Babe, forgot to tell you this. Listen, this guy knocked at the door one night, said that he had something important to discuss with you. He was very handsome, well-groomed. You were inside, watching Netflix. I said that you were the previous tenant, that I didn’t know where you had gone.
Anyway, the reason I didn’t tell you, that was the night that we rushed outside and saw the flash and then the mushroom cloud to the north (San Francisco). Then, the same thing, only brighter, to the northeast. San Jose, we thought.
Since then so much has happened. So much.
Leaves so much open to speculation. Very clever.
Hello Jeff,
Agree with Doug! Great hook for a longer story. Well done flash.
I’m invested! A longer dystopian tale must follow.
