a valid form of currency in the kingdoms of Earth and not so much kindling'

It is all v. appropriately icky. :'D
