Max Queue: A Science Fiction Tree, Novella.
by Brian GarrisonPublish: Aug 30, 2018Science FictionBook Overview
No one answered when I called into shattered windows, nor could I see anyone inside. A couple of people ran past the front, along the Boulevard, a few more ran the opposite way. I wanted to believe they were running to help others, but I doubted it. I didn’t like the distant sounds of glass breaking and the still ringing alarm of the pawn store. I didn’t risk checking the shop’s front door.I flinched at the sound of a single gunshot, or something like it – not far enough away – and I looked to my wife, in the truck with the boys. She glared at me with an anger I'd seen often enough, but also an emotion I'd never seen in her before: Pale fear.
We were so naive, thinking the first quake had been “the big one.”
