The Void Is Open

"I promise Susan, the void was better yesterday," I looked up at her, her hands on her hips, a stern expression on her face. 

     "Really? By how much?" She asked. She pulled a chair out from the table and sat down. She stared me down, my face burning with shame. 

     "Two yards," I said. 

     "Oh," She said. "So, six feet?" 

     "When you say that you make it sound like so much!" I said. 

     "IT IS!" She yelled at me. She leaned over the table, just inches from my face. "Just one more inch and me are done for!" 

     "Okay," I said. "That is a big deal." 

     "Yes, it is," She said. 

     "The void has opened an inch more," Stacy ran into the room to tell Susan.

     "WHAT?!?" Susan and I yelled in unison. 

     There was a flash of light and then there was an explosion.
