Sometimes the sky has teeth and that's okay.
Well, not okay but something that's easier to hide from when you recognise the signs that it's coming.
Nobody wants to be outside when the sky opens its mouth and nobody wants to get close enough to figure out what it even is. Apparently it can be seen from space but none of the photos have been made public and nobody who's seen it from up there wants to tell us anything.
It only takes one person at a time which is better than it could be I guess. Doesn't make it any easier to watch, especially when they don't go quietly. Takes them a fair while to reach the teeth too, screaming, cussing and begging all the while. There's nothing the rest of us can do but watch them go.
You never see them get eaten as such, the mouth just closes, they vanish and the sky looks the same as it did before it opened up. Our graveyard is full of empty coffins and fresh headstones and we're no closer to understanding what it is than we were when it first appeared.
