The Sky is Falling

The Announcement

We interrupt your regularly scheduled program to bring you this very important announcement from the President of the United States:

My fellow Americans, I come to you in a time of crisis. After NASA's futile attempts at stopping the impending collision with a pocket of space debris from the collision of Neptune and Pluto, they have notified me that their efforts have failed. I now urge all of you to bunker down as far as underground as possible. I have deployed the military to open up bunkers so that hopefully we can survive the attack. Good luck.

We will now resume your regularly scheduled program.

Are we on? Ok, ok. Hello America. Welcome back to CNN News. We are now suspending the rest of our program in light of the announcement from the President. We urge all of you to follow his orders as we ourselves are doing now.

Amanda walks into her house, slamming the door behind her. She dropped her bag onto the wood floor and calls out, "MOM?". Amanda's call echoes through the house. No answer except for the TV static coming from the living room. She walks into the living room and calls out again. Still no answer. Then she notices a note on the coffee table.
