People are strange creatures. They go around saying they're social, but they don't really speak to one another. Thereby, they think they're the master of everything, but in the end some can't even keep the rain out of their house.
But, they are quite beautiful too. With their emotions so strong that it can destroy thousands of lives or save millions. They can think of the most ingenious things when given enough time. Their creativity is unseen with us. Human artists have made paintings and statues and pictures even Gabriel couldn't come up with.
But they are too noisy. It's so bizar that those creatures, with the ability to make earth a happy place for everyone, still choose to fight each other, torture people who don't agree with them or don't fit into their view of the world.
He gets sick of it and, with pain in His hart, He has asked me to finish everything. To the artists He will be personally apologising, they did have so much potential, but it has been too long now. Too many people have died with no apparent reason.
Too many people couldn't live up to their full potential because someone thought their skin colour said something about their intelligence.
Men are the most beautiful and the most cruel of them all and because of that, on this New Year's Eve, I will make an end to this world. I will cut off all the wars, but I will also finish off all this creativeness. He assured me that every single work of art will be brought to His personal gallery and will always be available for Us to come and take a look, but there will never be something new. After a few million years I will know every detail of every painting and I'll have to do with them.
But, He is right, we can't let the humans keep destroying themselves. In less then five minutes it'll be over. On the 31st of December 2016 the earth will be freed from human beings. They will count down to twelve o'clock, saying their resolutions for the next year but there will be nothing left.
I'm staring down at them. I would love to go to them and talk, but it is easier this way. I quite regret that I never really tried to have a conversation with one again, let alone have a real relationship. But in the end, it would have made this moment so much harder.
The countdown has started. 'Ten', I hear them screaming on the square below, 'nine, eight, seven'.
Why can't time slow down a bit. Just long enough for that one girl to see that she is beautiful. For that one boy to discover he is a football talent. For that one person to save someone's life by a random act of kindness. For that one child to become the new president.
'Six, five, four'
I already prepare for the big finale.
'Three, two'
I never thought I would be the one to do this. If we could only save a few, like we did with Noah, but He insisted to do it properly this time.
'One!'
Before they even could say:' Happy new year!' I rose up. For them it would be no more than a bright light. No pain, no grief, no sadness... just a bright light comming from the sky.
'Goodbye, earth, and I'm sorry!'
Now everyone looks up. They will believe now. But what does it matter? He has never denied anyone in paradise just because they didn't believe.
And with one little movement, I ended the human race. A race with so much potential and so much hate.
Now, all noise is gone. For the first time in millennia I felt something again.
I felt regret. Deeper then ever, even being betrayed didn't come close to the feeling I'm having now. But then I heard Him. 'Well done Jesus. They're save with me.'
