Leena had had no inkling of doom that day. She’d gone to bed at 1:00 p.m., after reading for an hour, but was awoken by a noise that she’d never heard before.
Tiptoeing down the stairs, she pushed aside the curtains.
The sky was suffused with a blood-red luminosity. A sound coming from beyond the building across hers chilled her bone-marrow – a prolonged scream at sub-woof frequency, unlike anything she’d heard.
Then, one by one, buildings winked out of existence.
And she spun alone, in space, at the centre of a blood-red nothingness.
A sub-woof frequency scream emanated from her throat.
