There are pillars of hands emerging all around town
We've examined them run tests
And attempted to destroy these pillars but were met with no understanding
No explanation
And no results
Every so often one of the pillars will arch downward and seize a passerby
Grabbing at him or her and tearing them into bloody pieces before our eyes
We would attack the pillars of hands which suffered no damage and which would retaliate only by gently feeling at us
As if trying to understand our bodies
We have been living in this state for five months so far and have yet to make progress
Rarely another pillar will emerge from the soil from the brambles
From the sidewalks and concrete streets
Pushing everything from trees to asphalt to steel from its wake
Businesses have been shut down from the damages
Roads have been closed after oncoming cars are pulverized on contact with emerging pillars
There's a young man in town
A newcomer only moving in shortly before the pillars emerged
As of late the pillars have begun pointing at him
At first it was only a few hands but soon the entire mass would contort its uncounted index fingers toward this young newcomer as he passed
The ladies at the local diner
The one shut not shut off by emerging pillars have been chatting with the hairdressers and antique shoppers across the street and they're certain he's the one who brought this plague upon our dynasties
Brenton Elliot was the first to decide to move out because of the pillars
His house hvac was ruined and his mechanic's shop brought down by two separate incidents so he took his wife and kids and he took off for his relatives down in the piedmont
They turned a corner on the mountain road and were thrown off the cliffside by a wall of anxious hands
The farthest out from 21st street we've ever seen
Now federal officials are arriving
Forcing people out of their homes to set up research stations
I've seen helicopters overhead and tanks rolling down streets
Men in black suits and white masks are knocking on doors to ask questions about the pillars
And residents are going missing after these visits
Three army soldiers were killed yesterday
After a pillar chose one of them as its arbitrary outlet of aggression
The other two were killed by shrapnel from ricocheting bullets
Last night
I saw something watching me through my bedroom window
It bore a gas mask and clawed talons
Today we noticed the mist rolling in from the mountains
And saw the valley below interrupted by pillars of hands
Emerging through the earth's follicles
