Breakthrough

Boom!
Cutting holes through the morning sky,
and slithering,  unhurt, through grey tube
streets, the shoal invaded the concrete waters. Buildings bowed ungraciously, passing fearful dwellers onto the blood stained cobbles. People disguised as ghosts, flitted eerily across the smoke filled alleys, skimming past the felled and wounded, to claim asylum with the almighty. The morning gaiety of skipping children, replaced with the shrieks of gibbose wives and mothers, shielding their precious cargo from harm, as the frenzied shoal roared, basking in its fiery devastation. As the shoal retreated, and the weeping huddled masses, ventured once more into their future.
