Slab Quote by Jonathan Kellerman
““The slab rocked hard, stopped, then began rotating, very slowly. Barely making a full arc before continuing until it was perpendicular with the floor. It came to a halt, shaking the floor. I tried to move it; locked into place. Rectangular opening, four feet by two. Dark, but””
