The helicopter turned and fired a rocket.
The rocket rocketed and swerved through the air, then struck a tank.
The tank burned and ejected many flaming victims, some of whom succumbed to the fire.
The victims crawled and included a torsoless girl who tottered on her hands.
The girl cried and clutched an ancient secret book of geometry.
The book rested and mouldered in a dripping cave for a thousand years.
The cave yawned and anticipated the arrival of more survivors.
