It came from the sky; silence shattered as it fell.
A domino unknowingly set by persons no longer present.
Tense silence followed in its wake.
Waves cascaded as it did; tumbling to Earth from beyond sight.
Eyes believed to be traitors despite the proof.
Readers dismayed at the hoax.
Suddenly stopping as resistance met; buried by itself.
Solitary soldier sped to a self dug grave.
Mistakes made by past echo present.
The aftermath was clear to see; chaos ran rampant.
Unbridled carnage as victims assessed and counted.
Down to the tomb.
Normality slowly returned; the damage cleared.
Cleaned the wounds the alien caused.
Effects returned from whence they came.
One attacker; two victims.
Casualties of an effect unwittingly triggered.
Discipline to prevent recurrence.
A moment's pause to understand; impossibility just occurred.
Happened in an instant.
Replayed to understand.
