Starfish (my cosmic horror)
A crumbling sky, Agate in blackness, held indescribable rifts that hurled crackling roars through space. Sounds of heavy aircraft artillery and countless generations of warfare blended with the thunderous echoes. Hanging over the mortified and helpless onlookers, the skies appeared to almost shatter and dissolve into a morphing blend of both human and non-human colors. The horrific happenings all appeared to be dispersed rather evenly amongst the night sky, wrapping covertly the source of the hallowed crackling upon the ozone of the earth.
Each anomaly held the appearance of cracking glass and gave hint to jellyfish-like appendages of unknown colors. These colors, constantly changing, all while it’s shape appeared to rebirth itself in a constant action similar to slowed lightning.
One could notice how these anomalies appeared to be at battle with each other, causing the earth to rumble and shake through such unprecedented will. These cosmic foreigners also in visual conflicts through their flowing display of colors in an almost telepathically aggressive manner.
As i stood caught in awestruck horror staring up at the night sky, for which i have grown to know with such undeserved security. Some sort of rekindled frantic awareness led me to realize there were no planes in that sky. That indeed no dogfights, nor mass of military force, stood behind the warlike sounds of aircraft and turrets fire. The crude sounds of mankind so utterly unexplained, brought forth a hellish sickness over the legacy of such beautiful disaster.
Was it the rapture? Hell over earth reigned from the heavens?
Or perhaps it’s something far darker..
