The fog ! It was a moment of madness and the urgent message was to find somewhere high, and quickly. So I flew up the mountain path and some others had done the same but we couldn't see anything much. The fog covered the land but we could see over it like we were traveling in a jet. Someone pointed out a change happening far in the distance and the sky looked dirty. It was an impact one guy said and another was busy tuning his radio. A mass of distressed voices raised the alarm and we caught that a wave was coming. How far inland would it come and were we high enough. Someone thought they could hear something so we quietened straining our ears for the sound of the approaching wave. It seemed so surreal, to go from a normal morning to be confronted by the unfolding disaster. We would undoubtedly hear the water coming, smashing trees and whatever but because of the fog we couldn't see anything. How high would the water come up the mountain? Now the distant dirty brown sky was spreading and many would be thrust into the growing darkness. Maybe a hail of rocks too. Then we could hear something approaching in the distance. Unlike anything I'd ever heard before. A rumbling sound as the water forced its way inland. Coming in between the mountain ranges. Everyone looked shocked. No one knew what to do ! The blasted fog hid everything ! It was only the sound that we had to figure it out. Then cows could be heard in the distance, way below our height. I remembered being trapped by a bushfire once, the darkness and stillness before the firestorm. Then the wind swept in the flying embers that stung when they touched your skin. Millions of them, and the smoke! It seared your lungs. Now the dirty patch of sky was heading towards us and we'd have to retreat to the vehicles when it came. Then no end in sight, maybe in a day or two we could try to get down again but the roads would all be blocked by the fallen timber. We'd be forced to go on foot. I had a bunker but with no way to find it in the changed landscape. What I needed was a GPS location. Then it would take a lot of digging to uncover it. I had to find the radio to find out what had happened. Was it oomarooa? That strange rock said to have arrived from an Ancient no longer existing solar system. That's where it got its speed.  Imagine my surprise when I found out that my opinion actually mattered!  |

thru the fog the light did shine

Driving home from work one time, along the ocean, this wave of sea fog just enveloped the highway. It was daylight when I entered the fog but then some Stephen King like feeling was all around me.
