Prologue to Part One: Forani
"Glorious! Just glorious!" Forani let out his version of Hallelujah! If others were around him at that moment, he would have requested they play, 'Hail to the Chief' in his honour.
Not being a religious man, he preferred mathematical and computer computations to prayer, so once his thermonuclear blasts detonated, he watched the computer's calculation matrices whiz and whir until the numbers were in:
He had done it. The Earth was shifted on its axis. Mankind would benefit from his mathematical and thermonuclear wizardry.
His name would be forever emblazoned as the Saviour of the Human Race.
-----------------------
As the unplanned unleashing of magnetic forces proceeded, these forces broke through the earth's ionosphere to reach the troposhere. That is when the planet's oceans were swatted.
The earth's ground would not escape a swatting either. Anyone standing on solid ground felt a solid push that lifted first their feet off the ground then their legs to where their navels used to be.
Those who were seated or lying felt their nerves vibrate like a harp's strings when plucked with intention.
Forani sank into his large arm chair that reminded him of when he used to sit on a swinging chair on his parent's porch and drink lemonade. "Ah, those lazy afternoons in the summer as a child. Even then my Dad knew that the sun and I would become great allies."
