World Without End

"Times are good and about to get even better. It may take two or three days for things to pick up speed but once they do you will be on a roller-coaster ride of fun and games. Hang on and enjoy the experience." 

It's after midnight. In only four days, kids all over the world will be waiting for Santa. Me, I'm waiting for the end of the world as I know it.  
So far, nothing has changed. Investigation ID is still on the tube, and no one has bid on my Rolling Stones ticket stubs. Come on, people. I need cash for the carnival rides.
