The dark descent

What happens after Christmas? You're lucky to not know. You'll be even luckier to never find out. Those who are smart will hide for the six days following Christmas Day. Those who are foolish? Well, let's just say, whatever possesses them sure isn't the Christmas spirit. Ignorance is bliss, and in this case, it's a lifesaver. For six days, there is freedom. For six days, your sins will not be documented. For six days, there is no naughty or nice, and this is because, for those few days suspended between Christmas and the new year, Santa isn't watching. And it would seem,

neither is God.

The apocalypse begins on the 26th of every December. When people know their actions bear no consequences, their actions wreak havoc. Crime. Vandalism. Murder. Treason. Riots. Gangs. Shootings. If humanity has no reason to behave, why should they? Yeah, Santa Claus came to town, but then he left. And in his wake, destruction. Chaos. Darkness. It's the descent of humanity. An ongoing cycle of suffering and pain, and all for what? So we can get revenge for the rewards we didn't receive this year? So we can give ourselves the Christmas we know we deserve? Or is it so that, for the other 359 days, we can be on the nice list? Trust me when I say, if you think you want to know what happens after Christmas, you don't. Because, until the first day of the new year, the world you thought you knew turns into a living hell.

One you don't want to be a part of.
