are.”
    Rebecca stepped forward and shook her head. She looked unsure of where exactly to look in order to meet Molly’s eyes, with the web camera hidden inside the TV’s frame.
    “What do you mean?” she asked. “Where are you?”
    Molly didn’t say anything. She moved in a little closer to her own camera, and again, Jack was a little unnerved by something in the motion.
    “What are your names?”
    “I’m Rebecca, and this is my son Jack.”
    “It’s nice to meet you,” said Jack, with a laugh. “Molly, it is beyond nice to see you. We haven’t heard from anyone on the outside, or heard anything about what the situation is.”
    Molly smiled again, the same sad one she’d managed before.
    “Jack, Rebecca… I think the two of you should sit down for this.” She sighed, and then floated backward a little further. “I would too, but as you can see, there is no gravity way up here.”
    “Are you… on the space station?” asked Jack. “Like, NASA, or something?”
    Molly nodded, and then curled up into a tiny ball and executed a perfect, slow-motion back flip.
    “That’s correct,” she said. “I arrived up her a couple of days ago. The astronaut I was relieving left early on the morning of the asteroid impact. It’s quite a shame, actually.”
    Jack glanced over at his mom. She was chewing her lower lip, staring intensely at the screen and waiting for Molly to continue.
    “There’s no easy way for to say this…” Molly furrowed her brow, and then slid both of her hands down across her chin. She had an attractive face, long and slender, along with skinny arms and modest breasts.
    “Just tell us,” said Rebecca. “We can handle it.”
    Molly nodded and then took a deep breath.
    “The two of you are the only survivors I’ve made contact with, so far,” she said. “Now, that doesn’t mean that-“
    “Wait, you mean the only two survivors in New Hampshire, or the northeast?” Jack struggled with what she was saying, his mind unwilling to make the connection.
    “No,” she said softly. “That’s not what I mean. Here, this might be easier for you to understand.”
    Molly floated in closer to her webcam. Her hands disappeared for a moment and tapped away at what must have been a keyboard offscreen. Suddenly, the image switched, and Jack and his mom were looking out from the perspective of a new camera, directly at the planet Earth from the space station’s orbit.
    Oh my god…

CHAPTER 6
     
    The planet was almost unrecognizable. The space station, along with Molly and the camera’s perspective, was passing across the eastern seaboard and over the Atlantic Ocean. Thick clouds of gray smoke and smog covered everything, an apocalyptic caricature of the Earth’s normally white atmospheric swirl.
    The North American continent was completely mangled. Jack could see where the asteroid had struck at a glance, deep in the heart of northern Canada. The crater that had been left was the size of Wyoming, with an oozing orange glowing center that made it look like an inverted volcano. Long cracks extended from the impact point throughout the country, looking almost like exposed geological veins.
    In fact, there were cracks everywhere. Several cut through the United States, as though the strength of the asteroid’s blow had been enough to jostle the tectonic plates loose. To the north, where the frozen Arctic ice had once been, there was now nothing but water, and scattered islands. Jack suddenly realized that dozens of miles of the coast had been swallowed up, with all of the water that had once been locked away in ice now free to join the ocean.
    Wherever there had once been green grass, forests, and vegetation, was now replaced by black and gray wasteland. The Earth looked like a battlefield, as though extraterrestrial invaders had given it a shelling, followed by napalm. There was nothing left that looked unscathed, with even the outlying Caribbean islands smoldering in ashes.
    “This can’t
