What a great story Mann. A personal disaster leading to a worlwide one, I could see everything in my head like a movie. Seeing how this world worked something like this had to happen some day.
A well written and constructed story which interpreted disaster as it should be, inexorable. Wow.
All in good time... Thought you might love that line, haha.
Thank you for asking those questions, now I know it worked. *hug* You'll be the first who knows what happens next, as always.
Ahh but you featured the prompt that might give some hints...All the questions will be answered in the next two anthologies, I promise. Thank you for telling me how you feel, I have to admit I feel a tiny bit guilty.
LOL. Sorry? Yes for what happens next you'll have to wait for the next anthology, for what you're probably waiting for you'll have to wait for 'The Back-up Plan'. That were five 'for's' in one sentence... wow. Nevertheless, thank you for your comment, I might write a prompt or two around the guys, if that helps.
OMG you make me really nervous seeing Christmas Eve dinner coming up! I'm with the kids waiting wide eyed for the explosion I have to imagine now all by myself. Great job Kitt.

Maya held the phone in her hand, finger hovering over the last number, but then she threw it back on the desk. Closing her eyes, she pinched the bridge of her nose between her thumb and forefinger. How could she call a client while Paul made such infernal noises in the kitchen, banging around pots and pans and slamming drawers shut? She sighed. Ever since the man had come back yesterday, he'd been in such a foul mood it equaled the weather outside. Fed up and determined to find out
Okay reading what I wrote earlier, I can see I could be misunderstood. loI I didn't mean my mother-in-law, but my own mother, which is really sad but can't be helped. Nevertheless, you're absolutely right Kitt and I can see exactly that happen.
I love my sister and brother, their significant others, my niece and nephews, my dad and his other half, (now comes a but) but I have the feeling Kitt's mother in law must somehow be related to mine. So Kitt if you ever want to say something to her in the evil language, just ask, I know some very nice er... phrases.
Anyway, Christmas this year is at my house, next year I'll want to take a time-out.
There is still more than enough to choose from.

I think it's because you need to start somewhere and give yourself enough time to make it. Most people feel like they can start fresh with the new year, it's easier this way. You stop feeling bad for the things you didn't manage and just start again. Nobody says you can't start with your resolutions as soon as they come into your mind, just do it.
