...and they came down from out of nowhere, on a mission to subjugate a people to their wills, put them under their dominion, make them slaves to their desire.
We never saw it coming, the attack. In every country, in every land, those lines appeared from the sky, and hit the earth in explosions of dust, cracking whatever surface they lit upon and sticking fast. We looked upon them in wonder and awe. What were they? Where did they come from? There was nothing in the sky that they could be attached to, that we could see. Nothing.
Yet from that nothing something came. Oh yes, they came, and they were evil and dreadful and full of destruction.
We never saw it coming, and we were completely overwhelmed, and it wasn't long before we were absolutely destroyed. |
