The day started like any other, corn flakes drowned in Miller High Life beer, burned toast like Momma always made it, and coffee so strong it stood up and saluted you.

It was the kind of day you wished would end, and it did, at exactly 3:00 p.m. Central Standard Time, when the aliens attacked, ending all sentient life on planet Earth except for the current President of the United States.

It wasn’t as if he didn’t like Babs, even though her lips were thinner than he liked and, when she wanted your attention, she had this way of sticking her head out to one side and looking sideways at you, which was really kind of cute he thought, remembering also the first time they had kissed, her mouth possibly too dry from fright, so he caressed her hair in that way she liked, his finger almost as big as her head.

Pinnochio came into my office and sat down, his arms and legs akimbo, the strings drooping with loose abandonment around his body, but I just kept quiet, knowing how these events are and waiting only for him to speak, but he just sat there silent and unmoving and uncaring, so I looked up at the top of the box we both sat in and read the hastily scrawled words above my head, “To the bathroom – back as fast as you can shake a finger.”
