Hear that, Jane?
Yes, that’s the sound of it right there… thud, thud, thud. Well, either it’s that, or there’s an earthquake happening.
Hmm, an earthquake. Wouldn’t be too far off the mark, really, would it?
Oh, don’t play dumb with me. You know what’s coming. You were here last time. You survived.
What’s past is past, I guess. But you never know. It might be different this time. The next village survived last time, didn’t it?
Look, don’t be so scared; it was going to happen eventually, right? I mean, we were always in its path; it always passed through here, all those years ago, before it was knocked to sleep.
Shame the sleep wasn’t permanent.
It’s getting closer. Can’t be more than a few hundred miles now. Woops, there goes the mountain. Damn, I was going to climb it next week.
There, look, that shape? That’s it. I can feel it. Couldn’t be any of the others, not that big at that distance. Well, I suppose if it’s just really dusty out.
You OK? Really?
Come here, come here… it’ll be OK. I promise. Look, we can go underground. It’ll be safe there, it’s all reinforced like the old ones used to use, see?
Here, eat this. It should help. Sugar always helps when you’re afraid.
…can I have a bite?
