THE LEGEND by
Shun Kijima |
|
 |
 |
"Jonnie, twenty miles away, saw
the drone launch. It was a huge thing. . . . It went
by them to the east, looming in the sky, so big it looked
close even though two miles away. . . . A tense Jonnie
clocked it at about three hundred miles an hour. A battle
plane had fired just behind it." |

to a single lever that stuck out from the front of it.
The monster pushed the lever down. Jonnie's eyes went
round. He backed up. The object talked!" |

bodies." |

|
| "The drone was not rolling
now that it had been relieved of its unstabalizing weight. . . . The
lethal cargo soared onward toward Scotland and the rest
of the world, its goal the final obliteration of the remainder
of the human race, the ones it had missed a thousand or
more years ago." |
