Drabble: Just Us

"According to all records 4th January 2009 was the human race's last day," the aggressors helpfully announced over hijacked airwaves.

Jenny, Lorraine, Abby and Lacey were on their monthly, girls-only lunch break. Lester refused to wait before sealing the ARC. That was when Cutter took a pistol and shot him. Lyle gunned Nick down and ordered the shutters closed.

Ditzy and Finn died protecting Connor while he sought to jam the enemy weapons. Blade was AWOL somewhere, armed only with knives. Lyle didn't expect to see him again.

"Just us," he said to Kermit as they waited in the dark.
