'It will be blindingly obvious' by Jeremy Boyce

 It will be blindingly obvious to everyone because there will be an incredible flash, brighter than the dawn of creation or a nuclear bomb. Time will briefly stop, no birds will sing and clocks will not tick, or tock. All normal activity will be stopped and public transport will be suspended, the Stock markets will have a bank holiday, taxes will neither be demanded nor paid,commodities and futures given a day off at the beach, where no seagulls will fly and waves will not break on the grainless sand because the tides will stop pushing and shoving. Beneath the surface fish will take a break and have a much needed nap, all their predators doing likewise. The sun will stop spitting fire and the moon will be neither waxing nor waning, the universe itself will stop Quantumly expanding and all the black holes will suddenly turn white. The plants and trees will stop growing out of respect, and their flowers will not fade, so as to add joy to the occasion. Everybody will be happy and smiling and the bees, butterflies and other pollinators will collect pollen and nectar all day long untroubled by wind, rain or insect repellant. The mosquitos will stop biting and wasps will be happy to play among themselves, not bothering the festive barbeques or picnics. There will be no sand in the sandwiches and the dropped ice-creams will always land cone side down. On this day I will know I have found true love.
