M7 Disaster Ficlet

Written for a prompt on comment_fic on a theme of apocalypse/after-the-fall. The prompt was "Magnificent Seven, any or all, the morning after the big bang." I wasn't sure what was meant by 'big bang', so I went with something like an airburst meteor? Four Corners on the edges of the Tunguska blast, sort of thing. To warn in advance, Josiah gets the worst of this by far, and the ending doesn't really fix it.
