Want to help write a serious story about the cessation of terrorism?

Today’s flurry of terrorist warnings in the news got me thinking how wonderful it would be if for 24 hours, thanks to either divine intervention or an unprecedented wave of human love and kindness, every single terrorist, soldier, criminal and any other person or organization chartered to do others harm totally laid down their arms for 24 hours? And then I thought, mmmm, interesting story idea, that. So why don’t we write that story? I’ll pen the first sentence and each of you add to the story until we bring it to some kind of conclusion. Oh, and I’d really like to keep it as serious and snary-less as possible. So please participate if you can agree to that one little request, or feel free to start another thread writing a satiric version.

On Friday, October 7, 2010, all war, terrorism and other forms of killing stopped for 24 hours.
