This becomes the experience of a lifetime and people have to learn how to live without a motor
*Imagine no consumption of gas for 7 days. Gas companies will incur losses
beyond their comprehension. Same for trucking companies, buses, taxis…
*Imagine the vandalism that will take place, though one can move items only
by foot.
*Imagine 911 bombarded with hundreds if not thousands of calls to which
there is nothing one can do since they cannot go to the place the call came
from.
And now the tough one, most people cannot go to work meaning they cannot earn any revenue. How can they pay for all their necessities?
People are at a loss wondering what is happening to them. Many go back to
their car to see if it now will function, to no avail. This bug will last 7 days.
But no one knows it.
When the rest of the world learns of what happens to the area hit by the motor
Bug, they wish to offer their help. What they don't realize is that the bug is in
the air of that part of the world and no trucks nor helicopters can work here
regardless of what they try to do. One must resolve to have to live with it
and change their habit and way of life.
At least two industries are doing well, hotels and restaurants. People stranded
far from their home have no choice but go to the hotels, many wishing to be
in the lower floors as who wants to climb 24 or 36 of them. As for restaurants, they
have to walk to go get their food but soon that too may become scarce.
The computer industry that is still functioning is working day and night to
find a solution to this drama. For it is a drama.
People do die and need to be evacuated from their home. A human chain is
about to be born to come to the rescue of a population in dire straights.
After three days of this nightmare, realizing the impotence of the society
around them, the victims decide that it is time they help one another, and
land a hand. Since business has stopped in many aspects of daily life, people
found out that being of help to his neighbor is the best way to achieve some
peace of mind. The fact is so true, it is in misery, especially if it is common
to all that humanity finds its true value.
By day 4, it is believed that this situation is going to last and if so we need to
find a way to live without the MOTOR.
Parents will walk their kids to school. If work is not far they will walk to work
People will economize in all they do.
No more waste of all sorts, for we know we are a wasteful society. What was
taken for granted is now seen as something to cherish. Suddenly, we have
respect for the other and for what we have.
By day 5, one realizes he can live without his car. He won't be able to go on
vacation to Hawaii but he will make it in his own town. At least the phone is
still working and it is a way to still communicate.
Those in the know, had an idea how to stop a motor if they wished. An electric charge can be directed towards the motor to burn the circuit as well as we are dealing with a single object. The operation is done by a burst of intensity.
Now we had to think of a reverse operation.
By day 6, buggies, horses and oxen are filling the streets and one would have thought that we were living in cow boys days. Some knew that a motor can be wound up with a spring to do small operation. The fact is that imagination was running high since no one knew when this dilemma was to end.
I now have to think of finding a hero who will take us out of this. And what comes to mind is an 'Indian', an American Indian, this last survivor of an ancient civilization that we unfortunately decimated.
It is like if I wanted to give credit to the old culture who can take us out of the mess we are in today. We all know than Indians lived well before the invention of the motor and they did not suffer from that gap. How can we restore an old existence to save our life?
AT this time another idea occurred to me, to write about another subject, I will call-
LANDING GEAR JAM
To be found in another story under "sujets"
A third idea I the same vein, after cars and planes, now trains.
THE TRAIN THAT DOES NOT STOP
Imagine trains getting to a station but cannot stop, they just keep rolling while passengers wait to get out and others wait to get on.
