Flash Friday: "End of the World"

Lord Levan III snorted. "Your kind have made such predictions before."

Lord Levan screamed as a white cloud descended from the skies. It crushed the castle tower, the city, the world, and everything else in the universe.

Stanley frowned as he pulled the Q-tip out of his navel.

His wife made a face at him. "Would you go clean your bellybutton somewhere else?"

Stanley frowned. "Do you hear screaming?"
