    It''s the next day and Demetrius is clearly upset Richard walks in on him staring out the window "Bro you good?"


    Demetrius points to the bags Richard''s eyes go wide "No" Richard says this as they look at a bag missing liqour Demetrius "Yep, ya know this is like the first time I shot some people" Richard "ya don''t say". Seth walks in with Cal and Krazy. "Yo look what krazy got"


    Cal" dude yall gotta be careful with this much if we didn''t know yall we would be lit right now" both men sigh a relief. "We spent cash on that." Demetrius dabs up Cal and Krazy. Cal" aye G we got fixed for you. My boy was in from town brought a trailer so he can do some quick work for a quick buck and luckily he knew some people around here and they fixed your whip" Richard" see now this is how a day starts off" Seth" what bad news, good news" Demetrius starts rolling a blunt with Krazy " right.. bro" krazy continues grabbing weed and paper while Demetrius talks" cause I was gonna lose it. I had stuff in there my smell good for the bitches" krazy looks up after picking a paper he packed and started rolling, he replies with his tongue out on the paper"mhmm" nodding in agreement. Richard


    "Krazy you stay high. I''m surprised you get bitches"


    Krazy nod in agreement and sips on some water" I concur, and I''m surprised you get bitches when you crack cement when you walk" the other guys start dying Demetrius was speaking in laughs " nigga he called you 2 tons of fun" Richard looks at Demetrius and pans to look at krazy " I don''t know what the Bill Cosby rape special is talking about, he stay this high to catch up to his dreams of getting pussy," Seth Coo''s "that''s cold" Richard continues " besides you clean your cheap cheeto braids out" Demetrius " hold on there Peruvian don''t get mad at me cause I see my dick in the shower"


    Krazy chokes on some smoke and the rest of the guys are rolling. Richard is nodding" yeah okay, chinny Baha looking mufuka, you perform today don''t you. Don''t get in your feels and start crying when I get a bitch and you dont" Seth sits up" I seen you with one bitch, not like that though" Seth grabs the blunt passed to him by krazy. Demetrius puts his hand up" pause.. where are you bitches though" Richard cocks his head to the side" yeah bitch" he asks as cal and krazy look expectingly " look I get bitchs without looking desperate, I make it look fly like my Demetrius" they dab up as he continues " I just don''t look like Delta Airlines flushed me out the airplane with yo dusty looking ass" All the guys start rolling. Richard smiles and nods in approval as he gives Demetrius some dab commenting " okay shorty"


    Demetrius shakes his head laugh " and I''m fine with that, Peruvian"


    Demetrius starts to get up" ay it''s like 7 pm what''s the move" a hungry looking Cal yawns" food and bitches" All the guys nod in unison except Seth. He has a peculiar look on his face. " everyone check your phones, the clock, the clock radio and watches.


    Krazy starts to panic from the high" bro why are all the clocks different. What''s the real time!" Richard calms him" yo chill we have to just check with everyone else" they leave the room but notice the hallways seem oddly quite. That''s when krazy starts panicking again. All the guys yell at once"chill!." As they move toward the elevator. Krazy calms down" just saying something don''t feel right bro"


    Once they reach the lobby everyone in the hotel is crowding talking and demanding answers.


    "Whats wrong with the clocks!" A lady yells


    "Why has it been. Nighttime since yesterday and all day" Another demands. One man in particular yells out" why is the tempature rising outside when it''s suppose to be fall! It''s suppose to be colder not 108 outside. Even the animals are going crazy!" As he says that cal and krazy yells at the guys" look!. The animals are all huddle. There''s even a bear huddling with a dear and rabbit, loads of birds different kinds, cats, dogs foxes, they barricaded themselves in the parking lot." All the guys walks out and none of the animals react to them. Like they were invisible or waiting for an inevitable doom. Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.


    Next thing they hear is thunder so loud they thought bombs got dropped. Cal gesture" get back in here bro. They just said all events will be pushed back"


    Demetrius throws his hands up" this was my night bro, the fuck"


    Richard "right, i had a showcase for my company"


    Seth inputs" my team was suppose to win tomorrow"


    Demetrius " you might have a show on tomorrow, i won''t know when I get to do my show. "


    That''s when a tornado siren goes off and everyone starts evacuating underneath the hotel to there shelter. The manager yells out" i set up the shelter with radios back up generators, food and water and even t.v. so we can see what''s going on. If you do not go it''s up to you. Your choice"


    Once everyone starts evacuating the guys head to the there rooms. To watch the news.


    Once they arrive Seth turns on the Television.


    A new reporter is on and he is explaining the


    Situation.


    Across the globe there seem to be a change in weather, and the animals are huddling if you see them find the nearest shelter till adviced other wise. NASA has also shed some light on the situation stating this is one of the most powerful solar flares ever seen. We will also keep you updated with the correct time. So please stay safe and


    Stay tuned for updates.


    Krazy puts a hand on his chin and starts thinking out loud" solar flares don''t do this. Something big is coming and soon" the guys look at each other and start thinking of ways to prepare for the unknown events about to unfold.


    That''s when they get a call. Call picks up the phone cause he was the closest "uhuh. Okay thank you." He yells the guys with a look on his face" we got guest" richard" who is stupid enough to drive out with weather like this. Cal looks at krazy" his cousin"


    Demetrius asks surprised " homeboy that spotted the hunned" krazy" Yep. He was coming to have fun and help us out with the car and anything else" Demetrius " shit let''s go. Can''t stand being cooped up right now".


    Seth" what time is it" Richard looks at the t.v. one last time" news says 8:45 pm. With this stuff going on the bar down the block shouldn''t be to bad.


    The sirens stopped a while ago but the animals never left still huddled. Waiting sleeping peacefully. Now the city on the other hand was alive as ever. They head to a bar that was connected to another hotel just across the street. It seemed people were doing anything but watching the news.


    Cal was leading the group through the bar with Krazy next to him. He gets the bartenders attention and nods at the bartender who nods at a bouncer. The bouncer opens a door and let''s them through.


    They make there way through a hallway with the bass being drowned out the further you go in Cal starts talking" my cousin owns the bar and his wife owns the hotel. My brother is here with his guys fixing the car." As he says that leading them to a garage with cars getting worked on. Some in lifts with two mechanics under it some in an oil pit getting simple fixes done.


    Krazy stops the group" there''s your ride fool" nod at Richard''s SUV. The SUV looked brand new Richard exclaims in an excited tone" it looks brand new bro. I appreciate you, thank you" krazy gestures " no problem bro I was told it''s under the hood it really needs work on the transmission and engine got hit a couple times and some wires fried with tube''s coming undone, should be good in a couple days tho" krazy motions the group to continue. Demetrius curiously asks" where are we going" cal smiles while lighting a cigarette " now you know the event wasn''t the only thing here, there was other things here too"


    As the group goes through another door they walk into a club. Cal start speaking louder" since my brother manages things back here they connected the businesses together! This club has a fight club, gambling, strippers, you can go through this door get food from the pizza or restaurant, hell you can go shopping and grab a drink though here" krazy shows a tattoo on his knuckles it spells out LORD" I got this one back near the bar. Richard asks" there''s a tattoo shop?" Cal answers" and they cut hair, come on let''s let loose for a bit."


    They drink till 3 am party still going strong but on there way back. They stumble across the street semi drunk. Richard asks " hey we''re did everyone go" Seth walks out last" why was the garage left like everyone left in a hurry" Demetrius leads the group and stops when he feels the hairs on the back of his neck stand. He looks in the sky" what th-" Demetrius gets cut off as sonic booms can be heard shattering glass and strong winds throws the group in different directions. Richard got thrown on top of a roof of the bar they just left. Seth was thrown against the garage to there hotel. Demetrius was 6 stories high against the wall of there hotel while cal and krazy were thrown down the street. Even with the chaos they each got a look of a meteors with a purple aura about them getting hit by nuclear bombs as they impact different parts of the world. This one was landing a state away, even so the impact was felt world wide. The guys, animals and anyone else was force to be stuck to whatever surface they were on. Even the people who stayed in the shelters were stuck. Some holding eachother, others reaching for one another. As the guys look up at this world ending rock. There vision blurs as things go silent. Except with the only thing on Demetrius''s mind to go find his daughters and pray they are safe.
