A dust devil used the harvesters heat column and profile as a leverage
to gain strength,definition and mass; vacuumed up the dust that had
some how settled on the harvester, and took aim for Vogt. Stopped,
astonished, looked up the length of it, looked down the row, then looked
back where he had just came from; a conundrum, he walk as fast as he
could one way and it seemed as though the thing had changed course to
cut him off, he ran back the other way, slowed a bit to look over his
shoulder and the damn thing was shadowing him. In a perfect state
helplessness, he sat down and gave up, waiting for it to suck him up and
spit him out. Swirling, and scouring the ground as it approached, the
colossal dust devil danced around him in a primitive ceremonial ritual
preparing him as the sacrificial offering; he lay down on his stomach,
gripping the stalks on either side, digging his toes into the dirt
waiting for the end. The crashing sound moved over him and although he
fully expected to be flung up into the sky, he was only pelted with
dirt,chaff, and other debris. No torn limbs, just thoroughly
impregnated with grime. Sat up, and watched it dance off, doing what
only could be described as cross between the Hokey Pokey, and the Twist,
he even thought he heard a tune in the crashing wind.
