[Quiet Man Cometh]

My aunt had a simple take to it. It's the end of the world, why are we worried? Have an extra beer.

I guess the whole supernatural/spiritual thing adds an element of fear beyond simply dieing with everyone else. I'm personally curious about all the stories that involve the end of the world in some way. From what I've read (which admitedly isn't much) total destruction of the planet is rare. Usually it's more the end of the world as we know it and a rebirth later, but we remain in the same plane, so to speak.
