"The world went quiet. Too quiet."
How and why? Just use that line as a basis for a short story!

Rejoice or Run

The world went quiet

Too quiet

As everyone held their breath

Unknowing whether to rejoice or run.

Americans pointed guns

Cocked to fire

As did many in the Middle East

First reaction, always.

That's why they came.

To save the world

Swooping from the Heavens

Or those embedded on the earth

Refound themselves

And broke out wings to join the Heavenly hordes.

Starseeds, Angels call them what you will.

Their time had come.

We had warned of this

The crescendo of events.

Hatred, prejudice, venomous vitriol

Could not go on.

The creator provided a planet of potential and beauty.

These humans would be stopped on their destructive quest.

They had ignored their guides, their siddhis; the basic intuition embedded in them.

So now they must be shown.

And they could either accept

Or be replaced.
