<Walking like a cowboy, thinksnow rambles to the
center of the ring and while ignoring all current attacks
he grabs the PA and clears his throat>
“FTR: I think I know the sting of long distance
and the problems associated with not being able to see the
object of your interest. So I thank you for adding injury
to insult.”
“Now, about this can in my can…from this,
I know it should pass quickly (though painfully) since I’ve
been eating chili and drinking coffee, so . . . onward.”
<voice booming, drowning out all other sound>
**
“There shall be a reckoning, and it will begin . . . now: ”**
<faintly, a deep thrumming pulse is felt throughout the
arena as spectators and competitors alike hear/feel a
reverberation>
wumwumwumwumwumwumWUMwumWUMwumWUMwumWUM
<dust sifts from the rafters, birds take sudden and
startled flight>
WUMwumWUMwumWUMwumWUMwumWUMWUMWUMWUMWUM
<stronger and more insistent, the sound and feel infuses
all that it touches deep in their bones, indeed, to their
very marrow >
WUMWUMWUMWUMMHHUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
<in the distance, a child shrieks and a grown man cries out in his sleep>
Suddenly, there is a shout- “Look! What is that glowing?!”
<gasps and stares followed by slack jaws, bugging eyes and
fainting follow. Those who remain standing witness the
events to follow, sure they will remember them every day of
their life>
In the middle of the ring, standing alone, solitary and
monolithic, is ts. There is a calm surrounding him.
The events befalling all are not touching him, rather, he
stands with his arms by his sides, not quite akimbo, head
ever so slightly dropped, but enough so that he is looking
somewhat down. Utterly calm, the picture of tranquility.
It starts with the slightest movement: the lifting of his
shoulders, the thrust of his chest forward followed by the
raising of his chin. There is a gleam in his eye,
terrifying to behold, impossible to look away from. In a
flash, it seems, his arms are moving, his legs are pumping
and he is a whirling dervish.
Breathless, what remains of the crowd await the inevitable
attack. Like a force of Nature itself, ts boldly
moves about the ring, contemplating each opponent in turn
before reclaiming the center of the ring.
Raising his arms with un-clenched fists, rising ever so
much above the very floor of the arena and unleashing a
sound so raw, so primal, you can not at first tell that you
are even hearing it, thinksnow releases his attack:
The anti-climax.
