Oh, well, I'm not going to say that's a great idea, but I wrote part of the script then I was dragged into something else, so the idea was left behind even if I think it's good. "Door to door armageddon"

The idea is that in this flat where some friends live together strange things happen: all of them catch a flu at the same time, then worms appear in their kitchen and they start fighting about stupid things.

One day someone rings at their door they open and there is this lady (or girl...) with a notepad which greets them: "Good morning, my name's Gabriel, and this is your personal Armageddon... or final judgement if you prefer... Did you receive pestilence, war and famine and wild animals?"

The people look at the person startled, to find out that their flu, the insects in the kitchen and their fights were a low version budget of three of the things she mentiones, wild animals still missing. She looks perplexed a bit then a cat comes running through the door, she smiles and checks another box in the notepad and says "Now we're ready."

She explains them that the apocalypse as originally thought was not approved by the steering committee of Heaven and Hell because it was too expensive, so they opted for a scaled down, long term, door to door armageddon. "...I mean: just imagine paying for travel expenses from the other world for all the dead people, end transport and all the scenery... the knights..."

To you how to pull it around from here. You can read this either as a look at low budget film-making, or have a bit of fun with theology and such.

...where's my cookie?

2 Chronicles 15:7 - But you be strong and do not lose courage, for there is reward for your work.

Why would anyone flat out post their ideas on the internet? People do steal ideas, guys.

Perhaps, but a good idea without a good script is pretty much worthless: that's why ideas can't be copyrighted.
