was evening in India when the world started to change.
In front of the Taj Mahal,
there were a group of youths meeting to celebrate. There was
laughter in the air and songs of praise. It was a night that was no
different from any other, and yet something bizarre began to happen
all around them. The youths were there to see the Taj Mahal during
the full moon. They had been planning this for weeks and were
filled with joy at seeing something so beautiful and
pure.
Right below the full moon at the Taj
Mahal , people started floating
up into the air. Shocked cries rose up along with them. No one knew
what to do about it, and people started to grasp on to objects to
hold themselves down. It worked for only a short period of time
because the objects themselves started to lift off the ground and
float. One young boy looked on with excitement as he watched the
beauty of the Taj Mahal itself floating up into the air along with
everyone else. It wasn’t long before he was up there floating with
everyone else.

In China , a magnetic
mountain was floating in the air. The mountain attracted all the
items in the area that contained materials that are attracted to
magnets. All around China, items such as cars, planes, and
appliances floated toward the magnetic mountain. It was a sight
indeed to see all these items floating off in a line toward the
mountain. The mountain itself was moving, so everything around it
was in constant motion. It was both a beautiful and terrifying
sight to behold. People were being crushed beneath floating items
as they made their way to the mountain. People continued to float
up into the air, and some didn’t make it up when an item on its way
to the mountain collided with them.

There was chaos in Yellowstone , as the volcano over there had erupted, lava spilling out
everywhere. The volcano itself was floating in the air, and the
lava continued to rise from the ground below. A lot of people who
had gone to visit Yellowstone were killed instantly as lava poured
down on them. Others were covered in lava while more began to be
lifted into the air. There were screams heard all over. Many had
gone to Yellowstone for a relaxing vacation with their families
only to have their vacation turn into a nightmare.
One of the most bizarre events that happened during the
gravity shift involved the
ocean water all over the world. The waves of the ocean just
suddenly ceased. The water was completely still for a moment before
the water was converted into tiny droplets. Each droplet was
suspended in the air and then slowly floated upward.
Chapter Six
Meanwhile at NASA ,
there was only chaos as the people in the building attempted to
deal with the no-gravity crisis.
When the world started taking a turn for the
worse , Carly found herself in
an elevator. She had been on her way up to her boss’s office to
discuss her weekly assignments when chaos broke loose. The elevator
was currently on its way down from the sixty-seventh floor to the
fourteenth floor. She had been walking around NASA that day in a
complete fog due to the visit she’d had with her ex Antonio. She
hadn’t been able to get him out of her mind, and she wondered when
he would show up at the house again. She didn’t want to have a
run-in with him when Rose was there, but she was not sure how to
avoid that. She had been going up to talk to her boss about the
possibility of taking some time off. She could take Rose away for a
few days until Antonio got the hint and hopefully stayed away as
well.
As the elevator rose ,
she started to hear some startling sounds. She stopped for a moment
and moved closer to the elevator door to hear more clearly. People
were screaming. Startled, she let that sink in. Why were people
screaming? What was happening outside the elevator door?
Carly could hear people shouting and scrambling about. She
couldn’t tell what was happening , but it had to be something big to cause such an uproar.
She wondered
