Some Story——The Next Cataclysm

With a rumble so low as to be inaudible, growing, throbbing, then fuming into a thundering roat, the earthquakes starts….only it’s not like any earthquake in recorded history.

In California the mountains shake like ferns in a breeze; the mighty pacific rears back and piles up into a mountain of seawater more than two miles high….then starts its race eastword.

With the force of a thousand armies the wind attacks, ripping, shredding everything in its supersonic bombardment. The unbelievable mountain of pacific seawater follows the wind eastword, burying Los Angeles and San Francisco as if they were but grains of sand.

Nothing – but nothing – stops the relentless, overwhelming onslaught of wind and ocean.

Across the continent the thousand nile-per-hour wind wreaks its hell, its unholy vengeance, everywhere, mercilessly, unceasingly. Every living thing is ripped into shreds while being blown across the countryside; and earthquakes leave no place untouched. In many place the earth’s molten sublayer breaks through and speads a sea of white-hot liquid fire to add to the holocaust. Within three hours the fantastic wall of seawater moves across the continent, burying the windravaged land under two miles of seething water caost-to-coast.

In a fraction of a day all vestiges of civilization are gone, and the graet cities – Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Dallas, New York, Boston – are nothing but legends, barely a stone is left where millions walked just a few hours before.

A few lucky ones who manage to find shelter from the screaming wind on the lee side of a high mountain peak – such as Mt.Massive – water the sea of molten fire breaking through the quaking valleys below. The raging waters follow at supersonic speeds, piling higher and higher, steaming over the molten carth-fire, and rising almost to their feet. Only great, high mountains such as this one can withstand the cataclysmic onslaught.

North America is not alone in her death throes. Central America suffers the same cannonade – wind, earth-fire, and inundation.

South America finds the Andes not high enough to stop the cataclysmic violence pounded out by nature in her berserk rage. In less than a day, Ecauador, Peru, and western Brazil are shaken madly bt the devastating earthquake; the Andes are piled higher and higher by the Pacific’s supersonic onslauht as it surges over itself afainst the mountains. The entire continent is burned by molten earth-fire, buried under cubic miles of catastrophically violent seas, then turned into a frozen hell. Everything freezes. Man, beast, plant, and mud are all rock-hard in less than four hours.

Europe cannot escape the onslaught. The raging Atlantic piles higher and higher on itself, following the screeching wind eastward. The Alps, Pyrenees, Urals, and Acandinavian mountains are shakeen, then heaved enen higher when the wall of seawater strikes.

Wrastern Africa and the sands of the Sahara vanish in nature’s wrath, under savage attack by wind and ocean. The area bounded by Zaire, South Africa, and Kenya suffers only sever earthquakes and winds – little inundation. Survivors there marvel at the Sun, standing still in the sky for nearly half a day.

Eastern Siberia and the Orient suffer a strange fate indeed – as though a giant subterranean scythe sweeps away the earth’s foundations, accompanied by the wind in its screaming symphony of supersonic death and destruction. As the Arctic basin leaves its polar home, eastern Siberia, Manchuria, China and Burma are subjected to the same annihilation as South America: wind, earth-fire, inundation, and freezing. Jungle animas are shredded to ribbons by the wind, piled into mountains of flesh and bone, and buried under avalanches of homogenized seawater and mud. Then comes the sudden, seemingly infinite supply of terrible, instantly paralyzing temperature drop of 180 degrees F. not man, beast, plant, muck, earth, nor water is left unfrozen in the entire eastern Asian continenr, most of which remains below sea level.

Antarctica and Greenland, with their ice caps, now rotate around the earth in the Torrid Zone; and the fury of wind and inundation marches on for six days. During the sixth day the oceans start to settle in their new homes, running off the high grounds.

On the seveth day the horrendous rampage is over. The Arctic Ice Age is ended – and a new stone age begins. The oceans – the great homogenizers – have laid down another deep layer of mud over the existing strara in the graet plains, as exposed in the Grand Canyon, Painted Desert, Monument Valley, and the Badlands.

The Bay of Bengal basin, just east of India, is now at the North Pole. The Pacific Ocean, just west of Peru, ia at the South Pole. Greenland and Antarctica, now rotating equatorially, find their ice caps dissolving madly in the tropical heat. Massive walls of water and ice surge toward the oceans, taking everything – from mountains to plains – in gushing, heavung paths, while creating immense seasonal moraines. In less than twenty-five years the ice caps are gone, and the oceans around the world rise over two hundred feet with the new-found water. The Torrid Zone will be shrouded in a fog for fenerations from the enormous amounts of moisture poured into the atmosphere bt the melting ice caps.

New ice caps begin to form in the new polar areas. Greenland and Antarctica emerge with verdant, tropical foliage. Australia is the new, unexplored continent in the North Temperate Zone, with only a few handfuls of survivors populating its vastness. New York lies at the bottom of the Atlantic, shattered, melted by earth-fire, and covered by unbelievable amounts of mud. Of San Francisco, Los Angles, Chicago, Dallas and Boston, not a trace is left. They all will join the legends of the seven cities of Cibola.

What’s left of Egypt emerges from its Mediter-ranean inundationg new and higher – still the land of the ages. The common place of our time becomes the mysterious Baalbek of the new ear.

A new era! Yes, the cataclysm has done its work well. The greatest population regulator of all does noce more for man what he refuses to do foe himself and the planet on which he lives, and drives the pitiful few who survive into a new stone age.

After this cataclysm we join Noah, Adm and Eve, Atlantis, Mu, and Olympus- and Jesus joins  Osiris, Ta’aroa, Zeus, and Vishnu.

伴随着低到听不见的隆隆声，地震开始了....，它与历史上任何一次地震都不同。

在加利福尼亚，群山像微风中的蕨类植物一样摇晃；强大的太平洋海水倒灌，堆积成一座两英里多高的海水山....，然后开始向东奔流。

狂风以千军万马之势袭来，在超音速轰炸中撕裂、粉碎一切。令人难以置信的太平洋海水山随风向东，将洛杉矶和旧金山掩埋，犹如沙粒一般。

没有什么--但是没有什么--能阻挡风和海水无情的、压倒性的冲击。

在整个大陆上，每小时一千尼罗河的狂风无情地、无休止地肆虐着它的地狱、它的邪恶复仇。每一种生物在被吹过乡村时都会被撕成碎片；地震不会放过任何一个地方。在许多地方，熔融的地表下层破土而出，喷射出白热的液态火海，为这场浩劫锦上添花。在三个小时内，奇妙的海水墙横跨整个大陆，将这片饱受风灾的土地从头到尾掩埋在两英里深的汹涌海水中。

在短短的一天内，所有的文明遗迹都消失了，洛杉矶、旧金山、芝加哥、达拉斯、纽约、波士顿等大城市只剩下了传说，几小时前数百万人走过的地方几乎连一块石头都没有留下。

少数幸运儿设法在高山（如马塞夫山）的背风处躲避呼啸的狂风，在熔融的火海中冲破下面颤抖的山谷。汹涌的水流以超音速追赶，越积越高，蒸腾着熔融的火焰，几乎升到了他们的脚下。只有像这里这样的高山才能抵挡住大灾难的冲击。

在死亡的阵痛中，北美洲并不孤单。中美洲也遭受了同样的炮击--狂风、地火和洪水。

南美洲发现，安第斯山脉的高度不足以阻挡大自然在狂怒中发动的灾难性暴力。在不到一天的时间里，埃考多尔、秘鲁和巴西西部都被毁灭性的地震震得摇摇欲坠；太平洋的超音速冲击波将安第斯山脉越冲越高。整个大陆被熔融的地火焚烧，埋葬在方圆数英里的灾难性狂暴海洋之下，然后变成了冰冻地狱。万物冻结。人类、野兽、植物和泥土在不到四个小时的时间里全部坚硬如石。

欧洲也难逃厄运。汹涌的大西洋越积越高，顺着刺耳的风声向东而去。阿尔卑斯山、比利牛斯山、乌拉尔山和阿堪的纳维亚半岛的山脉都在摇晃，然后在海水墙的冲击下被推得更高。

非洲西部和撒哈拉沙漠在大自然的愤怒中消失，受到狂风和海洋的野蛮袭击。扎伊尔、南非和肯尼亚交界的地区只遭受了严重的地震和狂风，几乎没有被淹没。那里的幸存者惊叹于太阳在天空中静止了近半天。

东西伯利亚和东方的命运确实很奇特--就像一把巨大的地下镰刀，在风的伴奏下，以超音速的死亡和毁灭交响乐，扫荡着大地的根基。随着北极盆地离开它的极地家园，东西伯利亚、满洲里、中国和缅甸也遭受了与南美洲同样的毁灭：狂风、地火、洪水和冰冻。丛林里的动物被风撕成碎片，堆成骨肉山，被同质化的海水和泥浆雪崩掩埋。随后，可怕的、似乎无穷无尽的温度骤降 180 华氏度，令人瞬间瘫痪。在整个东亚大陆，没有人、野兽、植物、泥土、土地或水不被冻结，大部分地区仍在海平面以下。

南极洲和格陵兰岛及其冰盖现在在托里德区围绕地球旋转；狂风和洪水持续了六天。第六天，海洋开始在它们的新家安家落户，从高地奔流而下。

第七天，可怕的肆虐结束了。北极冰期结束了，新的石器时代开始了。海洋--伟大的均质器--在格拉特平原现有的地层上又铺上了一层深厚的泥土，大峡谷、彩绘沙漠、纪念碑谷和荒地都是如此。

印度以东的孟加拉湾盆地现在位于北极。秘鲁以西的太平洋位于南极。格陵兰岛和南极洲现在在赤道上旋转，它们的冰盖在热带高温下疯狂溶解。巨大的水墙和冰墙向海洋涌去，将一切--从高山到平原--卷入汹涌澎湃的洪流中，同时形成巨大的季节性冰碛。在不到二十五年的时间里，冰盖消失了，世界各地的海洋随着新发现的海水上升了两百多英尺。冰帽融化后，大量的水汽涌入大气层，使托里尔区终日笼罩在浓雾之中。

新的极地地区开始形成新的冰盖。格陵兰岛和南极洲出现了葱郁的热带植物。澳大利亚是北温带尚未开发的新大陆，广袤的土地上只有少数幸存者。纽约位于大西洋的底部，被地火烧毁、融化，被难以置信的泥土覆盖。而旧金山、洛杉矶、芝加哥、达拉斯和波士顿则没有留下一丝痕迹。它们都将加入西博拉七城的传说。

埃及从地中海的淹没中脱胎换骨，焕然一新，依然是万古长青之地。我们这个时代的普通地方将成为新时代的神秘巴勒贝克。

一个新的时代！是的，大灾难已经完成了它的使命。最大的人口调节器没有为人类做更多他拒绝为自己和他赖以生存的地球做的事情，而是把幸存下来的可怜的少数人赶进了新的石器时代。

在这场大灾难之后，我们加入了诺亚、亚当和夏娃、亚特兰蒂斯、穆和奥林匹斯山的行列，而耶稣则加入了奥西里斯、塔阿罗阿、宙斯和毗湿奴的行列。
