SF Drabble #500 "Up On Old Round Top"

Billy reached into the cooler, fished around in the ice, careful not to lean too far in the rickety lawn chair. “I think there’s only one left.” He pulled out a beer, one of the cheaper ones: they’d drunk the primo stuff first.

“Want me to go on a run?”

The ground trembled, and they looked down into the city to see an immense dust cloud rising where a building had just fallen. The distant Kaiju roared, arms swinging wildly, as if angry it could not destroy the building twice.

“Pretty sure they'd have closed when the sirens went off.”
