"Baby, I think the world turned upside down."
"What?"
"Everything is upside down."
"What do you mean, everything is upside down?" she asked, sobbing.
"I... I..." he stammered, searching for words he could never have imagined saying. "Everything that's down is up," he said finally.
"Are we dreaming?"
"I don't know. I don't think so. I hope so."
"We must be crazy, baby."
They held each other, shaking and crying. The gasping sound outside had gone away and now there was a strange, new quiet everywhere. They laid down together, closed their eyes and willed themselves to sleep.
