Segment 4 (concluded)

Globule dots fluttered a playful wink down towards our present location in vein of a blink from the human eye. A possible reminder dancing upon the escaping gases all across the ever expanding milky way. Sight from below, here as we stand, reminded me of the murky waters ten thousand leagues beneath the great ocean. A solidified liquid encircled and spread across the air like smog caught inside the updraft clouds, those of which that cast the earth's atmosphere a dark concentrated hue, one so powerful and deep that not even the remaining electrical surge of lights currently illuminating from a distant desolate and abolished city could bridge.

All we were left with as a dimly lit guide was the sparkling freckled sky face, blinking, crying, and watching over us ever so vigilantly.

"Where's the damn moon at again Walsh?"

"I told you before" snapped my partner "the name's not Walsh; it's Alfred. As for your lackluster orbiting garbage disposal... I told you already. We got rid of it before the incident."

Puzzled I asked "Yes but why would you do such a thing?"

"What the hell is this, twenty questions? You like everyone else should remember it like yesterday! It's orbit around the earth was jarred loose some twenty years ago at the peak of our newly rising star goddess; The Red Devil. Shit" Alfred scuffed against the ground pulling a crumpled paper from amongst the rubble. "Read it for yourself"

I took hold the tarnish report glancing past the headliner.

Collision imminent!

Sources have told our very own Tracy O'Connell that the moon's current trajectory has it enclosing upon our atmosphere with the collision foretold to happen as early as three pm tomorrow afternoon. Head scientist of asteroid research and defense Morgan Shawl had these words for the public.

"We have a plan in place to advert the oncoming incident. A plan we've centered around the new gravitational field of project 99 A. This highly potential and potent technology will allow us to rip the axis of our very own moon back to it's original placement. I assure you, public of Freedom Park, you have nothing to fear"


"I don't understand Alfred, what exactly occurred here?"

"You read the newspaper?"

"Yeah but-"

Alfred abruptly interrupted me. "That's what happened."
