In the end there was darkness and in its wake came chaos. In an instant nearly the entirety of the world’s human population vanished. Many of those that remained died in the chaos that ensued moments later. Imagine, if you will, empty airplanes plummeting from the sky into empty houses, fields, oceans, highways. Wild fires blooming from unmanned fryers, ovens, and stove-tops. Train cars without brakes or bypass tracks finding their eventual stops crowded with other empty cars. TVs broadcasting empty studios. The clatter of inanimate objects crashing to the ground all at once, clothes, phones, cups, cigarettes, weapons, eye glasses, toys, cheeseburgers, prosthetics and implants. No more Facebook or Twitter posts. Unlimited internet bandwidth. A highway in which all of the cars traveling at various speeds were suddenly driver-less... except yours.
