Look, look outside...
A wave of grey engulfs the horizon
It stretches forever
Slowly, it creeps towards you
It devours the very sky above
Surrounded by a moving wall of impenetrable power
All is silent
Not a mouse stirs
But the electricity in the air,
It reaches out, alive
It whispers to you
It tells us of times to come
Times of terror
Of gloom,
Doom
Skyscrapers and houses
Everywhere everything we have ever worked for
Utterly consumed by the creature behind grey walls
And all the while
Silence screams in agony
As it holds back
the demons beyond
The world explodes
Ghosts scream their hollow, dreaded screams
They cry and howl
as they fly around us
Rain falls like lead
from it’s gaping maw
Sleets of invisible death pour
Trees uproot,
Cars fly,
Houses gone
It is upon you
It’s ancient power beyond comprehension
It is terrible
Yet…
It is beautiful, magnificent and worthy of awe
Close your eyes
Leave this place
travel to a world far away
A world of silence
Safety
Close your eyes
And maybe it’ll leave
