What can go wrong? They always look after us. They create rules and systems that work for us, that are meant to protect us. Our only task is to obey those in positions of power. They said to remain inside, to get as much food as we can in the pantry; no one will be out, no shops will be open.

They said we have to wait 72 hours. They said it will come close; close enough to feel the extreme heat but not enough to destroy us. They said it will pass. They said ... Here comes the Sun!
