Where had they all come from, Jean wondered. Just 5 minutes ago this stretch of road had been black as the grave. Now it shimmered and glimmered with uncountable headlights. Looking further northward she could see that the flow of traffic was increasing rather than decreasing.
Even more troubling was the number of flashing red and blue emergency vehicle lights. Even with all the lights flashing, there were no sirens. In fact, it was eerily quiet.
Then she saw it – far to the north the horizon was tinged an ugly deep orange as if the earth had opened up and fire was oozing out to cover the northern mountains.
As she continued watching she saw a thick fountain of deep orange fire climbing skyward. Then she felt the concussive thump and knew tonight as the beginning of the end. The Earth’s fury was finally manifest, and humanity was its target.
