B.R.T. 19.04 - Fireflies. Posted 3/25/2013

***

There it stood...horrible, black, and burned in the cold unearthly light...
a gruesome, blurred pillar where a living creature had formerly stood.
The demon laughed at his cruel artistry...

and then...

the surface cracked.  Light shone through the cracks...
the surface exploded!

Blackened flakes fell away.  Gleaming torrents of color flew away!
Butterflies...a horde of tiny butterflies, gleaming with stored energy
from the fiery burst, scattering the crushed remnants of those 
closest to the surface that had burned and vaporized, dissipating 
the energy that could not be stored.

A self-replicating, ablative covering...courtesy of Ultimate Optimus...
engineered over the course of several years...

Several years that had passed while the demon was taunting him.
For each minute that had gone by...
six days had passed outside!
