Artificial sunrise

Pouring some sparkling water into my vodka.
Just enough to carbonate the drink. I was. On my sixth one of the afternoon. Nothing else that mattered and nothing else to do except to sit and drink under a sunny North Dakota sky. Drink Util I was intoxicated enough to forget what I had done.

6 hours ago I was sitting in the capsule. Then beaming into our message center:

EAM hotel India 6 India Romeo Foxtrot Whisky

Entranced my partner and I stared at our keys
6 hostile inbound missiles
Immediate response full wing.

We turn our keys and the missiles burn their way into space only to renter over their target.
A day full of artificial sunrises all over the earth

My partner. Suzy Garza Code named Camel. A named she earned when her flight suits where a little too tight in school.
She shot herself. Knowing her family was vaporized. I can still see the mushroom cloud over the town where we lived.

I need more vodka
