Everyone prayed, hoped, and wondered. What would happen next? When nothing did, a peaceful calm entered hearts and minds. Residents eventually came out of their houses. Neighbors spoke quietly clustered in small groups. After a time, humanity continued about its business and problems realized solutions.
During that same day a unique global event occurred: they all died. It was similar to Bubonic plague or Covid-19, however, only world leaders had been infected. Wars ceased, missile threats disappeared, and terrorism vanished. Reporting agencies were bereft of news so classical music filled the airwaves. Borders were left unguarded; people remained at home.
Everyone prayed, hoped, and wondered. What would happen next? When nothing did, a peaceful calm entered hearts and minds. Residents eventually came out of their houses.

Everyone who reads this will want to comment 'if only'....you have caught nicely the heart of the matter - most people don't want all this strife, political gobbledegook and bad news everywhere; they just want to get on with their lives in peace.

Unfortunately, I reckon human nature would catch up with the survivors.

I have to agree with Paul, but yes, it would be nice if we could just get along.

Thanks for the comments. The catch, of course, is the problem solving.
