Her beautiful face appeared for a flash only to once again dissolve. (a bit clunky)

In my desperation something caught my eye. The winking grin of the flask stared at me, begging to be drunk. Resistance is futile. It is my final connection with her, the only way to relive the joy I once had.

The starry sky was jagged and disconnected from the grass, a sharp difference from the last time. Stars bled from the sky like a thousand pale golden tears. Once again I could feel the life leave from my legs and I found myself moving without sensation. This time the sensation was remarkably different to last time. I felt myself swimming in the pool of the night sky, beating on against the

    Old dusty clothes draped over the old faded grey rickety chair, resting in the corner. The pitch black wallpaper ridiculed with silver spider webs obscuring the majority of the walls, with the windowed wall disintegrated from the events of the world. The single bed relaxes alone in the corner of this confined space.

The dark wooden bookcase, filled with torn, old half eaten storybooks, half rotting away infested with dark radiation enlarged bugs.…

    The more you watch the sun go past the horizon, the more anxiety fills you. The sun looked as if it was a molten coin burning a circle in the low-hanging overcast, surrounded by a fairy-ring of moisture.

Between each fence were a series of ditches and obstacles that could be used by a retreating party to block the road if there was a breach. A man on a tower at the outside ring called all clear before they were permitted to leave. The men manning the gate on the outside ring were jumpy and slammed the gate shut almost hitting the rear bumper on the last truck through.…
