Deep Dive
The Earth stops spinning. You have 0.1 seconds to survive.Added:
The ground beneath your feet jolts. Not a tremor, not an earthquake. [bell] The planet stops. The rotation of the earth ends in a single, silent fraction of a second. You are thrown forward at nearly a thousand miles per hour. Gravity loses its grip on everything not anchored to the bedrock. Buildings do not collapse, they disintegrate. The structures shear off their foundations, steel snapping like brittle glass as they continue their forward momentum into empty air.
Forests are flattened in an instant.
Trees ripped from the soil by the sheer force of the sudden arrest.
