The Emergence (2)

Although the roughly 40 of us were relatively calm, to any normal person on Earth, what we were witnessing would be no different from a movie about the end of the world.

Off in the distance, hundreds of news helicopters, media vans, reporters, hell, even government workers, and typical rubberneckers were watching on in horror as the giant pillar of light extended toward the sky from the ground.

I didn't doubt that hundreds of millions of eyes were watching what was happening on their TVs or listening on the radio; I had seen similar things before when the Descent of Arkadia began.

While this was nothing new for us, for the people of 1999, it was everything. Every news outlet and TV channel was covering the "Colorado Lights,"

 It didn't take long for the ground outside of my control to begin eroding away and transforming into a fast-moving flow of Earth being drawn toward the Inscription.
