The Thing from the Thurston Avenue Bridge

In the wilds of upstate New York, tens of thousands of college students go about their daily lives.  These students attend the institution known as Cornell University, and little do they know the danger that lurks right around the next corner.

It is waiting for the right moment to strike.  It grows in size with every passing moment, increasing in strength until its time arrives.  And when that time comes, every student on campus will know it, and fear for their lives.

They walk past it unknowingly, every day on their way to class.  Some may even notice it, but none know the danger that it hides.

It has come before, and those who have survived it can only say that it is dense, about 917 kilograms per meter cubed.  And cold, cold as ice.

It is a giant icicle.
