The smart exterior made the building impressive
standing fifty stories high.
In the busy business district of the new town
nobody suspected its real use!
Nor that there were over twenty floors below
where only certain staff could go!
Life raced on with no outward sign for concern
deep within the interior.
A series of experiments were being carried out
certain it would be undetected.
Drawing no attention in an unexpected location
not worried about the exploitation!
The nature of their work was futuristic in concept
the earth’s structure at risk!
Where they were in an advanced stage of creating
the first working time machine!
Determined to succeed losses were accepted
the deadline more respected!
The pressure was coming to a breaking point
mistakes bound to occur!
A special chamber was set into motion
power surged through cables.
Another human sat motionless as once again
they felt the energy drain!
Seeing the atmosphere pulled violently apart
but this had not happened before.
The disintegration was no longer contained
enveloping them as well!
Then upwards through the floors to the roof
exposed in tangible proof.
That something covert was within their midst
but nobody had time to care.
A shimmering light replaced the office block
yet something was there!
From this matter a hideous thing did crawl
on the town death did befall!
The military were soon evacuating survivors
and blocking any entry!
Without any idea of what had been allowed in
to our time line or where it came!
Interfering once more with no back up plan
the irresponsibility of man!
As the crisis got out of hand the date stood out
it was the 23 rd December 2012!
What do you think happened next?
The Foureyed Poet.
