Finally, another chapter. I was struck by a sudden case of writers block. Anyway, all it took was a piece of cheesecake and a couple of Shirley Temples to get me up and writing again. So, enjoy.

Disclaimer: All I own is a math notebook and a couple hundred teddy bears. MB owns all.


The first thing she noticed was that the sky was green. The second was that it was deathly quiet. And the third was that everyone was gone.

After she searched the top floor of the house, she ran down the stairs and found Puck, collapsed on the couch and staring at the TV in the living room.

"Where is everyone?" she demanded. Puck jumped.

"Sabrina, oh God. Everyone's gone. The world is ending." He said. His voice was weak, shaking.

"Sure, right. Like I'll believe that. Now where is everyone, and why is the sky green?"

"I'm serious. No one knows what's happened. Everyone's gone. I checked. Snow White, Nottingham, and your family… everyone's disappeared.

"Yeah right." she mumbled. "This is just another one of your sick practical jokes." She glared at the boy.

He frowned at her, shaking his head. "Last night, something happened. Something's wrong. It's on CNN and everything."

He lifted his finger to the television, which was playing softly.

"We are receiving reports of widespread tsunamis. The coasts of Oregon and California are completely submerged." The newsman paused. Sabrina realized he must have been hearing something over his earphone. He gasped, and his face paled. "Are you sure? This has been confirmed?" He cleared his throat and continued. "We've just received reports that California is underwater. Flooding has continued inland, to Arizona. The Grand Canyon is filled to the brim. We… the Statue of Liberty has been washed out to sea."

A strange mix of a sob and a cry of anger escaped Sabrina's lips. In New York. The Statue of Liberty. No.

"There are reports of tidal waves twenty feet or higher in Miami. All power is gone there, so these reports are sketchy. It has been confirmed that most of Maryland and all of Delaware have been submerged."

Sabrina sank to her knees. This could not be happening. She blinked away tears.

"Japan is reporting volcanic eruptions. Volcanoes that have been dormant for thousands of years are erupting. Visibility has been reduced to 12 feet. All but inland of Australia is gone, and the water is still coming. It is estimated that the continent will be gone by nightfall. There are no reports from Europe, South America or Africa. We can only hope…"

"It's everywhere." Puck said. "They don't have to hope. It's everywhere."

The TV blinked and went off.

Seconds later, the power followed.


Was it wonderful? Was it terrible? It was really fun writing from the newscaster's point of view, regardless. So, what are you waiting for? REVIEW!
