Sirens are heard all around, unexpected and brushed aside as white noise. Chuck is on, because rewatching the series for the 4th time is the best way to spend winter break with no snow. The sirens are still going off by the time Sarah and Chuck actually decide to fight the badie this episode. Morgan makes a sarcastic comment at the end and it ends with a cliffhanger type revelation that makes you have to watch the next episode. Sirens aren’t stopping, Out of pure curiosity Netflix is exited and browsing starts to move toward the local news channels. President Obama is on the TV making a interrupting broadcast that is simultaneously broadcasted everywhere it can be. The phone buzzes twice.

        “My Fellow Americans, and fellow men and women of all sorts all around the world: Today scientists that look to the sky everyday of their lives found something that Bill Nye once called a very possible but unlikely near-future event. What they saw was not alien life, but an asteroid. An asteroid just a little smaller than our moon, is on a trajectory to collide head-on with our planet. The lives of everyone in the world is precious, and so we broadcast across all fronts, in all languages, possible. The message is that in the next 20 hours or so, there will be a collision that will change history for the Human Race as a whole. It is expected to wipe humanity off the map for good. No one has the slimmest chance of living through this event. Take this time then to tell people you love how you feel for them, and to forgive those you need to make rights with. If you’re religious, pray that God’s grace be with us. Now is not the time for petty crimes that you could assumedly get away with. I urge everyone again to make the most of their time while they still can, but don’t do it at the expense of others. Think long and hard about the people you care about, and let them know. Life, finds a way. Look to the sky and know that we are humbly put in our tiny insignificant place in the grand scheme of time and universe. Godspeed.”
        The phone screen is filled with notifications from all sorts of friends and family members. Peace is made for most. Mass suicides wipe out billions. True feelings told, accepted, reciprocated. Money is thrown into streets. Others wait helplessly in each others arms. After 20 hours there is only 3 billion alive still and waiting out the final minutes. A bright white light is seen and flashes across the sky. Then it stops. The asteroid missed earth entirely. People just waited, there was nothing else to do. They all hand engraved in their minds that it would come at sometime still. They Waited. Nothing happened. For possibly the first time in history, there was complete silence on the Earth. More than half the world’s population is dead due an unexplainable false alarm. The world wakes up to deal with the results of living a day with no tommorow.
