Where
Dark Angels Tread

The
reports were at first sporadic. Dark shadows in alleyways, behind
buildings, in basements. Things seen from the corner of your eye but
gone when you turn. A blackness blacker than black seemingly
absorbing light from around it. Reports from Jacksonville, Amarillo,
Tucson, L.A. By the time the media took note it was clear the
shadows, the reports, were moving in waves, arcs, growing in strength
and frequency. A wave of darkness moving east across the country like
weather, like earthquake tremors but reversed, moving together,
towards an epicenter, growing stronger, more focused on the Potomac,
on the White House.
