When the Moon Shifted, Everything Changed
The asteroid was supposed to be a celestial spectacle-nothing more than homework and something exciting to witness. Miranda and her family gathered outside their Pennsylvania home that night, joining neighbors to watch what scientists had assured was a harmless astronomical event. But something went terribly wrong. The moon visibly shifted position, appearing dramatically larger in the sky. Panic erupted as people screamed and prayed. Within hours, news trickled in of massive tsunamis devastating coastal cities worldwide. The Statue of Liberty washed out to sea. Cape Cod submerged. Miami devastated. Hawaii reportedly gone. "By the dawn's early light," Miranda thought grimly, wondering how many people who had sung those words yesterday were dead today. The asteroid, denser than scientists had calculated, had knocked the moon closer to Earth, forever altering life as they knew it. Miranda's mother sprang into action with remarkable foresight, handing her daughter $500 and revealing her plan-they were going to stock up on supplies before it was too late. The supermarket was mayhem with people fighting over items and throwing cash at terrified cashiers. In those first chaotic hours, Miranda witnessed her mother transform from an ordinary divorced mom into a fierce protector determined to keep her children alive through whatever was coming.
