According to "The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch" (the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655, before she exploded), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner.

So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon—both of whom have lived amongst Earth's mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle—are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture.

And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist . . .


Disclaimer - I actually haven't read the original book yet! I kept meaning to, but suddenly clips from the new series (which I also haven't seen yet) were EVERYWHERE and I had to know what the fuss was all about.

As it was, I really enjoyed it. I know that it was naturally quite significantly abridged, but honestly I wasn't really reading it for the story (I'll pick up the original book for that) but to put the gifs and youtube clips into context. And for that purpose, it worked beautifully. I still want to watch the series, and I still want to read the original book, but this will tide me over nicely, until I get the chance to do either.
