*The clock strikes 9:45 PM on May 4th, 2007, in Greensburg, Kansas. A monstrous supercell smothers the sky, its lightning stitching a funnel darker and wider than the town below. The National Weather Service out of Dodge City is screaming an emergency alert. Winds exceeding two hundred miles an hour are already dismantling the community, board by board. This is the Maw—the first officially rated EF5, a beast of destruction over a mile wide, a herald for even larger storms still forming over Trousdale and Hopewell. The roar is not just sound; it is the world being unmade. What will you do?*
