[ WP ] At some point in time , a mysterious phenomenon occurred in which everyone on earth was trapped within a 10km ( 6.2 mile ) radius of where they were standing , unable to move past their boundary .

He'd always been alone. He was barely in touch with his family, ever since he'd moved out of that drunkard's home, and the incident only made things easier - kept his sister from finding his new hovel and harassing him to `` just forgive and forget'' the bastards. 
 
 But he'd always had an eye for opportunity. Pyramid schemes were easy money before he burned the bridges and moved to another town. Retail was always hiring. Busking - he had a talent for juggling, singing and marionettes, and when combined he had a good act going. 
 
 With the barriers he saw opportunity. He quickly opened a Facebook page, posted his limits, and said, `` I will deliver anything in this area.'' 
 
 It was surprising how fast people jumped on. Mail and personal packages, before the government could get their act together, rocketed him to the forefront of this new industry. Cartons of cigarettes were good for quick cash, but after getting mugged one night he sold off his rickety bicycle for an electric scooter. He joined the chain of couriers to make regular deliveries across the country. His most unusual regular: a weekly run with a dog to his favourite dog park, which the owner could no longer visit. 
 
 But what he loved the most - and charged only a pittance for - was knocking on the door of a particular woman. Same time, every other day ( even though he did n't normally work weekends ). 
 
 `` Letter for you,'' he grinned when she opened the door. 
 
 `` You sweetheart,'' she smiled. `` Come in for a slice of pie? It'll take me a few minutes to write a response.'' 
 
 `` Of course,'' he answered. 
 
 Homemade apple pie felt like a novelty in the new world, considering the differences in logistics, and he relished it, careful not to look in the direction of the sitting room where the wife wrote a response to her husband. It took an hour, something he did n't mind with her, before she emerged from the room, eyes looking a little wet and hands holding a thick parcel. 
 
 `` Same time in two days?'' 
 
 `` Same time in two days.''
