I'm sorry I took so long to reply ;A;
When I thought of the prompt, I always percieved it as England willfully ignoring what was in front of him and seeking comfort in the other person's words. So it was quite a whammy when England died really believing in America. *shivers*
I also like how England has been desensitised by the apocalyptic predictions in the past (along with his trust in America) has allowed him to honestly believe that the end isn't nigh.
The juxtaposition in the last part is amazing. And I love your description of the volcano: (They all know what it means, and they pray and they pray because there’s nothing else to do, and some of them try to run but they don’t get far, and then the earth is cracking and roaring and spewing forth Hell) (The lava spurts so high that it leaves pinprick stains on the sky, like stars in these heavens of ash and smoke and gas and death)
I love this line too: It dawned on him that if the stars were to fall from the sky right now, no one would see the end of the world approaching through the lights of the fireworks.
And I never knew about the Yellowstone volcano! I have learned of another way for the world to end!
