A story with no terror, but of a strange and wonderful day. At the time this show was produced, World War 2 was raging. It was probably becoming hard to imagine a day when it would all be over. A young couple spend the day together, The last thing they want to hear is news from the war as they visit the observation platform of a sky scraper. From their vantage point, distant from the city below it’s easy to imagine a world without all the grit and grime of life. The newlyweds make observations as they see the sights.

Something strange seems to be brewing in the clouds as they talk about their future, and what it may hold. Time comes to descend back to street level, and reality. Suddenly they seem to be the only people in the world. Technology seems to be out of service. Unease sets in, and maybe a little worry. What does this mean? What is going on?

With all the horrors of war, might this be one answer of how God might intervene?
