I just looked it up, It’s called: “The Shelter”. I got a few things wrong with the description, though. It was a threat of a few inidentified objects flying toward them. They were afraid that would mean a nuclear attack. The doctor had offered to let them use his basement, but that wasn’t good enough for the group of neighbors.
They were told the alarm was off, because the objects were harmless, and there was not going to be an attack. The doctor, after coming out of shelter to confront his neighbors, tells them that he fears they’d done more to destroy themselves than the “nuclear” attack threat had done!
When ever I see the news of the Black Friday crowds trampling each other for a lousy tv or computer, I think of it.
Think about what would happen if it involved food, water or shelter.
I pray our society doesn't disintegrate to that level...ever. As someone said upthread, I'm not sure I would want to see it.
