“So, Brad, what’s the news feature today?”
“Dunno yet.”
“WHAT! We’re ON in three minutes!”
“They didn’t give me a script yet.”
“Well, we can fix that!” June scanned the studio, amazed that she saw absolutely–no one. Not a soul. No one on the cameras, sound, lights– not even the hair and make-up people fussing over her last minute touch-ups.
“One minute! I don’t understand—–“
And everything went dark.
Just Writing! 
the militia will be there soon

First I thought she might be having a bad dream but the ending makes me think otherwise…
Great job!

You left us hanging, Linda! What apocalyptic end is this? On the other hand, we could all do with a break from the media right now.

This is an intrigue… something out of the Marvel Snap? Aliens? or is it just a bad dream?

It’s actually an example of knowing you’re running out of words, and making the decision to leave everyone hanging 🙂
