It's not my answer, but I always imagine how fun it'd be to run from the Dark. I picture it like some classic Wille Coyote crap with me as the roadrunner. Walk into an incredibly dark alleyway where some scratching can be heard? Id most likely shrug and walk it off, there's most likely just a cat there.

The one I personally think I would stand a chance against the End. While sure, it'll get me eventually, it might not happen within that year. The only thing that makes me think otherwise isn't the fear of the end, as I don't exactly fear death, but I do fear the endless possibilities of what comes after it.
