The end of the world for an hour

Cherine’s cries echoed over a powerless New Durham.  Inside the barn the TV that was not being watched fell silent, the radio that was drowned out by the TV and dogs playing lost it’s voice.  The light bulbs that over powered the light of day shut off. We were left with silence and the bight natural light that hurt our eyes.   Cherine leaped from her chair and ran out side ( I am still unsure why this happened. In asking she said she went out to see if she could hear anything.)  She did come back in telling me that aliens have blown up New York and we are next and to prepare for the end of the world. (I think we were to wait for someone on a horse to come by and tell us in the next day or two if this was true)

For the next hour she cried much like the lion in the wizard of OZ that we are doomed and sure to never be able to eat again, freeze to death with out her electric blanket, yelling at the top of her lungs “Give me running water or give me death!!”.  Cherine was Cut off from the out side world and worried how she was going to heat up her Mac and cheese for lunch.

By the time she was done dogs had on tin foil hats, were under beds and crying for there mothers.  Fires were being built with chairs and books out in the poop trash cans out in the yards (poop bags taken out of the can 1st)and they were all ready to each one another to live a little longer.
