  Content Info: This story contains depictions of gore and self-inflicted harm. 
  The apocalypse is here, and I'm snug in my apartment with cookie dough and despair. The internet and television are dead and I'm stuck in a wheelchair while the world falls apart outside. I'm alone, I'm tired, and I'm calm. Time for a final meal. 
  Wheelchair Seating for the Apocalypse is a story for all those who are tired of seeing the creepy kids, strong dudes and hot chicks populate every horror story. It is for the un-well human who is tired of being perceived as selfless and endlessly chipper because of their condition, as though we exist as an inspiration to others. 
  Sometimes it's empowering to choose not to fight.
