The radio crackled and buzzed, prompting them to gather around, eager for news of any kind. A voice cut through the static, echoing through the lonely basement:
The state of emergency is still in effect. Please remain in your homes. Anyone violating the curfew will be detained. Those resisting detention will be shot. The threat to our way of life is still at large and we need your cooperation.
The broadcast ceased, leaving the buzz that had preceded it. There was a palpable depression of energy in the room. It was the same as last night, and every night before.
