Malevolent Mental Maelstrom

Fiendish and gruesome phantasmagoric denizens reigned horns of a dilemma blitzen deer      dwelt deep inside subterranean vault perform an evil dance haunt psychic landscape with imaginary (yet realistic) vixen      gargoyle visitations that cast macabre trance nocturnal unconscious invaders cavort and gallivant      disturb donnor party quiescent sleep with devilish and sinister prance.   Apparitions crept stealthily into peaceful slumber receptacle      repository whence illusory landscape of dreams      take place to rejuvenate exhausted body, mind and spirit triage       rent asunder blissful sleep with startled fright cold sweat drenched nighttime garments and bedding      teeth chattered uncontrollably      heart pounded loudly inside chest      nightmarish phantoms wrought an awful ghoulish sight.   Mushroom cloud anniversary triggered frenzied gargantuan hallucination      seventy two plus years ago today inauguration into atomic age took place one country after another sought to acquire demonic and destruction devices      maintain self-preservation in surreal atomic weapons race impossible to escape the dark threat heir hilly looms and threatens life on Earth      one launched missile spells extermination across entire global space.   No escape from humankind military machines     munitions march mean madness and guaranteed demise to all life *****Sapiens violent history of bias, intolerance and/or prejudice      characterizes vicious warfare and chronic species strife unaffordable legacy for future (and perhaps alien) archeologists      who will sift thru civilization debris with delicate knife.   Artifacts buried in a heap of pulverized and radioactive ash civilization monuments and hedonistic symbols gone in a blinding brilliant flash irksome flotsam and jetsam spewed into outer space      alien nations light years distant collect miniscule bits and pieces      offer object lesson as extinction for beings become excessively brash.
