Sub-Woofer

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.
