    Jody Summers
    “Chuck skipped through the rest of the preamble to the actual examples
    Spaceguard had chronicled:
    “On March 23rd, 1989, an asteroid designated Asteroid 1989FC missed
    hitting the Earth by six hours. This little jewel packed the energy of
    roughly a thousand of the most powerful nuclear bombs, and the human
    race became aware of it shortly after its closest approach. Had this celestial
    baseball been only six hours later most of the population of the Earth
    would have been eliminated with zero warning.”
    “In October of 1990, an asteroid that would have been considered
    very small, struck the Pacific Ocean. This little fellow only packed the
    energy of a small atomic bomb, about the same as the one that flattened
    Hiroshima, and if it had arrived a few hours later or earlier it could have
    easily struck a city rather than making a relatively harmless splash into
    the center of the ocean. Remember, relatively here, is just a comparative
    term.”   ”

    “Stop it!’ The girl jumped out of her chair, ‘Stop torturing me! Stop pretending you didn’t know each other, you planned all this, and then you waited for a wet day and then he was going to come in and then there is this story, and then he’d send the photos off, stop it! Leave me alone!’ She rushed to the door and tore it open and vanished down the hotel stairs.”

    “Life was about making sense out of the insensible. A ball of fire out of a clear blue sky? Must’ve been a meteorite, maybe debris from an airplane. Random flashes of light and color at night? A transformer blew up, you must’ve been dreaming, you’re talking crazy, quiet down, take your meds.”
