The End

The end. A term that simply cannot exist, supposedly. Who knows? It may exist, possibly in our minds, it may exist physically but just out of our sensory and technical grasp, or it may just not exist. What is "the end"? Why is "the end"? How is "the end"? Well, from 1546-1660, The End was a country, and a mighty one at that, before it suffered... the end. But the end was many other things too. It either possessed a physical anatomy or it laid as a concept.

## The Beginning of The End

It begins with your vision, your viewpoint. You have uncovered the details of The End by mouse highlighting to be simplistic, by light mode to be psychotic, or some other method to be intelligently insane. Now the details are coming to you, at your very hand. Or at least that used to be the case before the page just stopped working. Oh well, hopefully the story is good. The very first usage of "The End" was by Aberrician philosopher Barticus in 1305 BCE, who believed that there had to be a defined term for what ended a beginning, and not just "non-beginning". Barticus grew increasingly tired of this poor usage, especially through his colleagues. "*I will non-begin your life, foul beast!*" "*It's the non-beginning of the beginning all over again...*" "*Might someone tell me when this horrific, tragic cycle non-begins?*" Barticus called the usage of "non-beginning" after his invention of the end and ending "barbaric". "*Tibbled cruel in endimo enval ado bari in hatsiskis.*" We don't know what this quote means, but we're pretty sure it means "*What idiots you are for bearing such words.*" After his concept of "the end" came about, one half of the city of Tegolavidis praised him, the other half thought he was barbaric himself. The surrounding towns all thought he was barbaric. In his humble home, a resident from Ultemitidumo approached him, reported to have said "*welcome the non-beginning*", before Barticus was bludgeoned in the head and having his house burned down. Barticus faced the non-beginning that very night, but his concepts somehow survived ahead of the language he spoke. We have no idea how that works.

Later on, addition to the first concept of "The End" appeared. In 1046 BCE, great philosopher of Aberricia, Capritikos, made a book reinforcing Barticus's theory titled "The Beginning of the End". In this book, he went on many rants and ramble about Aberricia's negative view on this new concept and believed that they were all barbaric. In one famous passage, he wrote:

"To call the end the 'non-beginning' is merely nothing but an utter, preposterous, immoral, indecent, inappropriate joke. To end is to start a new beginning, not to refute the beginning itself. The languages of the world are changing and we must be open to progress, but it cannot thrive if it is hindered by red-cheeked baboons who have no amount of intelligence in their gray and foggy soul."

Before the book was written, Capritikos was already controversial in the city of Apritikos, in place of Tegolavidis which was burned down long before, for yelling at town residents for being barbaric and immoral. Several incidents were reported where he walked around without clothing, punching and kicking bystanders to the ground yelling "I have the body of a warrior." After the book, the residents of Apritikos, and all of Aberricia had enough of him. Instead of the abrupt and disappointing ending of Barticus, with his house burned down, the residents planned a very exciting ending to Capritikos. That same year, he was marched to the town square, where the largest crowd of people the world has ever seen at the time gathered. Capritikios was tied up over an abandoned well full of wood and fire, ready to be dropped in. An unknown executioner was sent to drop him into the burning well, reportedly saying "Time to meet your end," before dropping him in. However, because of the use of "end" as a term, the large crowd of people suddenly went for the executioner, causing a deadly stampede that ended at least 13. This was also the first time in history that bystanders tried to attack the man who was executing another man which they hated and thought was barbaric and immoral.
