I worry frequently about the Yellowstone supervolcano.
Remember Tom, it's probably more frightened of you than you are of it.
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Worry is not the right word for how I feel about the heat death of the universe or the sun swallowing the earth. It's more in the way of doom and despair.

For some reason, when I saw this, I thought Owen, as well as many other Buffista sprog and their parents might like it.
OMG, that is awesome!!
I do not worry about a Yellowstone volcano or the Sun dying, but I do definitely worry that an earthquake will level Seattle and/or make California fall into the ocean and then the US economy will be in chaos and even if I survive life will never be the same...
(Especially because I figure I am not the sort to make it through an apocalypse. I'd run out of food, loose my glasses, and get smashed by a truck or shot by looters)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Our sun won't supernova.
I am constantly trying to say, "betelgeuse" three times to summon that one because we can see it and it won't hurt us. But so far my attempts have been in vain.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Maybe the Mayan thing will work out for you.
I can't lie--I cross my fingers about that too. Those crazy wacky Mayans.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Pete worries about Mt. Rainier.
You know, Mt. Saint Helens was pretty fuckin' big and yet most humans are still alive.
I mean 57 deaths isn't nothing, but traffic pileups have taken out more.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I worry about a massive earthquake triggering a domino-effect of volcanic eruptions around the Ring of Fire, with resulting giant tsunamis.
Well, I say "worry". "Contemplate", maybe.

Because books.
I'm a lot more worried about the collapse of the economy than I am about natural disasters. But super viruses do freak me out a little.

Pete worries about Mt. Rainier.
The Cascadia subduction zone is really the more likely mega-disaster. Not that I will actually tell this to Pete. Because that leads nowhere helpful.
