Chapter 2
no one knew
Year 2056
When Aayden woke the world wasn't over and the missiles had worked or they hadn't. No one knew.
The religious said that God intervened. The scientists when questioned came up with new theories every time they spoke; gravity did it, Einstein, astrophysics.
The politicians acted like they knew it all around. But no one knew.
Maybe it was God, maybe it was gravity, and maybe the asteroid was hollow: no one knew, but they were all instant experts.
Sure, the electricity was off for a few days, or more, and the water was too along with the fact that the world was so screwed up it made the Stock Market meltdown look like a minor glitch. But nobody cared; we were alive.
They had been given a second chance and were too busy laughing at the world leaders who said, in many different ways, that they had planned for it to happen like that.
Yeah right. A billion dollars in bombs went off and they didn't do a damn thing and they had planned it. Who were they kidding? God?
The only damage done was from the missiles knocking off a few chunks of asteroid and those rocks, meteors coming down, hitting a ranch in Texas, the Great Wall in China, and a few more things.
All anyone really knew is that earth had a second moon.
The second moon was a smaller one. Not so round. Not as far away as the good old moon. Some scientists have said that in the next five thousand years the old and new moon's orbits would cross and there could be a problem, but that is five thousand years away and we could mark it on our calendar like the Mayans did and maybe by then we'd figure out what to do.
