The piece fell right on top of the ark. The flame melted all the hailstones nearby, and the ark jolted.
Then…
Nothing happened after that.
Everybody's mouth fell open because they didn't expect it to end so soon.
But it had ended.
They waited for another ten seconds; everything remained silent. Only then did they start talking again.
"Is it over?"
"I don't think it was all that scary!"
"Our ark is so durable!"
"Why did the arks of other countries break so easily?"
Jamie was perplexed.
Someone else said, "Their arks aren't nearly as good as ours. Moonian products always use the best materials. Although we rushed a little when we built the ark, it still has the best quality!"
Everybody agreed with him.
