Kiss

“We interrupt your regularly scheduled show to tell you about breaking news from the Korean Peninsula,” the newscaster said as Allora, Milly, Aunt May, and Bell sat watching intently. “We go now to our foreign correspondent, who is in Seoul, South Korea, to give us more information. Jerry?”

“Thank you, Sally.” The picture went to a blond man with a microphone who was standing on a road while tanks drove behind him. “Reports are coming in from North Korea stating that there has been a massive explosion at the imperial palace in Pyongyang. The South Korean prime minister has denied any involvement in the blatant attack at the heart of the city. They have mobilized the entire military in response to a buildup at the DMZ along the border to North Korea. Diplomats from many governments have urged both countries not to do anything rash until an investigation can be made into who has perpetrated this attack. We are not sure about the exact yield of the explosion, but reports are stating that it was large enough to take out the entire palace. We are not sure whether the supreme leader of North Korea was one of the casualties, but if he was, military leaders in North Korea may look to the south for revenge.”

“What is the mood there in the city?” Sally asked.

“Very tense,” Jerry replied. “I spoke with a store owner who has boarded up his windows and is taking refuge in a storm shelter in his basement. There are some very frightened people here right now. I think that everyone hopes there will be dialogue in the coming hours that will hopefully stop any sort of military campaign in retaliation for an attack that came out of nowhere. The American president has condemned the attack, and the Chinese are advocating for an investigation. Both militaries have been put on high-alert status.”

“Well, we hope you stay safe, and keep us updated,” Sally said, drawing a nod from the split screen of Jerry.

“And so it begins,” Aunt May said with a blank look.

“What do we do?” Allora asked.

“We prepare ourselves for war,” Milly said.
