59 - SCARE TACTICS

It was the ultimate weapon.
An elite team of scientists calculated
the shock waves generated would sweep
right round the world destroying all
enemy industry, fortifications and
morale.
It required precision timing. Atomic
clocks were synchronized. At the precise
instant everyone in China jumped up and
down and shouted "Bang!"

SCARE TACTICS was first published in APHELION No. 4 in the spring of 1996 edition, and collected in WORLDS IN SMALL Canada 1991.
