The Lone Star State

Chapter 1: Contact Lost

AN: I'm not too sure how this story will turn out but we'll see where it goes.
..........................................
The first thing that went through Abbot's mind was what was going on? Contact was suddenly lost with the rest of the U.S at about 6:38 P.M as a bright white light covered the sky.

Minutes after the event videos were suddenly posted on the internet. The governor saw it himself from  okthe Texas Capitol Building; he as with everybody else was confused at what was going on.

At 6:40 RADAR reports came in. Stating that the entire Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean could no longer be tracked or detected they were surrounded by nothing.

At 6:41 the bright white light that was above Texas disappeared and the sun was higher than it should've been. Soon afterwards nothing was happening, then RADAR reports came in that the Gulf of Mexico was smaller and a different shape even.

Followed by reports of roads leading out of the State were all suddenly cut off like someone cut a piece of a cake without considering the shape. Videos and pictures of Texarkana including its U.S Postal Service just abruptly cut in half. Its station, justice hall and other places were all cut in half. Across where the border with Arkansas would be was a small village police were beginning to investigate.

Along the Mexican-American Border Bridges were all cut in half as they crossed the Rio Grande leaving a massive cliff face that's thousands of feet deep. In other towns and cities along the Rio it wasn't as extreme but it was still bad they were all over 30 foot drop. In the Panhandle near the border with Oklahoma circle crops farms were all cut in half as they crossed State borders.

In other places such as Eastern Texas where the border followed the Sabine River not much is known about the lands there but probably isn't as good as what's going elsewhere.
"Texas-Arkansas " Border Texarkana Texas
20:05 hours
Deputy Liam, and his patrol SUV went down the dirt road that led to a small town or village of sorts where the border with Arkansas existed, now replaced with grasslands after driving for a few minutes reached the border of the small town. People looked at the Texarkana police vehicles in shock like they were aliens.

"Hey Sheriff, should we get out of the cars or wait for SWAT to arrive?" Deputy Liem asked.

The Sheriff answered, "We're going to try to make small talk with locals and wait for reinforcements."

He turned on his radio, "All units converge on our location. One Mile east of the Louisiana-Texas border. Send the call to surrounding towns for reinforcements if possible. We will be entering the unknown town." The Sheriff said.

The radio crackled in response "10-4"

"Alright Deputy you got the shotgun in case anything happens?"

"Yes sir I do." Deputy Liem responded.

"Alright let's go keep the gun down let me do the talking." The Sheriff ordered.

"Yes sir." The Sheriff and Deputy left their car and were met with a small crowd.

"Hello there. I am Sheriff Benjamin. I would like to meet with your town's leaders." The Sheriff said.

But everybody just stared at the sheriff like he's insane or something.

They were all quietly talking with each other about something in a language they didn't understand.

Soon yelling was heard and the crowd separated revealing a pair of men with long wooden bolt action rifles who wore a gray uniform and with leather pick hats. One of the two men came up to the Sheriff talking In an unknown language he couldn't understand.

"Sorry sir. I don't understand what you're saying." Benjamin responded, the man, clearly a soldier, brought up his rifle repeating what he said before this time louder.
