[ WP ] The United States of America lost a nuclear war to a country the entire world least expected to attack . Describe the first day of the attack : Thanksgiving day , 2014z

I woke up on Thanksgiving Day to the most heartbreaking scene a young boy could imagine -- not only were there no smells of thanksgiving feasting spreading through my house, but our TV was n't working either, as it was picking up nothing but dead static. This meant that I would have to miss the Detroit Lions lose today... but it was a Thanksgiving tradition! 
 
 
 I knew that something more serious was happening, however, when I met my mom in the hallway between our rooms and she looked as though she had been crying. 
 
 
 `` What's wrong, mom?'' I asked with as inquisitive a tone as possible. 
 
 
 `` The grocery stores throughout our city, as well as the entire New York area have had all of their deliveries intercepted, and nothing but maple syrup is coming in.'' 
 
 
 This seemed odd to me, but as somebody who enjoys maple syrup, it could have been worse. 
 
 
 I was uncertain what the impeding of deliveries meant, but I knew that coupled with the television problem, something was definitely up. 
 
 
 It was at precisely this moment when I heard the first explosion in the distance. It sounded similar to a hockey player being slammed into the boards by a powerful check, but was followed by a dull detonation. 
 
 
 Almost simultaneously to the explosion, my television finally turned on, and there, centered perfectly on the screen was Stephen Harper, the Prime Minister of Canada. He spoke very deliberately, and in a manner that seemed too friendly to be evil, yet maintained diabolical undertones. 
 
 He spoke slowly and without wasting words, but what he did say will stay with me forever. 
 
 
 `` Sorry to inform you, but every professional sports league besides the NHL will be cancelled from this point forward. Also, we will be nuclear bombing the entirety of the United States over the next 24 hours... if that's alright with you.'' 
 
 `` Wait, wait, no, even if it is n't alright with you. Sorry. 
 
 
 `` Wait, wait, no need for me to apologize, i'm sorry. 
 
 
 `` Gosh darnit, ignore this rambling, sometimes I am too polite for my own good. I hope you enjoy ice sports, maple syrup and destruction, that is all that is on the menu from this point forward. Thanks''
