...that's all you have until the sun dies and Earth, as we know it, dies with it. Do you go to grandma's house and bake cookies or swim in that smelly lake across the street that Mom always kept you from all these years?
Seriously... what would you do?

Oooh, crap. This is a depressing question. It feeds on the fear I have that makes me panic and shake, knowing you're going to die soon and having no power to stop it...so what would I do...
I would probably cry randomly while I drove and listened to music. Driving soothes me, music makes me happy, and if I have an hour before life is zapped off like a suddenly broken television, might as well do something that makes me feel like I have a LITTLE control over it.

I gave it some thought, and I know I'm supposed to say I'd do something deep and meaningful and touching, but, really, I know that deep down I'm really pretty crass and shallow, so here's what I'd do:
I'd drink every damn drop of alcohol I could get my mitts on. See, I can go from "zero" to "hangover" in the space of a shot, depending on how tense I am (which is usually "very"). So this would be a chance for a wide-open fall-down-drunk with no headcracker at the end of it. I'd drink every ounce of booze I could find, and then I'd climb in my Mini, and I'd drive ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILES AN HOUR the WRONG WAY up the freeway all the way to MINNEAPOLIS. With ABBA blaring from the stereo-- the modern Mini Cooper being, basically, a BOOMBOX YOU CAN DRIVE.
And then The Big Guy would decide NOT to extinguish the sun, and I'd flip D Maus into a ditch, and there I'd be, enjoying my ninety days in detox with a headache like a rhino stuck between my ears. But, uh, at least the Earth would be saved, right...?

Right so not enough time to dig a massive path to the Earth's core to buy some time...Okay. Well, in that case, I'm on board with punctuator's drinking plan. I think I'd call loved ones and friends through and take care of the goodbyes (and then make the really important calls: you know call a few ex-boyfriends, try to see if I can get JK Rowling on the phone to tell me how the Harry Potter series ends, call a few psychic hotlines and see if they saw this coming, etc.). Maybe head to my mom's--only I feel that there would be chaos outside, so maybe safest to stay put.
Sheesh, this is depressing.

Sorry for the depressing topic, guys.  I thought it was an interesting topic at the time... guess not. |

For me, it is an interesting topic. I'll probably muster all the guts I have to call to the guy I like and tell him (that I like him) and ask if he sees that coming. Then before I wallow in my own misery, I'll fast and pray that God will bring the sun back. Who knows? It might just work! ;D
