One night, I looked out through the window, and saw it approaching from the deep, blind sky. Because it was so far away it seemed very small at first, and because it was so big it seemed to move slowly.
But because it was so powerful, it came swiftly. Noiselessly. Irresistibly.
It came unnoticed, uninvited.
