Chapter One: Yellowstone
The Yellowstone National Park was a place of awesome-beauty, a
landscape of surreal contrasts exploding from the living rock, and shifting
mountains.
The molten core of the planet burned beneath its thin surface.
The cauldron of liquid rock boiled below the mantle.
In the park, the bubbling waters, and geysers gave the tell. Catastrophe
approached.

Chapter Two: Lift
The human scientists only noticed the volcanic activity
when the mountains surrounding Yellowstone Park began to lift.
It took the best geologists among to figure it out, and
that took years to complete.
Even then, they did not know how vast the problem was.
The volcanologists and geophysicists weighed in, a
small cabal of people.

Chapter
Three: Rumbling
The wildlife sensed it first; the buffalo, the elk, the wolves, and the
bears, they sensed the deep rumbling of the volcano, vibrations so subtle
that no human being could perceive it. They sensed the change that was coming
even while the finest scientific instruments showed the daily activity as
occurring within a normal range.

Chapter Four: The Blast
Every living thing on the planet heard or felt the explosion.
Global chaos followed quick upon the sound waves, with prayers in
every language rising up to meet it.
The tallest buildings in every city around the world toppled as the
planet jolted, and shifted on its axis.
Every person knew the end had come.

Chapter Five: The Axis
For nearly seven hundred thousand years the pressure grew, seven
hundred thousand years since the last eruption.
The pressure of gas and heat building beneath the earth, it was energy
the human mind could only comprehend in the abstract.
When the cauldera blew, Earth shifted on its axis and altered its
orbit around the sun.

Chapter Six: The Cloud
Thick layers of volcanic ash buried the majority of the North American
continent.
Fine particles of pulverized stone, and poisonous gas rose high into
the upper atmosphere, circulating around the globe. It blanketed the world,
blocking out the light of the sun, plunging the earth into a prolonged night,
and winter.
It was the end.

Chapter Seven: The Other Side
The eruption was a crucible, as the eruptions had always been.
Life on earth threaded the eye of the needle, most of it becoming
merely another layer of clay.
Only a few thousand people would live through it.
Half of the world perished within days, and most of the rest in the
year that followed.
