Fallout — K.C. Hunter

Alexander and Samantha Harrington were very well off, in fact they were billionaires. They were liked by everyone, but unbeknown to them, their wealth was also envied, even by people in their own affluent bracket, (not that there were many at their high level). Theirs was the perfect marriage, at last it seemed so from the outside, and their children were impeccably behaved and caused only enormous pride. Unlike most extremely wealthy people, they always made time for their family, never missing their children's sports or anything else they participated in. That is until the day it happened. Then everything changed in an instant, and the most common feeling towards the Harringtons from then on was pity. All the trite phrases were true from that day forward; nothing was ever the same; it changed them all, and those around them, forever. While these might sound like banal expressions, just how much that single event would change their world is something no one could imagine. They were talked about all over the world and helped by some, hindered by others, but no one was indifferent to the plight of the Harringtons after that day.
