Campfire story

Lucent Freedyn - Ghost Writer

In an unprecedented global disaster now being called “The Rumbling,”  hundreds of thousands of colossal titans have emerged from under various buildings of Ferris’ campus, and are advancing across western Michigan, leaving destruction in their wake.

Witnesses reported that notable campus structures, such as FLITE and the University Center, began collapsing, revealing that their structures were composed not of stone and metal, but of enormous humanoid giants over 60 meters tall. The creatures began moving outward in synchronized formation, triggering massive earthquakes. Entire cities vanished within minutes.

Sources confirm that Brutus, the university’s mascot, has activated this power after Ferris’ win of this year’s Anchor-Bone Classic, along with the annual trophy, and assumed control over the advancing titans. Eyewitness footage shows the bulldog leading the march across continental territories.

Governments around the world are declaring full states of emergency. Communication lines have gone dark in numerous states, and the national infrastructure is collapsing. Refugees are flooding into remaining inland areas, though officials warn there may soon be nowhere left untouched.

Military analysts estimate that, at their current pace, the titans will eradicate nearly all civilization beyond Big Rapids within weeks. Leaders of the world’s remaining forces are urgently seeking countermeasures, but experts acknowledge that conventional weapons are proving ineffective against the advancing army of giants.

Analysts describe the event as apocalyptic — one that may mark the end of modern civilization.

This is a developing story. Further updates will be broadcast as long as transmissions remain possible.

Until then, stay indoors, stay alert… and hope The Rumbling never reaches you.
