I didn’t know whether to feel amused or saddened by the ending. OK, your entry trumps all the others for choosing the most anticlimactic twist in history. The title barely does it justice. ;-)

This proves the Scientologists correct. Without Xenu putting all of those Thetans into the volcano, the first true life form would have never evolved.
Awesome entry.

Definitely a dud. Onto the next world!
LOL

wow. sad. but definitely anticlimactic. lol john perkins. thanks for entering!

I think you win for going the farthest back in imaginable history. Great idea, very outside the history textbook box.

Please wait another million years. Definitely anticlimactic.

I loved this!!

Nicely done. The last line says it all. Now, is this what might have happened, or is this real life? I know it’s intended to be the former, but with the way things are it feels like the latter. And I’m with THX on this one: I think you went as far back as anyone could go.
