00:00:19.200 The Days of Ash, Episode 5, Gridfall.
00:00:30.000 They say the lights went out just after 4 a.m. Eastern, but the darkness began long before that.
00:00:38.140 I mean, you can learn to live without a lot of things. Coffee, gasoline, Wi-Fi.
00:00:43.240 But light? I don't know, light is different.
00:00:47.360 Light tells you where you are. It tells you what's real, what's safe, what's not.
00:00:51.720 And when the lights go out, the real kind, not just the lamps, but the hum, the glow, the background certainty that something somewhere is still working, something else goes with it.
00:01:04.920 Hope.
00:01:07.360 It didn't happen all at once. It never does.
00:01:10.660 It started in Texas. They said it was a transformer fire.
00:01:14.360 Then Florida. Routine maintenance.
00:01:16.420 Then Ohio, Michigan, and the eastern seaboard.
00:01:19.520 And within six hours, over 160 million people were offline.
00:01:23.660 No internet, no gas pumps, no cell towers, the ATM machines, no explanations.
00:01:28.860 Just silence and dark.
00:01:33.880 The official story when it finally came was that a solar storm had overloaded vulnerable lines.
00:01:40.340 But anybody who was paying any attention knew better.
00:01:43.160 Because solar flares don't skip states.
00:01:45.960 They don't avoid high-ranking neighborhoods.
00:01:48.360 They don't knock out a rural substation while leaving military bases untouched.
00:01:53.760 It wasn't natural.
00:01:56.320 This was surgical.
00:01:59.320 I was awake when it happened.
00:02:02.320 I just knew something was off.
00:02:05.120 It was like a change in air pressure that you can't quite place.
00:02:09.300 I opened the front door and I just listened.
00:02:14.300 It was weird. No birds.
00:02:16.640 No insects, no breeze, just stillness.
00:02:23.500 Then, in the distance, I saw it.
00:02:27.100 The entire eastern sky dimmed like someone had drawn a curtain across it.
00:02:34.020 Within five minutes, the last light in my town just flickered out.
00:02:38.900 And the next 12 hours were...
00:02:42.900 Biblical.
00:02:44.360 Cars stalled on the highway. Hospitals lost backup generators.
00:02:48.120 Nursing homes began evacuations they couldn't finish.
00:02:51.120 And in the cities?
00:02:52.920 It started. The fires, the looting, the gunfire.
00:02:55.800 Not random, not chaotic. Targeted.
00:02:59.660 A video made it out of Philadelphia.
00:03:01.360 It showed six men with masks and radios moving in unisonly.
00:03:05.840 They went block by block, taking out substations, cutting phone lines, setting controlled burns.
00:03:11.300 they weren't protesters they weren't looters they were professionals
00:03:19.020 and they weren't alone because other videos followed
00:03:23.740 explosions under bridges in St. Louis a train derailment in Ohio no passengers
00:03:28.860 just fuel a water treatment plant offline in Jacksonville and then the
00:03:34.100 digital blackout. No texts. No news. No ham radio. Just static.
00:03:45.080 Whatever it was, it wasn't just an attack. It was a shutdown.
00:03:52.280 It's the family and friends event at Shoppers Drug Mart. Get 20% off almost all regular priced

00:04:04.500 your coupon. Here's a question that I want you to ask yourself. If someone in your family got
00:04:12.500 sick tomorrow or there was a medication shortage or a natural disaster and it kept you from getting
00:04:17.160 a doctor for a few days, what do you actually have that you need? These are real possibilities
00:04:23.320 now. That's just one of the reasons
00:04:25.260 I like Jace. They don't
00:04:27.300 just tell you to be prepared. They give you a practical
00:04:29.320 way to do it. Their Jace case puts emergency
00:04:31.620 antibiotics and common
00:04:33.220 medications in your home before you ever need them.
00:04:36.040 They have a kid case
00:04:37.320 with pediatric medications specifically
00:04:39.360 for children. Their first aid packs are
00:04:41.260 built for emergencies you hope will never ever
00:04:43.280 happen. If you're not sure how to
00:04:45.220 use the gear, Jace Plus gives you access
00:04:47.400 to Pocket Paramedic. It's a
00:04:49.120 helpline. They walk you through all those critical
00:04:51.260 first minutes before emergency services

00:05:13.480 morning. Everybody had seen it. None of us spoke right away because we all knew what we were
00:05:19.120 thinking this isn't collapse now this is conquest somewhere out there something had decided that now
00:05:28.200 now was the time it was the right time that we were weak enough divided enough afraid enough
00:05:33.880 and the grid had to be just the first domino by day two the streets were empty not because people
00:05:43.040 were hiding, but because they were moving, families were packing up into pickups, convoys
00:05:48.900 heading south, groups headed for rumored stable zones. Where are you going to get the gas?
00:05:54.920 I asked one man where he was going. He just said, West. I hear the Chinese still have power out
00:06:00.520 there. Yeah, I'd heard that too. The West had power, yes, but at what price? Entire blocks of
00:06:10.600 California now operated on rationed electricity under joint administrative oversight.
00:06:16.580 That meant one hour of light per night in exchange for total surveillance,
00:06:21.740 food registration, and biometric access protocols.
00:06:26.260 Yeah, the light stayed on.
00:06:28.720 But so did the cameras.
00:06:35.480 Back East, darkness became kind of a religion.
00:06:39.480 People change when the sun goes down.
00:06:42.140 Windows boarded, gates locked, whispers carried further.
00:06:47.360 I watch my neighbor sit on his porch, rifle in his lap, staring at the stars like maybe the star is going to give him an answer.
00:06:54.960 There was one night, day six, I think, when I swear I saw figures moving down the road with no flashlights, just shapes, silent, disciplined.
00:07:05.160 they didn't approach, they didn't look around
00:07:08.780 they just passed
00:07:10.240 like they knew exactly where they were going
00:07:13.260 and that's when I started seeing the markers
00:07:17.480 there were spray painted symbols near mailboxes
00:07:21.980 and road signs and power poles
00:07:24.340 some of them in Arabic, some in Latin
00:07:28.000 some symbols I didn't even recognize at all
00:07:30.980 I didn't know what they meant
00:07:32.280 there were designations codes zones of control not claimed by governments but by operators
00:07:41.520 one day i found one on the back of my barn there were three concentric circles with a cross through
00:07:48.720 the center i scrubbed it off i didn't know what it meant i put a camera above the door i didn't
00:07:56.200 sleep for two days. The old farmer, two properties down. He wasn't so lucky. He refused to leave.
00:08:04.020 He said he had god guns and grain. By day nine, we found him tied to a tree.
00:08:11.260 The barn had been looted. The words, resource compliant now, spray painted on the siding.
00:08:18.040 like i said the worst part wasn't the violence it was the quiet no planes no tv no sports no
00:08:29.580 distraction just you yourself your thoughts and the growing knowledge that no one's coming
00:08:38.800 people broke some slowly some fast a man in our town walked into a pond with rocks in his pockets
00:08:49.160 another woman lit her own house on fire and then locked herself inside
00:08:53.320 there was no reasoning just a look in their eyes like
00:08:58.120 whatever had tethered them to the world had finally just snapped
00:09:01.960 and then some found real clarity the mennonite community just outside of town i think they did
00:09:18.640 better than anybody else because they never really depended on the grid to begin with
00:09:22.960 they still had water they still baked bread they still sang they still believed
00:09:30.200 I asked their elder how they were handling the chaos.
00:09:34.500 He said, it's not chaos.
00:09:37.620 It's the end of a spell.
00:09:42.020 Wow.
00:09:43.580 The end of a spell.
00:09:44.780 That line haunted me.
00:09:47.060 The end of a spell.
00:09:50.560 Maybe that's what modernity was.
00:09:53.880 Maybe it wasn't progress, not enlightenment.
00:09:56.680 Just a very elaborate illusion.
00:10:00.200 And now that the lights were out, we were finally seeing things for what they really were.
00:10:07.320 There was one place still broadcasting. It was a pirate tower out of Tennessee, low-frequency, battery-powered.
00:10:13.400 A voice came on every night around midnight, same man as before, steady, calm, grave.
00:10:19.200 The grid was our leash, he said.
00:10:22.300 Now that it's gone, you'll see who was trained and who was waiting.
00:10:27.040 He talked about old systems
00:10:30.340 Untraceable courier networks
00:10:32.840 Analog communication relays
00:10:34.600 Communications without debt or dependence
00:10:36.920 He said
00:10:38.020 The ones who will survive are the ones who don't need
00:10:41.000 The map to find their way home
00:10:42.800 He also talked about power
00:10:45.900 Not just electricity but influence
00:10:48.240 He said AI was still active
00:10:50.700 Still rerouting resources
00:10:52.500 Still prioritizing users
00:10:55.680 But it's no longer answering to Washington, he said.
00:10:59.680 And maybe it never was.
00:11:02.860 That night I sat by the dwindling candlelight.
00:11:07.120 I tried to remember a world where you didn't need light to feel safe.
00:11:11.520 I couldn't.
00:11:13.980 By day 11, the sky turned orange.
00:11:17.400 There was fires in all directions.
00:11:20.120 No response, no warnings, just smoke.
00:11:24.700 And somewhere beyond it, movement.
00:11:29.880 A friend from North Carolina called me on a landline rigged through a satellite dish.
00:11:34.600 He said the Blue Helmets had set up a relief checkpoint on I-85.
00:11:41.200 But anybody who entered wasn't seen again.
00:11:45.720 No proof, no photos, just whispers and a new phrase on the road.
00:11:51.360 No help is coming.
00:11:54.700 My wife stopped praying out loud.
00:11:57.820 A lot of times she just sat, Bible in hand, eyes closed, mouthing words I couldn't hear.
00:12:04.160 I think she was talking to someone, but I don't know if it was God at this point.
00:12:11.700 Might have been God, it might have been someone else.
00:12:15.460 That same night I saw a flare go up over the woods.
00:12:19.500 Red, then green, then gone.
00:12:24.700 I knew what it meant.
00:12:31.560 Three days later, the house next to mine was empty.
00:12:34.500 No sign of struggle, no note.
00:12:36.580 Just gone.
00:12:39.440 We still had our little group, four families, tight.
00:12:42.580 We cooked by fire, we took shifts, we traded what we could.
00:12:46.060 One man tried to bring a radio into camp.
00:12:48.180 It played one sound, a heartbeat.
00:12:52.080 Slow, steady, never-ending.
00:12:55.540 He threw it in the creek the next day.
00:12:58.040 He said it wasn't a signal, it was a warning.
00:13:01.480 I went into town on day 13.
00:13:04.440 Nobody spoke.
00:13:05.420 The few shops still open had no prices, just exchanges.
00:13:09.180 One man wanted silver, another wanted ammo.
00:13:12.440 One woman said she was trading stories, true ones only, in exchange for honey. 0.97
00:13:17.700 I told her the truth.
00:13:19.480 That the lights were never going to come back.
00:13:21.860 That the grid wasn't broken.
00:13:23.680 it had been handed over. She gave me a small jar, told me to bury it in the east corner
00:13:31.540 of my garden, said if I ever needed to start over, it'd help me find the beginning again.
00:13:38.920 I didn't ask what she meant, because I wasn't sure I wanted to know.
00:13:45.960 That night I listened to the fire crackle, held my daughter while she slept, and I whispered
00:13:52.040 prayer that I hadn't spoken since I was a boy. Not because I believed, but because in the dark,
00:13:59.480 I just needed somebody to hear me.
00:14:03.720 The Grid didn't just power a country, it powered a delusion that we were in control,
00:14:08.360 that we were safe, that someone was watching over us. But the lights were gone now,
00:14:13.560 and the watchers? They weren't ours anymore.

00:14:52.040 The Days of Ash
00:14:55.580 Episode 6
00:14:57.860 Sanctuary
00:14:59.140 After the fires, after the grid fell,
00:15:05.660 after the last bit of news
00:15:07.120 dissolved into rumor and code,
00:15:09.800 something strange happened.
00:15:11.980 We started to plant again.
00:15:14.720 Not because we believed the world would return,
00:15:17.240 but because, deep down,
00:15:19.280 I think maybe we knew it wouldn't.
00:15:21.240 We weren't rebuilding. We were replacing.
00:15:25.300 It all began with a well, an old hand pump behind the church.
00:15:28.840 It was rusted, but it wasn't ruined.
00:15:30.660 We cleaned it out, we patched the seal, and by the second day, cold water came up like a secret.
00:15:36.660 The next morning, a woman we didn't know showed up with five kids and a Bible.
00:15:41.260 She asked,
00:15:42.420 Do you have any room?
00:15:44.860 We didn't, but we made it anyway.
00:15:48.480 We called it Sanctuary.
00:15:50.020 and didn't have a sign, didn't have any rules, no map,
00:15:53.560 just a feeling that beyond these woods, beyond this field,
00:15:58.440 was a different kind of country.
00:16:00.760 Not one governed by a law or flag, but by covenant.
00:16:05.680 Not the kind you sign, the kind you live.
00:16:10.020 It wasn't perfect, we still argued, we rationed, we lost sleep.
00:16:14.380 We buried a man who drank antifreeze thinking it was stored alcohol.
00:16:17.760 But every morning the sun came up, and someone who was already by the fire boiling water for the next meal, and it felt like something worth keeping.
00:16:32.120 The church wasn't really a church anymore. It was a hall, it was a pantry, it was a watchtower.
00:16:38.760 By day we stored tools and sorted seeds. By night we prayed. Not formally, not the way we used to.
00:16:47.760 No pews, no sermons, no guilt.
00:16:50.120 Just listening.
00:16:55.340 Sometimes, I think God spoke back.
00:17:00.540 But other times, I think he was still speaking.
00:17:04.340 He just let the silence speak for him.
00:17:07.900 But either way, we stayed.
00:17:13.080 There were 27 of us now.
00:17:15.360 Eight families, one dog, no phones, no passwords.
00:17:19.240 Everything was face-to-face. Everything was earned.
00:17:23.100 A man named Harris took watch at the North Trail.
00:17:25.580 He was an ex-Marine. He was quiet, his hands like stone.
00:17:28.900 He had seen the camps forming near the highway.
00:17:31.720 Refugee zones, he said.
00:17:33.880 Organized, barbed wire, lists, and nobody leaves without approval.
00:17:39.040 He didn't elaborate, but he didn't need to.
00:17:42.000 I met an old woman by the river. She said her name was Clara.
00:17:47.580 She was carrying a bundle of dried herbs and a small wooden cross carved with the year 1912.
00:17:54.720 My great-grandfather carved it during the Dust Bowl, she said.
00:17:59.360 Said we'd need it again someday.
00:18:02.940 She went wrong.
00:18:05.260 In Sanctuary, nobody used the words America or collapse.
00:18:09.360 We just spoke in seasons and shifts.
00:18:12.420 We didn't say we were losing.
00:18:13.660 We said we were becoming.
00:18:15.860 It made the fear easier to hold, I guess.
00:18:22.100 But every paradise hides a gate, and every gate has a watcher.
00:18:29.040 Ours was Thomas.
00:18:29.840 He was 35, former youth pastor, carried a Bible and a scoped rifle.
00:18:35.000 He kept the peace.
00:18:36.640 But I could see the lines forming in his theology.
00:18:40.360 God is separating the wheat from the chaff, he'd say.
00:18:44.320 We're the remnant. 1.00
00:18:47.080 He meant well.
00:18:49.240 His eyes were sharp, but not kind.
00:18:53.240 One night a Muslim family came through, mother, father, two daughters, exhausted, starving.
00:18:59.120 They said they fled from a UN checkpoint that had turned into a conscription site.
00:19:04.520 They said they had no weapons, no affiliations, only questions.
00:19:08.660 Thomas said we should turn them away.
00:19:10.300 They're part of that machine that broke us, he muttered.
00:19:13.800 Let them answer to their own God.
00:19:16.860 But Clara, old Clara with her 1912 cross, she stood between them and the door. 0.53
00:19:22.160 She said, if you want to judge them, judge them after we've all eaten.
00:19:27.700 They stayed.
00:19:29.800 Thomas didn't really speak to us for two days after that.
00:19:33.520 And I think that was the first time I felt it, the sense that something deeper was rising underneath us.
00:19:38.540 Not politics, not ideology, but a spiritual weather pattern.
00:19:45.000 It's as if the ground itself was deciding who belonged and who didn't.
00:19:50.400 One of the kids had a seizure two nights later.
00:19:52.720 No medication, no plan.
00:19:54.620 Just convulsions under a tarp while his mother screamed.
00:19:59.400 Clara rubbed his feet with herbs.
00:20:00.840 I prayed with my hands shaking.
00:20:04.580 It passed.
00:20:07.020 The boy didn't speak, however, for a week.
00:20:10.320 After that, nobody questioned Clara again.
00:20:13.720 The cost of groceries is insane right now.
00:20:16.860 And if you're putting those groceries on a high-interest credit card
00:20:20.000 because the monthly budget is already stretched,
00:20:22.360 there's another problem.
00:20:23.460 You may end up paying that ridiculous price twice.
00:20:27.440 Once at the register and then again in interest.
00:20:29.940 If you're a homeowner carrying high-interest credit card debt, talk to American Financing and do it before September because I think they're going to go up.
00:20:36.860 If you have spent years building equity in your home while your credit cards are charging you 20% interest or more,

00:21:28.240 Somewhere around the third week, we started building The Circle.
00:21:34.660 It was rocks and ash arranged near the edge of the property.
00:21:39.360 It was a place for decisions, for silence, for agreement.
00:21:42.780 No talking unless seated.
00:21:45.080 No weapons allowed inside the ring.
00:21:47.380 No lying.
00:21:48.840 And not because we punished it, but because in the ring it just felt wrong when you did.
00:21:55.620 We met there every three nights.
00:21:57.840 To plan.
00:21:58.720 To account.
00:21:59.980 To confess.
00:22:01.800 Not sin, but truth.
00:22:04.640 What we saw, what we feared, what we knew.
00:22:08.400 I spoke about the flares I had seen in the woods.
00:22:10.540 Green, then red, then blue.
00:22:11.960 Pattern.
00:22:12.580 Timed.
00:22:13.520 Deliberate.
00:22:15.040 Clara said they were signals.
00:22:16.420 Not for us, but for those who still follow the old maps, she said.
00:22:21.460 I didn't ask what she meant, but I started sleeping with my rifle a little closer to me and my family.
00:22:28.140 One man brought news from the outside.
00:22:30.640 He said Blue Helmets had established a reintegration hub in Ohio.
00:22:36.000 They promised food and medicine and shelter.
00:22:38.400 But you had to turn in all your weapons and wear a tracker.
00:22:41.420 Submit to a baseline psychological evaluation every 72 hours.
00:22:44.960 He said the AI ran the screenings, said it could detect intent through word patterns and facial twitching.
00:22:52.340 If it flagged you, you vanished.
00:22:56.600 No trial, no hearing, just transferred.
00:22:59.980 To where?
00:23:01.800 Nobody knew.
00:23:03.820 That same man had a tooth infection.
00:23:05.920 He begged us for antibiotics.
00:23:08.420 But we didn't have any.
00:23:09.720 so he took a knife
00:23:12.020 he sterilized it in the fire
00:23:13.700 and cut the abscess out himself
00:23:15.820 the guy was amazing
00:23:19.040 he didn't scream once
00:23:20.260 he stayed with us for a week
00:23:22.980 then he left
00:23:24.400 said he was heading to the hills
00:23:26.960 where no light showed
00:23:28.320 no footsteps echoed
00:23:29.980 I think he just wanted to disappear
00:23:32.380 before the world finished doing it for him
00:23:34.800 faith
00:23:37.060 was different now
00:23:40.060 For those with real belief, humble, quiet, rooted, they were rock solid.
00:23:46.060 They grieved, yes, but they didn't break.
00:23:49.120 They didn't see this as a punishment, but more of a revelation, not as an end, but a turning point that would be good in the end.
00:23:57.140 But the religious?
00:24:00.860 Some of those guys went really dark.
00:24:03.760 Not just the Islamists, not the Christian fundamentalists,
00:24:07.620 not just the zealots in the mountains or the radicals in the cities,
00:24:10.720 but all of them.
00:24:13.020 The ones who needed certainty, who needed blame,
00:24:16.420 who needed a sword more than a cross.
00:24:18.920 They were forming groups, bands, councils,
00:24:21.840 and not for ministry, but for judgment.
00:24:25.700 Reports came in from Missouri, a doctrine guard patrolling rural roads,
00:24:30.000 questioning strangers about their faith.
00:24:32.660 In Idaho, a commune calling itself the Sons of Elijah
00:24:35.820 burned three cabins they claimed were houses of doubt.
00:24:40.340 Even in sanctuary, we felt it.
00:24:42.740 That pull to purify, to separate, to divide.
00:24:46.820 Thomas began preaching again.
00:24:49.220 Not every night, but often enough. 0.96
00:24:52.140 God doesn't make peace with Babylon, he said, and neither should we.
00:24:56.860 I pulled him aside one night.
00:24:59.320 I told him, this place was built on faith, yes, but it was also built on mercy.
00:25:06.820 He didn't argue, he just smiled.
00:25:10.640 And I think that scared me more than any argument or any threat could.
00:25:16.120 Then there were whispers of darker things.
00:25:18.900 Villages with no time, no clocks.
00:25:22.120 Where people walked in silence and bowed to a man who never showed his face.
00:25:25.980 A woman with black robes who wandered through towns offering visions in exchange for a drop of blood.
00:25:32.780 Places where the air tasted like metal and the animals refused to enter.
00:25:38.940 People said the old gods had returned.
00:25:42.680 I didn't believe it. I mean, not exactly.
00:25:46.460 But I didn't want to walk alone anymore either.
00:25:50.660 Clara told me one night that we weren't just surviving.
00:25:53.720 We were being watched.
00:25:55.980 and watched by something older than nations,
00:25:58.920 something that remembered every broken vow,
00:26:01.560 every forgotten child,
00:26:03.060 every altar torn down for convenience.
00:26:06.520 The line, she said, between heaven and earth,
00:26:09.840 just got thinner.
00:26:11.760 Now everything's closer.
00:26:14.600 I asked her what she meant.
00:26:16.160 She said,
00:26:17.320 Good is awake again,
00:26:20.380 but so is the dark.
00:26:25.980 well sanctuary held for now but we could all feel it the tension outside the tree line
00:26:34.820 the eyes in the brush the questions circling inside every conversation how long how many
00:26:40.980 what happens when they find us what happens when they do one night the girl from the muslim family
00:26:48.220 Amina, left a note on my doorstep. It was a single verse from Isaiah. Come, my people,
00:26:56.660 enter your chambers, shut your doors behind you, hide yourself for a little while until the fury
00:27:02.560 has passed by. She didn't say where she got it. She didn't need to. I folded it and put it in my
00:27:10.100 coat. I look at it every day. I haven't removed it since. We weren't waiting for
00:27:19.080 rescue anymore. We were waiting for that weather pattern. We were waiting for the
00:27:26.320 sky to change. And when it did, we were determined we would be ready.
00:27:40.100 Just a reminder, I'd love you to rate and subscribe to the podcast
00:27:50.380 and pass this on to a friend so it can be discovered by other people.
