requiem for a 50 foot woman

a moment of silence please...

"Although the city is still in smoking ruins and the sirens have yet to wind down i think i can speak for everyone here in stating that we will miss her. Yes, she shredded the monorail, yes the orphanages and hospitals are but rubble and the war memorial will never be seen in quite the same way. But her brief rampage into the heart of our city will be felt for generations to come. Years from now the story will be told and those who are here to today will turn to each other and say, "Yes, I remember. I remember when she stomped on the Tastee-Freeze. I remember when she flooded the zoo. I remember the dark and stormy night when she batted aside the power plant with a flick of one hand."
"As devastating, and yes, exhilerating as her presence was in our fair city her impact is only matched by her absence. For a brief moment of time we were all at the epicenter of one very tall woman's rage. I don't believe that i am alone in saying it was the best night of my life. Yes, i was nearly crushed under the library but i would not exchange that moment for all the years in a suburban paradise."
"Wherever she might be now, whatever town or hamlet she may be burning to the ground, our thoughts go out to her. God bless you, 50 foot woman, wherever you are."

amen.
