Sixty-four was today's number. They all knew this. They all knew the doors would open soon. The real question was what that meant. Would it be at 6:40? Would it be the sixty-fourth person? Would it be sixty-four people? Each of these possibilities had its own unique, terrible, and possibly terrifying set of consequences, and they weren't sure how to prepare themselves. No option seemed to be a good one. In the end, they knew all they could do was be ready to take of any opportunity that came to them, even if it seemed there would be no recovering from their unthinkable compromise. The doors opened.
