News had drifted on the wind of many minds that this was to be an
|
occassion of great importance. For it was said by some that Earth City
|
had somehow uncovered a single time sleeper from the time before.
|
|
Although the cryptic writings upon his tomb were now faded beyond
|
decipherable reading, it was said, by the disembodied members of the
|
ruling kind, that the entombed was from that time on Earth before the
|
city stretched its metal web from pole to pole leaving green things only
|
in the wells of immortal minds.
|
|
Upon the third revolution after its arrival, the tomb that slept without
|
life was removed for inspection. The day was programmed for a clear dome
|
above, with a mild breeze wafting from the central weather post. Below,
|
throngs of class three occupants were gathering from various sectors to
|
observe the opening. As per standard procedure, their data input
|
stations were fed appropriate propaganda so that their reports would
|
coincide with what the rulers had predetermined.
|
|
And so it was upon that day of opening, his spirit did appear and confuse
|
once again. It was evident to all that what lay within was not of mortal
|
composure. Thoughts emanating from deep within its dimensionless cave
|
conveyed this belief to all within the medi-dome.
|
|
What is this apparition now amongst our kind?
|
|
Quickly thereafter, all pressure was released from within the stillness.
|
Earth City, unknowingly at that time, was about to enter a new phase of
|
its existence.
|
|
Violent quaking began to shake the towers of sector 63. Manifestations
|
of melting spead its wings over the structure until once again, ancient
|
soil kissed the sky.
|
|
And the beginning of the end swept all that was into its eternal grasp.
