I am reading a book called Good Omens that was written by Terry Pratchet and Neil Gaiman. This book is about to the prophecy of the Apocalypse, only it is a more of humorous version of that prophecy. It is similar to the movie, The Omen.
The story centers around an angel from heaven named Aziraphale and a demon from hell named Crowley. Despite being from opposite worlds and being opposite beings, they are best friends and are not interested at all in the coming of the Apocalypse. All they do is just watch as the events happen in the order they're supposed to, not participating at all.
If you've seen The Omen then you will probably recognize that the events that happen to Damien and his family are the main theme of the story. Good Omens is similar to it except that the events that surround Damien are more of the background theme instead of the main theme. Currently, Aziraphale and Crowley are drinking wine while reminiscing about their fun lives in the real world and how they will miss it all after the Apocalypse destroys it. Meanwhile the demons who were sent to the real world to assist Damien are making their move, doing things like getting Damien the monstrous hound from hell and testing if he is really the prophetic son by seeing if he gives the hound a monstrous name or not.
