I'm Not a Short, Balding Guy, But --
...a short, balding guy. middle-aged; sort of how you imagine Greg Bear to be if you squashed him along the Z-axis a bit. He's creeping through a junkyard on the edge of a forest. every few seconds, there's this BOOM, a deep, ground-shaking thump that sounds like a bass drum the size of a football field. When this happens, he pauses in terror, looks around, and then continues. He isn't making much progress. It's almost morning. The BOOMs are getting louder. Suddenly, a shadow falls over him. He freezes, looks up; the dark blue sky is partially obscured by something large and dark grey, something with legs, standing over him. He can't move. A huge cylindrical leg falls out of the sky and pounds him into the soft, muddy ground, making a hole about a metre deep and about three metres in diameter. It breaks just about all of his bones, so when the foot lifts off him, he can't get up out of the mud; face down, he starts to drown ... bubbles splash around the corners of his mouth ... he SCREAMS - and then I wake up. Later that day, Jurassic Park is released on video. |
