End in T minus 5 4 3 2

A mother and son are sitting silently on seperate couches in a lounge room, there are five minutes remaining till the end of the world.

Mother: Did you read that email from your uncle finally?

Son: No not yet

Mother: He would have really liked to have recieved a reply from you before the end

Son: Yeah I had other things on my mind Mom

Mother: It would have been nice for him to go knowing that you had thought of him

Son: I think for once it's alright to be selfish and just be thinking about ourselves

Mother: For once? Really? Just this one time?

Son: Stop it, you should be thinking of yourself as well

Mother: Oh don't be silly, i wont be missed

Son: No one will be missed!

Mother: im just saying it would have been nice...

Son: fine, ill send him a quick email

Mother: just a few words

Son: he probably wont even get it in time

Mother: its really the thought that counts

Son: theres only like a minute left, he'll only see it if hes online right now

Mother: its a nice gesture

Son: anything to just get you off my back

*getting and going the the desk and typing sounds*

Son: There. Its done. Am I a nice person now?

Mother: Did you say you loved him?

Son: No mother, he's an uncle.

Mother: What does that mean "he's an uncle"? He's family. I used to always tell my uncles and aunts I loved them

Son: That was a different time mom, an uncle loving time, all you had to do back then was drive in old cars and love uncles.

Mother: Tell him you love him, just put it at the end

Son: I already sent it! Im not going to send him another email that just says "I love you" that would weird.

Mother: No one will know

Son: I'll know, it might be the last thing that ever happens to me

Mother: He's your uncle

Son: Fine. *typing* Iiii Lllllooove yyyyouuuuu, send! There are you happy?

  1. This is great. It would be lovely to have a whole series of these, just the conversation that two people have in whatever situation just before the end of the world...
