Chapter Four: The Blast
Every living thing on Earth, above ground or in the air, heard the
explosion. Everything, even the most remote creature in the deepest ocean, felt
the blast. Every creature walking or standing, stumbled and fell, as the planet
lurched, and shuddered, and shifted on its axis.
Fault lines cracked open, leaping a thousand years forward in the space
of seconds.
It was turmoil.
Skyscrapers came crashing down in cities around the world, as the
continental plates groaned and twisted.
Low orbiting satellites fell from the sky.
Chaos followed quickly upon the sound wave. The desperate prayers of the
dying, and the faithful rose up to greet it.
In security centers around the world, the most astute military planners
new what had happened. They were utterly bewildered by the scope and the
magnitude of the devastation.
They level of instantaneous destruction was beyond any calculation, the
affected collateral systems was not anything that anyone had conceived.
Communications were down around the globe.
Nuclear reactors were off line and melting down.
Tsunamis were rising in the shallow seas.
It was the end of the world.
