12STORIES – FOUR-MINUTE WARNING

I’m really not sure about this one, but I promised some original writing every month, so here’s April’s submission. It’s a particularly timely one, given the first test of the UK national emergency warning system that took place last Sunday afternoon.

Like many people of my age, I’ve long had nightmares about the four-minute warning being sounded. What would you do in such a short, but critical, period of time? For a bit of ‘fun’, I role-played, and turned the results into a very short story: FOUR-MINUTE WARNING.

12STORIES by David Moody

By the way, as I explained at the outset, 12STORIES is really little more than a chance for me to self-indulge and explore some of the mountain of writing ideas that have been building up over the years. As I don’t yet know what I’m going to do with any of these stories, they’ll only remain online for a short while. So this is advance notice that when May’s story is posted, January’s (OVER AND OVER AND OVER) will disappear.
