The Story of the Last Trump by H.G. Wells

A strange and brief tale of the final day of Earth, where the last trumpet sounds and humanity meets its end. The narrative offers a cosmic and ironic view of apocalypse as characters try to understand and rationalize the supernatural event unfolding around them. The plot is more parable than story, offering sharp, surreal satire about belief, science, and the futility of resistance. It explores how people react when faced with the unexplainable. It’s a compact, darkly humorous vision of the world's final moment.
