Spiral Run Closing In On The Amherst Common

Word is, the Spiral Run has happened before, and it’ll happen many times over again. But, most importantly, it will be happening on May 12th, 2018. An octopus called Eddie announced this at the tail end of this year’s Collision Festival.

He proclaimed, “What a jolly display this was indeed! How serendipitous that vertebrates and invertebrates can reconcile their differences for a pearl of vigorous athleticism.”

“That is why I’d like to invite all of you lads, yes all of you, to a spiral run right here in Amherst, on this green! May 12th. Be there, lads, be here! Let’s catch some eyes.”

The crowd roared. Older attendees stood on one leg. Others caught on gradually.

On May 12th, a group of individuals will arrange themselves in a large circle around the Amherst Common. Cornelius Harrington will drum on his jembe while hanging by his feet upside-down in the center of it all. As he begins with slow rhythms, the outer circle of people will gradually circle in, matching his patient pace. But because of his being upside-down, blood will rush to his head and bring urgency to his drumming. The inward-spiralling populus will match this urgency, speeding up and up and up until they simultaneously crash into the center point. The rhythms will halt. There will be a pigpile of monumentous proportions on the town green.

It will be declared a tremendous success. Gradually, the pile will clear, and Cornelius will be nowhere to be found. By his mysterious ways, he will have transcended the singularity.
