nervous mumbling in the crowd
steps up to the microphone, timid voice: “so uhm…”
microphone feedback
“this is called the ‘new moon’ and
its gonna be here around once a month”
crowd whispers nervously
“so yeah, nothing we can really do about that”
voice shouts from the crowd: “is it dangerous?”
flicks through notes “not yet but we will keep monitoring it”
crowd slowly dissolves

over the next few days people cancel their doomsday parties, the party industry crashes

no one ever sees the new moon…
