I got up and wiped the dirt from my skin and clothing though I couldn’t remove it all. I read an article on the internet once about such a thing but I didn’t believe it to be true.
I watched the giant foot ascend back into the clouds. The Earth darkened as it covered the sun. Did anyone see this happen? I questioned my own sanity for a moment.
I ran my hands all over my body to make sure I had not been injured in the “pressing” – That’s what the story I read called this event: “A pressing.”
The foot and all of its weight had smashed my frame into the Earth and then released me. I walked around the edge of the foot print to make sure I wasn’t dreaming.
It was real.
The center of the impression was now fertilized with my DNA. There was a stench coming from the soil. It smelled like an old pasture full of manure. I nearly gagged at the scent.
There was nothing left for me to do now but sit and wait to see if I had become a victim. I took a seat over by the trees and watched as one by one the fall colored leaves fell to the ground and scattered onto the print – covering the turf completely. I bowed my head and wept – The process wouldn’t take long. When I finally looked back, it happened. They grew like Corn stalks, they grew quickly and they were exactly what I expected.
They hatched into tiny versions of myself but with more strength than one could imagine. They scattered off into the mountains. I knew they had gone to join the other “Press Releases” – to harm all of mankind and take from them their worth. The Universe was now acting upon its plan.
