I was in a single wide trailer. It reminded me of the single wide that I lived in when I was in College. I was standing up in the trailer talking to Liz about something when I looked out the window on my right and I saw some airplanes in the distance.. I kept on talking and glanced back a moment later to notice that the planes were getting closer and behind the planes that I had first noticed were more planes...lots more planes.
The skies were cloudy and filled with airplanes to my right.
Liz was siting by a window on my left. I thought to myself, "This is strange...I need to mention all these planes to Liz" As I turned and looked at Liz I noticed over her shoulder were hundreds of planes, all different kinds, flying towards us. I quickly looked back to my left, the planes were almost directly over the trailer and then to my right and it was the same thing. I blurted out in a scared voice, "I hate to be the bearer of bad news but..." The thought occured to me that I had not said the right thing because my comment seemed to casual for the seriousness of the situation but before I could say anything else the bombs began to drop and the trailer began to shake. I stood in the middle of the trailer with me hands spread out in both directions and didn't know what to do. I thought, "Should I get out of the trailer?" "Should I stay in the trailer?" I didn't move I just looked at Liz...then I woke up.
Go Back
