Ground Zero
You decide to wait a bit. Maybe things will start getting better. You stay at home an entire month keeping up on events, and it only gets worse. You keep deluding yourself that things WILL get better, but they don't. Finally you realize you better leave soon.
You decide to leave first thing in the morning
Monday 8:00 AM
You groggily wake up and hear a loud continuous beeping noise. It's a test pattern on TV that you left on from the day before.
" BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE "
Your heart races.
This is it.
You scramble to your van as fast as you can, and drive even faster to the shelter. On your way there, you curse yourself for forgetting all the extra stuff you wanted to bring with you, but that becomes the least of your troubles when your van stalls out.
You desperately try to turn it back on, but it's not starting. You get out of the van and attempt to run all the way to the shelter.
As you run you notice the sun is shining strongly today, it's nearly blinding your eyes.
Then you see a bright light and then nothing at all.
