I Dream Dreams That Are Questionable
It feels almost like I'm waking up. I'm blinking hard and looking around as the world comes into focus before me. The sky is pure galaxy. It's dark, but there are stars and nebulas, planets illuminating what must be the night. A planet looms overhead, larger than life, closer then it should ever be. Saturn. it has rings. I can hear panic and screaming in the background, I can see the silhouette of scurrying people running across the ground though the perspective is warped, as I can clearly see the curvature of the earth. I am wearing a hoodie and blue jeans, my hair is up. It's odd because I can see myself from behind and through my eyes some how simultaneously. He's there. I don't question it even though it's impossible. I'm to busy looking to the sky, watching the planet and knowing something bad is happening as the stretched shadows of running people create a strobe effect as they pass before my vision. All of a sudden the ground quakes. I hit the earth and so does he, we make eye contact as we prop up on our elbows and look at each other, bewildered, terrified. I clearly hear a woman yelling "They've done it, they've actually done it!". Confused I look around, but he grabs my arm and points to the sky. A missile is flying through the air, straight for saturn. It's chem trail gracefully arching begins to billow out in contrast to the void of space. We watch, frozen with terrified curiosity as the missile collides with the planet. There's another boom, not quite so earth shattering. The planet breaks into the pieces that drift from each other. The panicking, frenzied people around us are wailing. the sky begins to dim, the stars are disappearing before our eyes. I look over at him, his eyes are wide, glinting in the failing light.. They are the last thing I see before the darkness envelopes all and I wake up.
