In the year 2012, the end of the world as we know it was predicted.
The 13 Heavens and 9 Hells were each 52 years long (1,144 years total). Each of the 9 Hells were to be worse than the last. On the final day of the last Hell (August 17, 1987), Tezcatlipoca, god of death, would remove his mask of jade to reveal himself as Quetzelcoatl, god of peace.
In the mythology of the Aztecs, the first age of mankind ended with the animals devouring humans. The second age was finished by wind, the third by fire, and the fourth by water. The present fifth epoch is called Nahui-Olin (Sun of Earthquake), which began in 3113 BC and will end on December 24, 2011. It will be the last destruction of human existence on Earth. The date coincides closely with that determined by the brothers McKenna in The Invisible Landscape as βthe end of historyβ indicated by their computer analysis of the ancient Chinese oracle-calendar, the I Ching.
The Mayan calendar is divided into Seven Ages of Man. The fourth epoch ended in August 1987. The Mayan calendar comes to an end on Sunday, December 23, 2012. Only a few people will survive the catastrophe that ensues. In the fifth age, humanity will realize its spiritual destiny. In the sixth age, we will realize God within ourselves, and in the seventh age we will become so spiritual that we will be telepathic.
The world as we know it ended. In anticipation for this, the United States government assumed that what they predicted was that our enemies would destroy us, completely misreading the prediction. They sent nuclear bombs across the world, destroy many countries. Russia, having learned their plans, did the same, sending bombs to America as well.
There were few that survived this catastrophe, also as it was predicted. And although we did not know it, this was how the world was to end. We, in our fear and desperation, would kill ourselves.
The few that were left were telepathic, this power limited to sharing our thoughts through pictures only, not words. We had not known that it was literal in the fact that we would be telepathic.
The world had endedβ¦and yet just begun.
Those, who were killed, did not die from the bombs, they wereβ¦altered. They came back to life, as the living dead. Though, there were different variations of these βzombies.β
Those who were βkilledβ in the nuclear war, are the grunts. The least intelligent of the zombies. These are the ones that drag their feet, have no human likeness, and are savages.
The ones who are turned by the grunts, are like their maker, but they are better. They are stronger, faster, smarter, but still, they hardly show a human likeness.
Then there are those, who already had a gene in them. This gene could never have been found by any doctors, or microscopes. It was something not predicted by anyone, that when the world came to an end, and we had our new enemies, that those among us were already like them, and this was just a trigger to set the gene off, and make them like their lesser βsiblings.β
The people with this gene still look like humans, like their former self, but they hunger for human flesh. They are also smarter than the other zombies, and also smarter than they were when they were humans. They are faster, stronger, and they can hold intelligent conversations, learn faster, and strategize. This is who the few remaining humans fear the most.

The bomb had been dropped a few states away from them, so they didnβt really know anything had happened. But the winds pushed the debris into their town, and there was a dust storm. Neither of them could see anything for several minutes, but Demetri had been holding his girlfriend; Addy, and he had felt her body stiffen as it happened, but there was something else that he couldnβt describe. When the storm had finally finished, and they could see, but there was still dust in the air, this was what he saw of his girlfriend;
