mun note: this takes place after The Fall's Gonna Kill You.
The world will end tomorrow. What do you do today?
The sky is falling down.
Or, at least, one hefty chunk of it is. We don't know where it's going to hit and we don't know when, but there's a Chinese satellite called Zodiac up there about to go into a two-thousand-mile-per-hour free-fall, and surely that is something to be worried about.
This is what I've been trying to warn people about all day.
This thing could crash into earth at any time, taking who-knows-how-many people with it, you understand. Nobody is safe from this, because we have no way of finding out where it is, and I don't want to be Chicken Little here, but-- The sky is falling.
So why is nobody interested?
I'm just a lowly assistant, here. There's a lot that they don't tell me, but there are some things they can't hide. I can see it in their faces, this fear, this disbelief, and I know something else is going on. And I know that Josh is scared, and that frightens me even more.
The sky is falling, but people can joke about that, 'cause there's something worse going on, something much worse that makes massive objects hurtling towards us at murderous velocities look like child's play. The world could be coming to an end tomorrow, and I'd be none the wiser.
I hope that I've jumped the gun on this one. I hope I'm misreading the signs, but something tells me we're in for something big.
Because the sky is falling down on us and nobody cares, so I'm left to wonder: What else is about to come crashing down on us? And who will it take with it?
