Tall mute dirty gray concrete giants stand menacingly on hot sandy ground, surrounded by countless ever-intertwining narrow streets & pathways. It's their valley of stifling heat, their homelands. As each one of them lets out its heavy breath, several dozens of light specks appear on the horizon, seemingly out of nowhere. The lights fly towards the herd of giants, accelerating swiftly.

The giants remain indifferent watching their newfound friends get closer and closer to them. Moments later, the collisions become imminent & yet none of them seem to care. The first giant to be hit by its blindingly shining visitor from afar appears to be a hospital.

The heat is excruciating. Deafening explosion echoes through the town's streets, followed by dissonant symphonies of shattering glass and falling rubble, accompanied by air-raid sirens. One by one the lights collide with more of the giants, leaving none untouched.

The giants bleed and groan in unison following some strange rhythmic pattern. Debris flies into the air. The leftover glass begins to melt and cracks begin to move through the giants' bodies, marking the point of no return.
