THIRD SHAKY STONE

FROM THE SUN.

Watchful, yet oblivious

to the action in the floors above,

the grainy monitors began to show other movements...

on other floors...

doorways buckled,

and glass shattered...

desks and tables slid effortlessly across the floors.

There was a growling, crashing sound,

from way above..

up in the heavens

there was the noise of angry gods...

Outside,

the tarmac of the parking lot buckled,

and swallowed up the three cars which had been left to it's care.

Glass began to fall from the skies,

some small pieces,

and then other huge sheets....

smashing down onto the pavements,

and hurled,

caught in the freefall winds,

blocks away...

massive evil clear pieces of death and destruction...

The wailing began some distance away,

and then grew into a raucous cacophony of screaming and horrified shrieking.

As moments passed the voices were drowned in the sirens.

The monitors began to blink..

electrical surges moved into the wires,

and images flickered and died.

In the last seconds before the complete collapse of the building,

there was one final view..

three naked and huffing people clung to each other,

intertwined and howling in last lust..

sliding out of the huge hole left when the window buckled

and exploded into the night sky.

Later, on the evening news...

there would be relief that the building was entirely unoccupied,

save for the young security guard

with the promising acting career.

and there would be the mystery of three completely naked,

and absolutely smashed and unidentifiable bodies,

found in the wreckage of a giant parking garage several blocks away.
