Seek Immediate Shelter
One morning, the residents of Beckitt, Massachusetts all receive the same alert: BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
With one text, inhabitants are reduced to their basest and truest selves. Who flees, and who stays? Who thinks of themselves first?
Then, a second message comes in: FALSE ALARM. PLEASE DISREGARD. ALL CLEAR.
After the initial relief follows the reckoning, as each person is forced to face the aftermath of decisions they thought might be their last. What choices would you make if you thought your life were on the line? Full review coming soon.
