The beginning of the nuclear apocolypse...
It was a normal day in Afghanistan. I only had about a month left in my tour before I went home. I woke up at 0600 hours and got terrible news. A nuclear war had broken out. With in hours Iraq war completely nuked. Not soon after other countries began to jump in and chaos had started. "Holy fuck the world is going to end!," yelled someone. "We are all fucked!." "There's no fucking way. This can't be real!." The whole base was in a panic. The panic was stopped when a helicopter flew in. We rushed over to see who it was. It was General Johnson. A fucking general! I thought. This is some serious shit. We saluted and he began to speak. "Today, the world has began a plunge into darkness. The state of the people and planet is unstable. We are going to do our best to get you all home before the situation gets worse. Thank you for your service and good luck." Panic began again as we didn't know what was going to happen. "When will I go home?" "I have family!" "I have a wife and two children!" People were yelling everywhere. I ran away from the group to go think. "What the fuck!!!," I yelled. "Why the fuck did this happen!!!!" I stayed away from everyone for the day and just thought. I needed to find away home to see my family. At night, I went and found Brayden. "We need to find a way out of here," I said. "Already ahead of you," he said. "Im friends with a stealth chopper pilot. He said he could get me and a couple people out." "When can we leave?," I asked. "Four days," he replied. "He needs time to prepare." "Ok sounds good," I replied. I yawned "I'm tired." "Me too," he said yawning. "Let's go to sleep" "Sounds good," I replied. We made our beds, layed down, and went to sleep...
