jackBy the foot of the mountain we were bloodied, dirtied and weary. We had made it to this dangerous place, but... increasing seismic activity. The mountain was constantly shaking, dark dies covered in ash, and wheeling, screeling pterodons... began to split, slabs of rock the size of cities breaking away and sliding down the slopes. Lava oozed between...
...a pillar of smoke higher than the clouds. As we looked, we slowly realised it suggested the form of a human figure, miles high. Johnson's grasped her rifle reflexively, but... At the highest stratum glimpsed briefly through the cloud, the spreading smoke took the form of a giant head. Billows of glowing ash suggested eyes, and a firey... then the winds took it, and the smoke streamed away for a moment, and coalesced, the head tilting, and inclining, the eyes glowing more fiercely as they came to bear down on us through the clouds...
We shivered. This was the shape a demon which had imposed its will on acres and years of death had chosen to manifest itself in. Human once, it drove the lost valley back from the deepest parts of the Veil Glaucous death toward life, absorbing the souls of everyone with...
The lower part of the pillar of pillar of smoke began to separate, becoming visible as two separate limbs, near as tall as the clouds. One swung forward, the lowest part tearing free from the mountain and standing free. It clipped the side of the mountain, and a quarter of the mountain was knocked aside, a rain of hot rocks, lava and dust hurled away to land maelstromicly on...
...not just a vision, the demon avatar had taken a form in its world. At the point nearest life, our journey reached an end, but...
I actually did it. I voluntarily, of my own free will, deliberately installed an mp3 ring tone on my phone. (The voice of the awesome GLADoS computer from PORTAL.) I never thought I would do that.
(And it took about five minutes of fiddling to get it from the computer to the phone to the ring tone selection menu, and next time much less. So, what's the deal with buying ringtones for £1 or more? This idea sort of passed me by, what's it for?)
(Lost world typically represents how I feel about work today. But this is a departure, I felt this apocalyptic climax suited this post :))
