Novel

The faintest rumble in the East Droplets; barely noticeable Did you hear that? Must have imagined it Anyway, not intrusive enough to spoil our most important of conversations... The Economy is thriving, the housing market is back to boom levels! How disconnected How terribly disconnected Then, the distant Thunderclap Did you hear that? What? I dont think I heard anything Oh wait! I see it now... But it's far, far away Cant affect us! Then, the skies over Lombardy and the unfriendly states darken Now, we see the sweated, furrowed brows... The rain falling. Slight. Distant, but in sight Intrusive now! But we know these places! Centres of Haute Couture...nothing bad could ever happen there! Hold on... It moves closer? How...? Now its amongst us. Growing, feeding, an exponential maw of unending hunger An appetite that wont be sated Its upon us now Its upon all of us now... History doesnt stop. We are living it All is to transmogrify, All will be new, and strange An unthinkable unutterably terrible change...
