Dave: Big

"That's ... big."

"That's very big."

"Ginormous."

She rolled her eyes.  "Whatever."  Her head cocked.  "But slow."

"Anything that big," he said in a pedantic tone, "will seem to move slowly from a distance.  Like jets.  Or clouds."

"But that looks like slow motion."

"Still probably moving at hundreds of miles an hour."

"Huh.  I guess."

It grew dark. 

"Honey?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry."

"What for?"

"For -- well, everything I should be sorry for.  You know."

"No worries."  A pause.  "Sure is big."

"And moving faster."

The foot trod upon them, and most of the city, with a sound like the end of the world.
