Concern For Women and Children
"I don't think the general public is going to be able to handle WDFA", said General Thomas Bloward of the National Security Agency. "We have every indication that there is going to be an eruption that will light up the sky and set the world on fire."
The NSA has been feverishly tracking WDFA since last week, when agents began intercepting transmissions between unknown parties. The exact nature of those conversations were not disclosed, but it is believed it was during these conversations that WDFA was conceived. In conjunction with the CIA, KGB, and Interpol, officials from around the world have been scrambling to learn as much as they can about this unidentified threat.
President Bush is said to have put top priority on uncovering those behind WDFA. "We want to give the people fair warning", said Bush. "If this thing becomes unchained, and we experience a loss of control, I'm the one who will most assuredly hear about it later."
Everybody Wants Some Explanation
"I'm frightened. I have been unable to sleep I've been crying so much", said Jamie, a University of Virginia student who declined to give her last name.
"I'm already packed and have one foot out the door", said Dan Galen, an ice cream vendor from Panama, Florida who is a member of the Air National Guard. "If push comes to shove, I'll jump at the chance to do what I can to defend my country and our way of life".
Memories Of The Past
This is not the first time that a story about some unknown object or being has been so hot. For teacher Romeo D. Leight, this episode has brought back frightening memories. "This is just like waiting for Halley's comet in 1984", he said. "We didn't know what was going to happen? Would it with it aliens from another planet? Would it knock out all power and communications? In hindsight, all of the panic seems silly, but at the time the fear was very real."
The Waiting Is The Hardest Part
As the world holds its collective breath, leaders from around the world struggle to make sense of it all. Who, what, when, and where is WDFA? And, most importantly - why? As one anonymous highly placed source said, "I can't tell you for sure what will happen when WDFA makes its presence known, but I can tell you that the world, and humankind, will never be the same again."
