Sirens wailed nearby, signaling the townsfolk to take cover from a danger they had tried to convince themselves wasn’t real.

You couldn’t blame them… not really. It wasn’t like they had much time to accept the incoming news. And it wasn’t like the news sources in town were a hundred percent reliable. Even now, over half the town shrugged it off like it was just another drill. The townsfolk were...

For as long as anyone except Mr Grady could remember, the sirens on the old bunker only went off once a year, when Mr Grady ran the annual test. He wanted to still do the drill, like in the old days, all the townsfolk dropping what they were doing and hurrying to the old bunker to sit around for half an hour before going back to their lives.
