Shake, Rattle and Roll
What: Earthquake!!
Date: Saturday, Oct. 11
Time: NOW!
The altar deep in the ravine began to hum and the odd device atop it began to glow, sending out tendrils of energy, attempting to communicate with its counterpoint on the other side of town When wave of energy encountered the Doctor's barrier, it pressed against it. It needed to connect with it's mate, needed to make the connection. The device could manipulate death, but it's mate was responsible for bringing others through time.
The altar began to vibrate, the energy beginning to feed back upon itself, doubling in power as it pressed against the barrier yet again, reaching out for its counterpoint.
The ground began to tremble as the energy bounced back and forth between the altar and barrier. The energy built to a crescendo until the barrier shattered, and it was able to break free, ripping through the ground around Aternaville. In town, the ground began to tremble, rattling dishes and plates in their cupboards. It was the only warning before the burst of energy caused the ground to roll, jolting foundations and sending a jagged crack to open down the middle of main street. The older buildings were shook from their foundations, walls cracking as the shock wave rippled past.
Finally, the wave was absorbed by its hidden counterpart, and the earth began to settle.
There was a momentary silence before the cries of help and fear were heard echoing throughout the town.
