A dramatic, cinematic illustration of a lone figure standing close to their car at a gas station during the daytime, fueling up while an intense apocalyptic scene unfolds around them. The person is near the vehicle, with the fuel nozzle clearly and realistically inserted into the car’s gas tank. The brake lights are on, casting a red glow that contrasts with the dark, smoke-filled sky. Fires rage in the distance, sending plumes of thick, heavy smoke into the air, forming a towering wall of chaos on the horizon.

Not just any war…

The Big war.

World War Three?

Even one year ago, I would have said it’s unthinkable.

Red flags left and right.

I know better than to ignore red flags.

It gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Goosebumps.

The hair on the back of my neck stand up.

Sends a shiver down my spine.
