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?

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...
