Apocalyptic Log: Difference between revisions

* The novel of ''[[Double Indemnity]]'' consists of entries from the main character's diary leading up to his [[Suicide Pact]] with the [[Star-Crossed Lovers|star-crossed]] love interest. In the film, the story is told from the mortally wounded protagonist's recording on his Dictaphone.

* The end of ''[[Rant]]'' by [[Chuck Palahniuk]] subtly implies a strange subversion of this. The interviews that make up the story are from a world that doesn't exist, but only because the events of the story caused it to cease existing. What's worse is that the story not only fails to tell the reader how to avert this "apocalypse" from happening again, it pretty much states that it can't be stopped, that it '''will''' happen again, and that nobody will ever notice except for the [[Complete Monster|twisted degenerates]] that figured out how to pull this trick. Basically, except for the few people who have become gods through murder and rape, the entirety of reality is one big [[Lotus Eater Machine]].
