Ignorant Bliss Interrupted

By C E Pinyard

April 14 is just another for millions of people around the world until a mountainside on the Canary Islands collapses into the Atlantic Ocean, beginning a chain of devastating events including a mega tsunami that is headed for the east coast of the Americas. With only seven hours to impact, people are doing their best to reach loved ones and get to safety. Follow the lives of those in New York City and Long Island as the countdown begins. People are facing the unthinkable having to make decisions they never thought they would have to make. Their everyday world is about to change forever from a natural disaster years in the making. Follow the journeys of a husband and wife miles away from each other as their son is in school. A principal who must implement drastic measures to ensure the safe return of those students whose parents come to get their child and decide how to handle those children whose parents cannot. A single mother who must take mass transit, along with millions of other New Yorkers, trying to get to her young daughter and mother. A brokenhearted newscaster whose personal life makes him want to give up, but his professional responsibility pushes him forward to be the voice of reason for millions of people. A President who must make some very tough decisions while trying to keep the country calm. What do you do when you only have seven hours? What happens when our own state of bliss is interrupted by reality?
