    bangfollowed by a high-pitchedscreech. That was all I heard. I opened my eyes. Everything was white. Had I just died?


    Icould. Something felt‘­ different. My body thrummed with an unnatural vitality. I wriggled out of the MRI machine, and the sight that greeted me was staggering. Bodies. Bodies everywhere. At first glance, they appeared unconscious, but a closer look revealed the chilling truth: no pulse. I spotted my ex-supervisor among them. She hadn''t survived either. My eyes met hers‘ͺ our eyes made four. A wry smile tugged at my lips. Then I remembered the flicker of concern in her eyes, the way she‘―d looked at me in recent months as my health steadily declined‘ͺa decline entirely of my own making, though she didn‘―t know that. She had cared, a little. Did she deserve this?

    Shit.


    Well, damn. What would I do without my girlfriend, soon-to-be wife, huh? A faint news report played on the TV inside about increased solar flare activity, but I barely registered it.


    something else‘­ something sickeningly sweet stung my nostrils. But something was different. A strange tingling sensation ran through my body, a low hum beneath my skin. I pushed the thought aside; it wasn''t important now.


    What could have done this?


    Is Kara okay?! My legs were shaky, but my body buzzed with anxiety. The world was silent, eerily so, but my thoughts were loud. The usual sounds of the power plant, of the city beyond, were gone. The realization hadn''t fully hit me yet, but the world had changed. And something felt different about me too.


    Kara‘­ please be okay. Please.


    Damn it! I kicked the tire in frustration, then took a deep breath. I had to get to her. I found a spare in the trunk, quickly changed the tire, and finally ignited the engine.
