The Destruction of Estero Island
(FMB: Fort Myers Beach, Florida)
The Destruction of Estero Island
Hours before the eye of the storm
An unthinkable intrusion occurred
The frightening reality show on daylight TV
Those Final moments of FMB
Time to get out Disabled-Tik Tok Tiky
Screams expanding increasingly viral
No dry ground to hide from this monstrosity
Uninvited Invincible Aqualung
In the blink of a cruel belligerent eye
His velocity rivaling the speed of sound
The dream lives of thousands forever Gone
With the Wind.

TUS NUA - ch 49
TUS NUA – ch 49 New Beginnings – Mia and Midnight (*)(*)(*) As Mia spoke on the phone to Ali’s sister, Ellen, Finola slipped quietly away and walked to the stream behind Tus Nua. Carefully, she put a block on her family so no one could know what she was about to do.
