Radioactive Weather
I extended my arms as I looked around the thick white cloud that descended so quickly upon us. I could only make out figures in the smog and crashed into them as I gingerly advance into more nothingness. This weather event is unusual but seems a pre-curser for more to come just as Jack tried to explain to the weather board, to no avail.
Where is he? “Jack!”, I called out in despair. Even though it seemed of no use in the abyss, as my voice appeared sucked into the wall of clouds around me. Still, I called for him again, hoping he’d hear me soon or materialise as one of the gray figures.
What’s that? Another sirene wailed in the distance. People start running in the now graying cloud now thinning a bit. I thankfully could make out a street light but 5 steps away and as I dart for it got pushed into it hurting my shoulder. He could be anywhere! I must find a way to make contact with Jack or reach the reactor before it contributes further to the climate dilemma or worse, becomes radioactive and implodes.
