Islands in the Dark 

Nobody knows where the world went. It can't have just vanished. And yet, the evidence is there, incontrovertible. Walk to the edge of the city, and the road disappears. The fog just outside of town never lifts, and cars vanish from view just a few meters in. You can't even hear their engines any more, and nobody's driven into town in months.

We know some things still work out there. The self-driving trucks still show up, carrying groceries from the farms and products from the factories we know are still running. Nobody's starving, any more than they were before, and all the stores still have stuff on the shelves. The planes are all grounded, though; they vanish in the fog same as cars. Everything's slowed down a lot since the Fog rolled in.

@DialMforMara All the cables still work, and the satellites. Good luck if something breaks, but for now everything's working.

@literorrery As someone whose friends are almost all pocket friends, I gotta say knowing the Internet works makes horror stories a little less horrory. The internet *breaking*, though...then you're really alone.
