- The day gets dark and birds fall silent. A metallic, clear
- yet opaque substance seems to gradually replace the quite ordinary
- air. There's a sense of expectation; everyone knows what is going
- to happen. They fumble with equipment in small groups or alone,
- quite oblivious to each other mostly.
-
- With an apocalyptic fury, the winged serpent in a shared vision
- devours the source of life. Unexpected panic seizes the travellers,
- collapses them, makes them crazy, demands of them in a penetrating
- voice from no lips for blood. Knives are found and employed in
- the eternal dark. Many cameras are broken.
