     It was a Tuesday when the first foot appeared. It came down down on New York while I was doing volunteer work in a government funded relief program. The foot came down, crushed skyscrapers under its gigantic sole. Who knows how many blocks of the city just disappeared that day. All I know is that a massive cloud of dust, debris and screams blew over us just seconds after. Followed by a flood that sank New York altogether.
     Day after day, more of these feet appeared all around the world, falling from the sky and crushing cities. I would look up to try and see where these are coming from but the legs and bent knees would only rise into the gloomy grey sky up to a point where my bare, unaided eyes can't see anymore. Whatever this monstorus "creature" is, it would be massive and disproportionate in every way to be able to cover the entire planet.
     A bunch of our elderly Jewish volunteers called them, "Etsba," which in Hebrew means, The Finger of God. If these are indeed the fingers of God, what have we done that He needs to show His might?
