The Amerikan Prizon And the Super Volcano
July 4th 2007 03:33
…will it really come to this?
I woke up this morning and as I tuned in the local radio station, I heard the newscaster announce that all borders north and south and the west and east coast are now closed to all movement in or out. This development was due to the threat of terrorism that is immanent. All law enforcement agencies were ordered to arrest and detain all persons out after 10pm. The borders were ringed with a continuous 20 foot high 10 foot thick brick wall with electrified razor wire all along the top. 10 yards to the inside of this wall is a line of razor wire that is also electrified with 10,000 volts of power. Cameras equipped with infrared sensors continuously monitor the area in between the barriers.
America as we knew it was all but gone. How did this happen? It all started on Sept. 11th when the twin towers was destroyed by two jet airliners piloted by Islamic terrorists. There were dozens of false alarms since then but the latest threat came to reality when a small nuclear device was detonated after being lowered into a mile deep shaft in the middle of the San Andreas fault in California triggering an 8.9 magnitude earthquake destroying downtown Los Angeles. It also triggered a volcanic eruption just south of San Francisco. Of course martial law was instantly instituted nationwide. All unnecessary travel was outlawed and all guns were confiscated using the records on hand at the various sheriff’s offices in every county in every state. Any one who was caught with an unregistered gun was immediately arrested without hesitation and remanded to jail with no judicial proceeding. All citizens are required to have their papers in order to travel outside their communities. Permission would have to be obtained when going to and from work and direct deposit is required as well. All public gatherings are now suspended and a group of more than 2 people is illegal under all circumstances with severe penalties and heavy fines would have to be paid on the spot. Cameras are mounted on every street corner and all streets in every town are under surveillance. And it just gets worse and worse. All financial transactions are recorded including the purchaser’s name and address as well as the nature of the purchase made. The newscaster is now announcing that in the next few weeks an identification card will be mandatory to make any purchase of any kind public or private. After he made this announcement, there is screams from the street outside the house that I am currently in and at the same time, the newscaster says Millions and Millions of people suddenly disappeared.
I run out into the street and utter chaos meets my eye. Dozens of cars have crashed and the funny thing about it is they are driverless!! Everywhere there are missing people. Stores are being looted and no one is even attempting to stop the madness. After a night of fitful sleep, I turn on the tv and the president is trying to restore some kind of sensibility to the public at large. Also he is saying that reports are coming in from around the world that the same situation is true all over as well.
Meanwhile, out in the western states there in Yellowstone Park, there are several hundred campers sleeping quietly. Unknown to them, about 35 miles below, a small crack begins to develop in the area around the transition zone between the mantle and the underside of the crust of the earth. Hot magma begins to push it’s way upward through the small fissure and as it exerts pressure the crack begins to enlarge and lengthen in the upward direction. It seems that in the distant past the area where the campground is located, was a super volcano and once very active. Recently, however there have been small tremors shaking the area on a regular basis. The speed of the cracking increased and it was now cracking at the rate of ½ mile per second. Fortunately for the campers, the crack was taking a horizontal direction for now anyway. All went well for them throughout the night. In the morning, it was unbearably hot. At first, it was assumed that the heat was from the sun, but, then it was realized that the heat was coming not from above but from the ground itself. Some of the campers decided to leave but for the most part, most went about their business as usual which would prove very foolish on down the road.
It seems like new laws and regulations are being adopted everyday now since all those people disappeared. Penalties are being levied against all who do not display their ID when a transaction is done. Now, that law was amended and you are now subject to being stopped at anytime by police and they can now demand to see your identification card. For anyone who does not show theirs, they are considered to be an enemy of the state and arrested and held without bail (bail was abolished). There is talk of a new world leader being prepped for later installation into office. Also, the military is assisting in law enforcement as well since the police have their hands full just keeping the peace.
The campers were arising from their sleep and the kids were already swimming in the lake when they complained that the water was too warm for them. Temperatures were rising all morning and the temperature was now 90 degrees F, up from a normal 68 F There was a slight rumbling from the ground and the quake soon intensified to a 3 on the scale. Suddenly without warning, a piece of the cliff off to the west of the camp fell into the lake and a tsunami was generated. Since the lake was not too deep, it wasn’t too big but it washed away the beach and overturned the diving platform along with a few boys and they disappeared underwater forever. The bottom of the lake just dropped out and it was now thousands of feet deep and the temperature was now 140 F. Large bubbles began to emerge from the water and more campers began to evacuate the area. But, some still hung on like fools, thinking this was just a strange happening. The sheriff soon came to investigate the drownings of the 2 boys and as he was out on the lake checking out the scene, the temperature shot up to over 200 F and the water was beginning to boil furiously. The sheriff attempted to row to shore but the boiling water turned over his boat and he was immediately boiled to death.
Down at the local supermarket, a young lady with a fussing baby was at the checkout counter with some baby food and diapers. When she went through the scanner, an alarm bell began to sound. Red lights began to flash and security guards rushed her. She pleaded with them to let her go since her baby was hungry and needed immediate attention. The guards had no pity and demanded to see some id but she had none and was arrested by the police on the spot. The baby was wrenched out of her arms as she screamed, but it did no good. A van pulled up and she was ushered toward it. The inscription on the side of the van which said: STATES OF THE NEW FEDERATED ORDER (STNFO) STeNFO. Inside the van the sides were equipped with pairs of manacles which were welded to the metal surface. This was like those 12 passenger club vans with all the seats removed except the driver and front passenger seat for the police. There was 5 manacles on each side which allowed 10 persons to be transported to the nearest detention center just outside every community in the nation. No one was permitted to have a car unless a member of the council of the local order which required an id. The council was responsible for receiving reports of individuals who had no id and passing them on to the police for investigation and follow up.
The water in the lake was fast boiling away and the ground was making creaking sounds as a crack was circling around the area. By afternoon, a continuous quake was shaking the area around the campground and most of the remaining campers were long gone. A few thrill seeking fanatics were there to watch the show. Suddenly and without warning, the crack having outlined a circular path around the campground completed it’s trip around and the whole area just dropped into an abyss. The thrill seekers could not escape and went down screaming into the pit. As the circular chunk of earth dropped downward, a red glow became apparent below and the chunk plunged into a raging lake of burning magma. Soon the magma began to rise at an ever increasing rate. A six mile wide fountain of lava began to spew out of the pit with deadly noxious smoke rising over 25 miles into the sky blacking out the sun.
Back at the White House, the president hearing of the super volcano called upon the national guard to restore and maintain order. Martial law was declared and all persons were ordered to remain in their homes until further notice. Absolutely no persons were permitted out on the streets at any time. All shopping was to be done online and special delivery trucks would be sent to deliver the goods. This was a 24 hour lockdown of all neighborhoods of every city in the nation.
The eruption was worsening and a large crack was spreading both north and south from the main crater which was now over 30 miles wide and the lava flow was now reaching the flatlands of Kansas and showed no sign of slowing down. It appeared that western half of the USA was about to sink into the bowels of the earth!!!
The authorities were now going door to door and checking for individual id cards. This was a national emergency and no chances were to be taken. All unidentified persons were to be taken into custody and if they refused to cooperate would be jailed and later subjected to torture and eventual execution by guillotine.
The lava flow was now 3,000 ft thick and over 100 miles wide. The outflow was still very rapid and reached speeds of 150 mph. The type of lava was a thin liquid and flowed freely. It was also very hot and vaporized all it came in touch with. It was bearing down on Kansas City. Far to the west of the city, a dull red glow was seen and the prairie wild fires started by the flow would spread eastward fanned by the high wind created by the heat from the lava. The city must be evacuated within the next few hours or all in the city will be roasted to death. The party goers would never believe that any danger exists due to the distance of the main eruption being so great. The lava was now deeper being twice that previously mentioned.
Far out in the plains, a family reunion was taking place and the people were gathered outside in the back yard. As it was dark, off in the distance, a red glow appeared. The people first thought it was another great sunset and turned their attention to the business at hand. Then, one of the kids came running into the back and he looked pale white and so scared that he almost passed out as he exclaimed. The glow they saw was not the sun setting but a burning mass of molten rock heading right for them. It soon filled the western horizon as far as the eye could see. In spite of it still being 50 miles away, the heat could be felt and it appeared to be slowly advancing. Actually, it was still flowing at over 100 mph.
Back in DC, the sky was very dark and smelled of sulfur and some were suffocating from the terrible smell of the fumes.
The crack was now reaching the Mexican border and the entire mass of land west of the crack all the way to California began to move away as the chasm widened and even more molten lava oozed out of it. All the buildings in Los Angeles began to sway and people were running in terror through the streets. Soon a cracking and groaning sound came from the middle of the city and a building began to lean,slightly at first then with a roar it crashed to the street striking other buildings and crushing all within them. In those buildings that were left standing, elevator cables snapped and the cars plummeted to the basement level killing all aboard.
DC was in mass confusion….. Now how would you end this story? Will the United States survive? Will California sink into the Pacific? And, what ever became of all those people who mysteriously disappeared? It’s up to you. Feel free to post your endings here.
