How it begins
First, a title card sequence with quotes by Woody Allen, Groucho Marx, and Ernest Renan about time.
You might be anyone, carrying the Apocalypse Clock, your sleeping cat Sara, and a pencil. You're on your bed in your messy bedroom. They call you "paranoid". But when your Apocalypse Clock beeps and starts counting down to doomsday, guess who has to pull a Duke Nukem to stop the end of the world?
