The invasion of the Jellyfish-Whale
started out fine.
It moved so slowly across the sky
that we had plenty of time to run and hide.
What we didn't know
was that its tentacles
were curled up inside
its body,
and when the Jellyfish-Whale
unfurled them,
electromagnetic waves
were released through the air
and into the ground
and into our bodies.

Then the Jellyfish-Whale
sent down another team of tentacles,
these long and thin
and hollow,
and they burrowed inside our electromagnetically shocked bodies
and sucked us dry.
Then it just
floated away,
off to invade another poor lot
taken in by its gargantuan gentility.
Until, of course,
it zaps and devours them, too.
