How To Survive A Swarm Of Bees

A couple sit in their bedroom. She refuses to leave the room. He is desperate to leave. Elsewhere and yet inexplicably here another couple face a dilemma. A storm is coming. And with it a legion of bees. The news reporters are evaporating into thin air live on air, their voices still monotonously reading out the news. Bodies are beginning to pile up outside the house and no one is quite sure why or where they came from. The storm has whipped the seas up so there is now only a puddle left where once there were oceans. People have begun to cross the sea on foot. Masks keep appearing on doors. In the midst of this people are beginning to move underground, but will they all fit. 

Both couples are at a crossroad, do they stay or do they leave.

And what is on the other side.
