The sirens went off in the early morning. It was an emergency. No one knew what to do at first. The nature of the emergency did not
immediately reveal itself.
Eventually, people ventured outside.
The sirens continued. The
emergency was happening. Life went on.
There were some differences.
Prices were higher; only to be expected, during an emergency. People saved less. There was more unprotected sex. Donut sales skyrocketed. Babies were born, got fat, grew up, got jobs
in the service industry. The sirens
wailed through it all.
Except for yesterday. Yesterday
the sirens stopped.
What do we do now?
