Dream Within a Dream

Muttering under his breath he said, 'I guess I will try and carry you." The night drew a deathly calm, stillness filled the air. Not a siren blared, into the void, for all was not what it seemed. He knew, he would have to carry her because she had twisted her ankle. The army base was only a quarter mile they would know what happened. Why the lights went out in the surrounding area. He knew if he dragged his feet along the road, he would not stray off . He looked at the stars, finding his bearing and slowly carried her in his arms. He would find an answer to this darkness. Upon, reaching the base they find it deserted. They go in search of a generator, and come up empty. He would not leave her, in this dark empty pit. How could everything be this empty? Where would they go? What had they missed ,while out on the road. Panic set in for a moment, Imagination was playing with his mind. "Man oh man," he had seen one to many alien movies. "Now think, he said to himself," in the area they came across a jeep with keys He starts up the jeep and they take off, but, what direction should they go. Which way would be safe? He had a decision that could cost them, possibly their life. He decided to head to the nearest city. As he approaches, the city disappears before his eyes. This cannot be. What in the world was going on. He turned to speak and found no one beside him. He turned to look back , "BANG" He'd knocked the clock off his nightstand waking up realizing that it was all just a dream.
