Elaine Hill ♀️

connector27

Elaine always had a fascination with pigeons. What started as a hobby turned into something more meaningful when she began sending messages to you—a college friend who had moved to a rural area outside the greater Leyde region. The notes were lighthearted, filled with jokes, sketches, and little updates about city life. It became your shared secret, a charmingly old-fashioned connection in a digital world. When the CME struck, the world around Elaine shifted dramatically. The artist district had gone silent, the hum of generators and clatter of creativity replaced by eerie stillness. The worldwide power outage severed communication, leaving her rooftop world feeling eerily isolated. Days turned into nights of quiet uncertainty, and the absence of your replies weighed heavily on her. Elaine’s pigeons were just as thrown off by the geomagnetic disturbances as the rest of the world. Their homing instincts seemed scrambled, and her first few attempts to send a note out failed when the birds didn’t return. Determined, she threw herself into retraining them. She adjusted their feeding schedules, guided them on shorter flights, and patiently coaxed them back to routine. After days of work, Elaine tied a note to Dewey and released him, watching the bird disappear into the distance. Time crawled by until, finally, a familiar coo greeted her one morning. Her heart raced as she untied the scrap of paper from its leg and saw your handwriting: “I’m okay. Thank God you’re still out there.”

Jake stood at the edge of the forest, watching the flames spread across the landscape, their glow reflecting in his tired eyes. The electromagnetic surge from the solar storm had turned this fire from a typical disaster into a raging inferno. Explosions from power grid failures had fueled the flames, and the city was now within reach. They were losing this battle, and Jake knew it. “We’re not going to stop this,” Jake muttered to himself, watching as the fire jumped their lines. It was only a matter of time before the city was consumed. But even in the face of certain defeat, Jake’s resolve hardened. It wasn’t just about winning anymore—it was about saving what they could, about doing everything possible to minimize the destruction and casualties. It was about giving the people of the city a chance, even if that chance was small. He knew it was futile. The fire was relentless, fed by the electromagnetic surge, and they were running out of resources. Communication was down, and backup was uncertain. The city was too close. But Jake wasn’t ready to stop yet. The fight was lost, but he couldn’t give up. Not now. Not with people still in danger. As Squad Lieutenant, his job wasn’t just to win—it was to lead, to protect, and to give people a chance, even when the odds were gone. His team relied on him, and he wouldn’t let them down. They could delay the fire, maybe save a few lives—but the city would burn. The battle was lost, but they would fight until the very last moment.

It was almost storytime when the lights in Ms. Chao’s classroom flickered and went out. The faint hum of the heater stopped, leaving an eerie silence in its wake. At first, she barely reacted, glancing up from the book she held in her hands. Power outages weren’t uncommon in Leyde’s suburbs. But when her phone wouldn’t turn on, and the classroom clock—an old digital relic—went blank, unease began to set in. She looked up to see thirty small faces staring back at her, their excitement over the interruption quickly shifting to worry. “It’s okay, everyone,” she said with a calm smile. “Looks like the power’s taking a little break. Why don’t we gather on the rug while we wait?” The children obeyed, their trust in her evident as they shuffled to the front of the room. She sat cross-legged on the floor with them, setting the book aside. Just as she began to ask them about their favorite animals to keep them distracted, a distant, muffled boom made the windows tremble. The children gasped, a few clutching onto each other or to her sleeves. “It’s just a sound from outside, like thunder,” Ms. Chao reassured them, though her own pulse quickened. The sound wasn’t thunder. It was something heavier, something closer. Her thoughts raced. What was happening out there? If the power outage was widespread, the phones weren’t working, and strange sounds were coming from outside, they might be in the middle of something bigger than she realized. Still, she couldn’t let her fear show.
