Tucked in the peaceful confines of landscapes of bliss, tranquility and relaxation, Germans are rudely being awakened, jolted and shocked by a most disturbing creature, place of origin unknown.
Consider the family of four who had packed their clothes, coolers topped with beer and two, teenage kids, each a boy, about twelve or thirteen years of age, who decided to escape from the city life for a three day weekend. All scenarios played out with the usual expectations as they had numerous experience before when they made the same journey, in pursuit of fresh air, rolling landscapes and anywhere a cell phone couldn't reach them.
All things seemed as it had always been. Their car pushed into the sharp turns of a climbing hillside, screeching the tires once in a while. The boys were soundly asleep with dreams of God knows what, but since one of the boys developed some spittle dripping from the shadow of his lips, one might guess their thoughts were of enjoyment and pleasure not yet experienced.
Ellen, the wife, too was in a intense slumber, probably caused by the jarring white noise of the car engine surging itself up yet another grueling hill.
It is only thanks to the inconspicuously placed camera, ironically perfectly positioned to capture what no one in their right mind could have predicted. Perhaps, a fluke being the same day was being introduced to the general public. What was clearly meant to be a commercial representing a peaceful setting was unfortunately thrust into the soon to be legendary , perhaps one hundred and eighty degrees in the reverse direction of all plans, rehearsals, and run-throughs.
Not a single soul could have planned it, and unless there was a video camera at a distance to capture the bigger picture, the good people of Germany may not be pacing frantically, losing sleep and up at all hours completely perplexed and stunned by what was filmed. Although there is video evidence, to date, German authorities have kept silent about what happened that day. Perhaps to cover it up, or act like it never was captured on film, but one thing is for certain, the rest of the world will never be the same again. The invasion is starting.
