Down the Rabbit Hole April 6

Sam Adams Goes Down the Rabbit Hole, NaNoPoMo Prompt

Sam Adams was having a bad night
He often would fall into a deep trouble sleep
Where his mind would go down deep

Into the proverbial rabbit holes
Exploring one dark nightmare 
After another.

He saw himself in Ukraine 
As a front line soldier
Watching the Russians 
Come in killing people
Left and right.

Saw the Russians line up 
And execute men
Raping women and children
Setting the victims on fire.

Then he was in the U.S.
When the nukes began to fall
All over the world
Armageddon on steroids.

Nuclear madness erupted
The Russians bombing NATO allies
The US, French and British firing back
Berlin, DC, London, Moscow became 
Nuclear graveyards.

China bombs Taiwan,
Then invades the island.
India and Pakistan trade nuclear attacks. 
Iran attacks Israel and Saudi as well.

North Korea invades the South
Nukes flying over Seoul
And Tokyo

Amid this total madness
Giant ships appear in the sky
And a full scale 
the alien invasion begins.
.
The terrified survivors 
flee the carnage
As nuclear winter 
settles on the land.

The invaders from the sky
End the war 
Enslaving most humans
That had survived.

Somehow Sam Adams and his wife
Were still alive
Living in a refugee camp
Deep in the mountains.

Fleeing the wild animals
The tigers, lions, and wolves
That were feasting on dead humans
And cattle everywhere.

The aliens following the humans
Looking for more to enslave.

The nuclear war though was over
The few remaining soldiers
Fighting against the common enemy,

Sam Adams woke up
Realizing that it was all 
Just a nightmare.

Turning on the TV
Watching the carnage in Ukraine
He wondered if his nightmare
Was it an omen of the future?
