Nuclear Dream Escape

There's a reoccuring dream i have... where a bomb is dropped and no one realizes until it's too late. Normally, in that dream i've never been able to escape. As the flesh and bone melt down, i've normally woken up. This time, i found a way out.

A school building represents the scene. There are several characters that we must think about, the group of geeks, the mysterious nurse and her doctor accomplice, the "unaware" and a small child mastermind.

The school is having a festival, and the noise drowns out the sound of the drop. The rumble, the heat, even the explosion doesn't seem to wake people up. i turn to see the flames devour the unknowing, and i'm probably too close - but i have a new motivation to escape. Instead of going toward the chaos, i turn down the hallway and see a way out.

Normally, within minutes the radiation has a hold of me... but this time, i'm able to get outside and i keep running. My running was slowed, but this new freedom allows me abit of speed. I run all the way to the outskirts of town, knowing that's where the bomb cannot reach. This is where i find the strange nurse and she asks me to follow her.

Like a cut scene from a movie, i can see the other characters. The group of geeks just picked up the surveillance of the bomb and they are investigating now. A teacher is watching TV as he sees his three year old son playing with a large video game controller. No longer the cute little boy he always knew... but the little boy seemed to be carefully moving the buttons and as he flipped over the controller, there was a keyboard on the other side. He started talking about how he told the government all about his father and their plan. How it was time he did something. The young child used advanced vocabulary and his eyes were wild with madness.

The father and i went to his house where the child was sitting in his crib. The father looked on unbelievingly because the little one was crying. As he wiped the tears away, he smiled. "It was my first mistake... I was finally able to make my first mistake." Hearing that from someone so young, i decided that all hell was breaking loose and i'd better get out of there.

Now i was flashed back to the nurse. The police were looking to quarantine anyone that was in the vicinity of the bomb. The nurse and her accomplice were wearing their respective work clothes so we had to get them out because it looked as if they belonged to the school. She tried to tell an approaching police officer that they were from a different region, but they weren't believed. With a little disguising, we ran away again to try to find the geek team....

Fellings Free-write (for mature audiences)

too much work, constantly talking and unable to breathe. wish someone was there to rescueme. on a beach, in his arms, safe from the turmoil of everyday attitudees. traeveling to someplace far away, being together, being understood, being cared for, finally someone who cares back. it's been so long, too long to remember, someintone understands.... this is the most important thing.

not much to write about today, just the incrediclble feeling of being understood. having someone know me , having someone who wants to know more about me.

short but finished.
