It started as these things usually do with a mistake. As mistakes go, it wasn’t a huge mistake. If it had been a mistake in nearly anything else, humans would have had a completely different history. There was an error in the control program for a scientific experiment into gravity generation. If this experiment had been a low power run, it likely would have been caught with only minor damage to the containment chamber. However, the experiment was run at full power. The good news for humanity, we now have a promising method of generating gravity without large masses. The bad news for humanity, it is possible to generate vast gravity fields, fields large enough to duplicate the effects at the center of a neutron star. When the resulting high-energy Event eats the generating equipment and containment chamber, the gravity field disappeared. When the new gravity field disappeared, it left a reasonable facsimile of a miniature nova going off just outside of Atlanta, Georgia. There was a rather large boom. The northeastern suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia, ceased to exist on a Saturday morning in mid-June 2072. We are still feeling the ripples of that explosion.

My name is currently Jaxton McAndrews. This is the story of how I survived the Event.
