November 18th 2056, New York Times,"Geologists confirm the advent of planet EU56AB to Earth next week". They also stated," This might be the end of life on planet Earth so Evacuation should be in operation by Saturday".
Chaos in a matter of minutes dominated the peace of the world. Religious sites had started to fill with the inflow of communities seeking refuge. There was hustle bustle everywhere in context of the unseen tragedy. Extremist groups started forced conversions of people to their religions. Violence was at it's peak, since business activity had also stopped so soon attracting mobs and different raids which has said to have cost more than a million lives in Northern America and Asia each.
"Doomsday might be near but doesn't mean life will end", stated the US president in his speech on Thursday night, two days before the Evacuation was to start. "We will face it with courage just like we humans have been in the span of history".
22nd November 2056, 12:00 pm Evacuation had already started. Everywhere existed serious disturbance, as if "Humans would end the world already even before doomsday", delivered The Iranian President Hasan Ali in his address to the world.
The fact that Earth had always been a temporary settlement for humans was emphasised today after Evacuation was in process. The Evacuation would escort everyone to a new planet that supported life and a prediction by Anthony Clinton stated,"We could possibly encounter fellow human beings on this planet to which we are evacuating", but was reached with much criticism from groups.
7: 24 pm and 47 massive shuttles had already escorted 45% of the population. After 11:58 pm the Earth was filled with nothing more than animals and birds who were yet in temporary peace which would be disturbed in a matter of one week. The space shuttles were well equipped with essential supplements for making survival possible and would reach the planet in two months if the speed was maintained. Fortunate everyone was hopeful for a new life with apparently newer people on the new planet but religious groups resorted to violence by declaring "No one has the absolute right to evade the predestined end", and started intense and brutal killings of people inside which costed 76 million lives in 18 shuttles among which 9 shuttles were destroyed in the vacuum of space and time.
One month had already passed and food supplies were falling short. This caused serious famines within many shuttles and that it was extremely hard to share resources from shuttle to shuttle. Although some 8 million lives were lost in this tragedy but this was the last one humans had to face because another month had already passed and now the new planet was materialising in their view as they were moving closer, after which they landed on an airport which was strangely the same as it used to be on Earth.
All the shuttles successfully landed but weren't welcomed so cordially. "Sir we have a figure of 124 shuttles landing on SHAU AIRPORT from outer space without any information". The airport security surrounded the shuttles but humans were successful to convey the whole story to the staff after which it became famous in the entire planet, about the arrival of fellow extra terrestrials who evaded massive destruction on their planet successfully. The US President announced how they would not create any difficulties for the people by confirming peace and harmony between the two peoples. There were different celebrations made for the Earth comers to the new planet. Different feasts were prepared and refugees were offered houses to live in, although folks were suspicious of any secretive activity from the Earth comers. The land was so much better than that of Earth and luckily both palnets had the same humans but with the same language which caused the earth comers to call this the mirror world which it could possibly be but less did the
WeWings didn't know that Earthcomers brought only their misfortune for the Wewings which would ultimately terminate two histories.
However this satisfaction was to be short-lived since on the next day on the new planet the same news sprawled the tensions of people that planet WeWing is also ending after the Leobah newspaper stated,"A meteorite will hit WeWing just this Sunday upon the consent of Geologists which will cause this world to end". Evacuation would be practiced again but won't be successful enough. The predictions were inaccurate this time. The meteorite would hit the planet just day after tomorrow which was confirmed on the same day unfortunately. Before Evacuation could have possibly started the meteorite could be seen from a distance travelling faster than sound and in 30 minutes two histories ended.
Fire had dominated the beauty of the planet and everything was made into lava even human bodies. It was the day when doomsday was demonstrated and above all the fact that no one can escape the tragedy of that day. History had ended after man's destiny resorted to sheer violence.
Not just the planet but the the fabric of space and time was disturbed as well. Nothing existed beyond fire since the friction was so intense that literally everything transformed into lava. It was like everything had turned into hell.
One planet brought its luck for the other planet and both combined lost their history and existence. There was absolute quietness in 5000degrees of temperature in rivers of lava. Not even a cell survived.
Although life had ended but a new life was to start on earth and wewing soon after God would make the planets suitable. Humans would rejoice a new life in the same world but would settle temporarily.
Doomsday is a reality that cannot be reversed or evaded. Once it comes its strikes and ends whatever there is. Its is the wrath of God in it's intensity and level of destruction it demonstrates. However with what ends a new reality begins but nothing lasts forever for indeed everything is mortal and limited for sure.

This is very well written and the concept is interesting. It reads like a Twilight Zone piece. For me as a reader thought, I had a hard time reading it just because there were no characters to get attached to and feel bad for. This piece didn't really make me feel anything, no sense of urgency or even remorse because everything was so dry. Not even the narrator has any character to it. This felt like reading a chapter from a history book in school but if I were an omniscient being. But that's just my two cents. Very well written.
