You see a fleck of something, ash, outside your window. You call 911 and a few other places. All busy. You try your father-in-law, a proffesor, in despiration. You hear a human voice, but cannot get a hold of him. You call again, and are put on hold. You see more ash outside the window. A song, "A Hard Day's Night," come sver the phone. It is skipping. Then outside you see more light, brighter, brighter, brighter. That's where the story ends. You can find it in the 1992 volume of Flash Fiction, edited by James Thomas, Denise Thomas, ans Tom Hazuka.
