THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

PERIMETER PLATENS,MORE FICTION,IT'S COMFORTING,NE?
THE CRAFTS OF MERAK'S PANDEMIC CLEANSING ROARED THROUGH THE SKIES FOR DAYS,DESTRUCTION,UNSTOPPABLE,AND SURGICALLY EXECUTED HAD LEFT NO STONE UNTURNED,I HAD NO IDEA OF WHAT WAS LEFT,OR WHAT TO DO.
I MADE A DECISION,I WOULD GO SOUTH,MY MOTORCYCLE WOULD BE THE ONLY VEHICLE TO BE ABLE TO WEAVE THROUGH THE WRECKED INFRASTRUCTURE.
THE POWERFUL FORCES THAT ACCOMPANIED THE ALIEN CRAFT WAS INTERFERING WITH THE ELECTRONICS OF MODERN VEHICLES,MY 59 PAN WITH IT'S SIMPLE SPARK AT THE RIGHT TIME IGNITION WAS THE THE ONLY OPTION.
I LOADED HER UP WITH NEEDS AND SLOWLY MADE MY WAY,DESTRUCTION WAS EVERYWHERE, ALONG WITH LARGE BLAST HOLES IN THE HIGHWAYS SURFACE.I TOOK THE I-75 THROUGH THE HEART OF MICHIGAN,I DIDN'T ENCOUNTER ONE OTHER HUMAN,YET THE WILDLIFE WAS ALL STILL GOING ABOUT AS NORMAL,PORCUPINES,DEER ,AND BALD EAGLES,WERE NOW OUT TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE STILLNESS,MY MOTOR AND THE ROAR OF PASSING ALIEN CRAFT THE ONLY UNNATURAL SOUNDS.
DAY'S PASSED,JUST TO REACH THE DETROIT AREA,I WOULD HEAD TO A LEVEL WHERE I COULD SURVIVE THE WINTER,THIS WAS THE ATTRACTION OF MY VOYAGE,TO GO AS FAR SOUTH AS I CAN,SO THAT I COULD LIVE WITH LESS NEEDS.
AT DAYTON OHIO I TOOK I-70 WEST,I JUST WANTED TO SEE KANSAS,MAYBE THE AMERICAN HEARTLAND WOULD BE LIVABLE.
DAY'S PASSED, I AVOIDED LARGE CITIES,AND WEAVED AROUND WRECKAGE ,AND CARNAGE,THE ONLY SIGNS OF LIFE ,THE ANIMALS AND THE ROAR OF ALIEN CRAFT THROUGH THE SKIES.
I ATE AT FREE LEFTOVERS FROM GAS STATIONS AND RESTAURANTS LEFT EMPTY FROM THEIR DEPARTED OWNERS.
I BYPASSED KANSAS CITY AND ALL OTHER LARGER CITIES,THE I-70 WAS MORE INTACT OUT IN THE CENTER OF THE STATE.
I STOPPED ON AN OFF RAMP TO LOOK AT MY MAP,I WAS NEARING A CITY CALLED HAYS,TO MY RIGHT WAS AN OLD LONG ABANDONED FARM HOUSE SITTING UP A LONG WIRE FENCED DRIVEWAY UP ON A HILLOCK ,AN EERIE REMNANT OF MIDWEST LIFE BEFORE MASS FARMING.
THE RICKETY BUILDING ATTRACTED ME,I DROVE UP THE DUSTY DRIVE WAY AND PARKED IN FRONT,THE PORCH SAGGED AND THE WOODEN SCREEN DOOR MOVED AND SQUEAKED FROM THE MOVEMENT OF THE DRY HOT AIR.THERE WAS A FLOW OF WATER COMING FROM BEHIND THE BUILDING
I FOLLOWED IT TO THE BACK,IT'S SOURCE A HAND PUMP THAT GAVE THE OBVIOUSLY RAISED WATER TABLE AN OUTLET,I TASTED IT, IT WAS COOL AND SWEET,I COULD LIVE HERE I THOUGHT,IS THIS MY DESTINY,MY SOUL LIKED THE SETTING.
I WENT BACK TO THE FRONT PORCH,I SAT IN IT'S SHADE AND DRIFTED TO SLEEP.
I MUST HAVE SLEPT FOR SOME TIME,BECAUSE IT WAS MORNING,AND I WAS AWAKENED BY THE ROAR OF AN ALIEN CRAFT,IT WAS HOVERING OVER THE FRONT YARD,THIS VESSEL WAS DIFFERENT,IT BRISTLED WITH PROTRUSIONS,IT SLOWLY LOWERED ITSELF ONTO THE FIELD OUT FRONT.
VORTEXES APPEARED IN THE AIR IN FRONT OF THE PORCH,FROM THEM FOUR ENTITIES EMERGED,IT WAS MERAK AND TWO OTHERS,ALSO A LARGER AND DIFFERENT ENTITY WAS WITH THEME.
MERAK WALKED UP TO ME,HE ASKED WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE FRONZ?
LOOKING I SAID.FOR WHAT HE ASKED?IT'S A LONG STORY I TOLD HIM,POSSIBLY PEACE AND QUITE?
COULD YOU DO US A LITTLE FAVOUR FRONZ?
WHAT,AFTER YOU DESTROY EVERYTHING YOU WANT ME TO HELP YOU?
WELL YOUR STILL ALIVE,AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING BIG.
OK LETS HEAR IT,I SAID.
WITH THAT HE MOTIONED TO ONE OF HIS MEN.
THIS OPERATIVE THEN HELD WHAT LOOKED LIKE A CLEAR PLASTIC TABLET IN FRONT OF ME,A PICTURE OF THE PYRAMIDS DISPLAYED ITSELF ON IT,THE PYRAMIDS I SAID,YES MERAK SAID,AND THIS ?A PICTURE OF THE VATICAN DISPLAYED ITSELF,THE VATICAN I SAID,YES HE REPEATED,AND THIS?A PICTURE OF MECCA DISPLAYED,MECCA I SAID,AND THIS HE SAID?
A PICTURE OF THE TWIN TOWERS OF THE WORLD TRADE CENTER APPEARED,YOU'VE BEEN WATCHING US,THOSE BUILDINGS NO LONGER EXIST,YES HE SAID WHY ARE THEY NOT THERE FRONZ?
I HUNG MY HEAD ,THE WRONG REPLY SEEMED WHAT COULD CHANGE THE COURSE OF EVENTS,WELL FRONZ WHERE ARE THEY?
UM I AH,CAN'T GIVE YOU A COMPLETE EXPLANATION,BUT THAT HUMANITIES DIVERSE VIEW TOWARDS EXISTENCE CAUSES SOME OCCURRENCES THAT ARE NOT IN PLACE WITH NORMAL BEHAVIOR.
YOU MEAN YOU ALL SUCK FRONZ?WELL THE SYSTEM IS MUCH LARGER THAN THE POPULACE,AND WE DON'T ALL SUCK.
IS THAT HOW YOU JUSTIFY WHAT YOUV DONE HERE? YES FRONZ,WE DON'T NEED YOUR TINY PLANET,THERE IS NOTHING HEAR FOR US,WE ARE CLEANING UP,THATS ALL.
AND YOU LET ONLY THE FOOLS SURVIVE?NO YOUR THE ONLY ONE,BUT THERE ARE OTHERS ALIVE,NOW YOU CAN RESTRUCTURE,AND LEAVE BEHIND EXCUSES FOR HATE AND GREED.
I'M NOT GOING TO INVOLVE MYSELF IN RESTRUCTURING OF ANYTHING ,YOU MITE AS WELL HAVE DESTROYED EVERYONE.
THAT IS WHERE THE FOOL COMES INTO PLAY HE SAID,SO YOU DESTROY HUMANITY SO THAT IT BOWS TO THE ONES THEY DEEM TO BE INCREDIBLE?EXACTLY.YOU KNOW FRONZ,AS WELL AS WE DO,THAT IT'S ALL IN YOU?
YOUR THE ONE THAT THE GIRL IS SEEKING SO THAT SHE CAN RETURN HERE.HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT STORY?I LIKE YOUR OLD MOVIES ,HE LAUGHED.
GOODBYE FRONZ,BY I SAID,OH YEA,ALSO FRONZ,IF THE BAND YOUR IN STARTS PLAYING DIFFERENT TUNES,I CAN SEE YOU ON THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON.HE EVEN RECITES FLOYD I MUMBLED.GOODBYE I SAID.AND I TURNED MY HEAD AWAY WRINGING MY HANDS FOR THE TASK THAT LAY BEFORE ME.GOODBYE.TATWOGF/DEC/19/08
