the cab driver asked him, “So, where are you from?”
    “I’m from Dallas, Texas, looking to get a job with the new world government,”
    “Dallas? You must be devastated by the news coming from your home country,”
    “What news?”
    “You mean, you haven’t heard?”
    “Heard what? I’ve been asleep in my hotel room since I arrived eight hours ago from the United States.” Wayne was getting annoyed, he really didn’t want to have a conversation with his cab driver.
    “I’m sorry to say that the volcano under Yellowstone Park blew up, along with many other volcanoes in North America, and has pretty much wiped that continent out, along with many earthquakes,”
    Wayne was stunned by the news, not that he cared all that much about what happened to his formerly fellow Americans, but it saddened him to hear he may no longer have a home. Realizing he should say something, he replied, “Yeah, I’m sorry too.”
    The rest of the ride was spent in silence. At the headquarters, Wayne paid the driver and went inside, not knowing what his future held as he made his way to Patriarch Karimi’s office.

Chapter 4
    At Yellowstone, a few hours earlier, Shelley Abbott and her sixteen-year-old daughter, Katy, were touring the park with Katy’s fellow high school cheerleaders from her high school in Aledo, Texas. The cheerleaders had won a tournament featuring other high school cheerleaders in Texas, so the prize had been a trip to Yellowstone, which was still up and running despite the United States having fallen apart. Volunteers were running the park, including former park rangers, even though they were no longer being paid. Shelley was picked as one of the chaperones, so she and her daughter toured the park, and enjoyed themselves since neither had ever been to Yellowstone.
    The day was clear of clouds and the temperature was in the 70’s, according to the weather forecast. Unknown to the tourists, the temperature in the closed-off parts of the park were in the hundreds, with closed-off roads melting from the heat coming from beneath the surface. Geologists tried to deny for years that the volcano underneath Yellowstone was something to worry about, that the volcano probably wouldn’t blow for thousands of years. Some of the bison, deer, moose, and other animals in the park were dead because of the heat or the sulfur in the water. Others had left the park months earlier looking for cooler spots, fresh water, and vegetation that was edible.
    Meanwhile, the cheerleaders’ first stop for the second day of their trip was Old Faithful. The girls and their chaperones sat down on the benches to wait for the geyser’s almost regularly scheduled spray of water. Some of the girls took out their cell phones so they could take selfies with the geyser shooting off in the background. The moment finally came, so Katy got up, like the rest of her friends, and began taking a picture. She snapped the picture just as lava began shooting out of the geyser. Without really noticing the panic around her, Katy sent off the picture to her dad, who was back in Texas hunting for wild boar, and probably had his cell turned off while he was hunting, so she figured he’d see it later.
    “Katy! Come on, we need to get out of here!” shouted Shelley, running over to her daughter, and grabbing her by the arm to get her to move.
    That was when Katy noticed the chaos around her as people ran for their lives. She looked back to see the Old Faithful geyser was flowing with lava, her eyes widened with surprise and fright, and she asked Shelley, while being pulled away, “What’s happening? Why is Old Faithful doing that?”
    “I.... I don’t know, Sweetie, but.... but we gotta get away from here. There!” Shelley pointed at the tour bus their group was using, “Go for the bus, like the rest of your friends. Come on!”
    They ran towards the bus, while the crowd of tourists did their best to run away from the lava and the rocks being shot into the
