this is soooo life sometimes. You really nailed it Ronnie.

@ Apocalypse maybe it wasn’t the first time it was broadcast, he only noticed it on the street, and we only know what the protagonist knows. ;)
And Ronnie, I’m left wondering how he felt after he shut the door. I mean he was feeling so happy and high, but how would the meteor change that, depression? I took the “never opened the door again” to mean he died there, not as an indicator of his emotions, but it could be argued that he shut the door on his happiness too.

Wow. That’s certainly not the best timing (in the plot I mean, not the writing). You managed to make it attention-grabbing, then uplifted, then slack-jawed with disappointment. Deft, sir, very deft.

Thanks for the comments. :D
I still had about a hundred characters left at the end, but for the life of me, I couldn’t think of how to add in his feelings. Though, it’s open for debate. It my sad mind, he shoots himself. In the mind of someone more optimistic he does…something else.

I like the line, “He never opened the door again.”

It definitely opens with a bang! Pahaha. I’m so punny. Ahem. Sorry.

Serious business: this is awesome. Really. It’s so painfully ironic how just when something goes right for him it’s all over. Nice work though, and I like how it’s mostly centered around him rather than the disaster on a larger scale.

dude this story was awesome
