Week 3 Story: Noah and 2012

On the 25th day of December, God looked down upon the world and saw all the evil that spread across the nations. He saw the theft, killing, adultery, betraying, etc. He grew fed up with his creation of mankind and vowed to erase their existence from the world and start over from scratch. Before he unleashed his wrath upon all that was evil, he looked down once again to see if there was anyone pure left and this is when he stumbled upon a man named Noah. Noah was a man of his 30's and a husband and father of two children. God had seen all that was pure in Noah's heart and sent an angel to warn him of the epidemic to come and what to do. The angel told Noah that the world would be ending in 6 days and that he needed to build an ark, in this case a bunker, deep below the surface of the Earth and gather 2 of every animal, one male and one female, to keep safe.

Days went by and Noah started to finish his bunker deep below Earth's surface. It reach miles down with a giant set of stairs to access each floor of his bunker. After the ark was finished he and his family set out to gather 2 of each animal and bring them back. Of course this did not go unnoticed by the people who lived near Noah. They began to question what he was doing and why. Noah, a man of no fear except for the fear of God, told the city people that there was to be great destruction upon the world at the end of the 2012 calendar year. This frightened people causing mass panic. People went into a frenzy and started gathering everything and anything possible to survive. They boarded up their houses or sought shelter elsewhere for they not know what do come. All the while, Noah kept to his mission and gathered all the animals in pairs of 2. Once he was done, he locked the bunker above him and waited for the destruction of the world to come. 

Then the day came. December 31st of 2012. The day the world would be cleansed of its sins and evils. God unleashed his wrath and wrecked havoc onto everything that was his. Volcanoes erupted plunging everything in its path to ashes. Hurricanes swept through the lands and blew away all buildings and trees. Tornadoes took everything that was grounded and plunged it out of the ground and into the air. Even floods took over the world. Everything and everybody was gone and the lands were then covered in water. As everything was ending, Noah awaited patiently in his ark. He tended to his family and to the animals. He stocked up on enough food and water to last everyone weeks. Every day he would send a dove into the sky. If the dove came back then the the world was still covered in water and no land was to be seen. But one day, the dove did not come back. It had found land and settled down. Noah knew now that God's wrath was receding and fertile land was to be found. 

On the 4th week of the new year, Noah unlocked bunker and set everyone out from underground to the airs above. The land was bare and stripped of everything. Noah and his family would have to start a new and bring about a world of purity. God had seen that Noah had resurfaced, so he went to see him. When God met Noah, he vowed to never unleash his wrath unto the world like that ever again. He made a covenant with Noah in the form of a rainbow. One that stretched miles and a high as the clouds. Once the covenant was made and God had returned to the heavens above, it was time for Noah begin his long and enduring journey to rebuild.

Author's Notes:

In the book of Genesis in the Bible, God looked down upon his creation of mankind and saw all that was evil. He decided to flood the world and start over. However, he saw that Noah was pure and sent down and angel to warn him of the floods to come and that he build an ark to save the animals and his family. He was to bring back pairs of each animal, male and female. When the flood came, Noah and his ark sailed patiently across the oceans for months. One day, the dove that he sent out never came back so he knew that land was to be found. When he reached land, God told Noah that he would never flood the world again and build a covenant in the form of a rainbow to always remind them. In my version of the story, everything is essentially the same. The backbone of Noah and his Ark remained intact. However, in the book of Genesis, it was an older language that was more difficult to read, so I modernized my rendition in terms of setting and language used. There was also an enormous amount of detail included in the original story that I decided to trim down because it was very repetitive. Also in my version, Noah builds a bunker instead of a ship and it is set in the year 2012 where volcanoes, hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods scavenged the world.
