Disaster?
Creation Saturday! The world is on the verge of ending! What is the impending disaster, and what's your superhero plan to save all of humanity?
         
         
         
         
         
         
         Nope. I cannot do it. I can't think of a doomsday scenario. Haven't all the frightening ideas already been represented in action movies? There have been earth quakes, floods, tornados, hurricanes, tsunamis, sink holes, terrorist attacks, bombings, radiation poisoning, a lethal bacteria, and more.
         Okay, I've been thinking...Hmm, what could possibly be disastrous today? What if all cell phones, and phones of any kind suddenly stopped broadcasting? How would everyone communicate without instant messenger, Facebook, texts, Twitter, or voice mails? Oh, lordy, what could they do besides wring their hands in despair, and wail?
         I suppose I could lead seminars in flag waving. At one time, it served as a means to send messages. It's never too late to start a semaphore sensation.
         Perhaps in some areas, especially rural ones, people could revert to smoke signals. Smoke does seem to attract attention.
         Carrier pigeons are trained to carry letters.
         Maybe there will be a resurgence in telegrams.
         People could just deliver their messages in person with a face-to-face meeting. Remember conversation one-on-one?
         And of course, we could write and mail good ol' fashioned letters composed with pen and paper.
         Yep, as I already said, I've got nothing...
