Your eyes are a bottomless void. Your pupils swim in your ocean irises. They strain trying not drown in the back of your head, a black hole with no return. What you've seen I wonder what.
Inferno, flames engulfing your city to ashes. No escape! One road which drove past a war between wood and the beast. 30 minutes! Run! Faster!
Your friends, your family will be gone in the blink of an eye. The wall of fire, pushing you back but also dragging you in. That drive from one end of the town you call "a hell hole" burning to a crisp. Apocolypse. No wifi, no warning. Screaming sirens. Screeching alarm over the community radio station.
"This is not a drill" this is the end.
You feel the forces from below toast your skin, tomato red. It's over. The smoke above your car roof, you see nothing. 90,000 people, 30 minutes, one road. You know you'll never see any of this ever again. Your hometown, never was. You'll never see your friends again. You'll never be happy ever again. When you get to safety, you swallow the internet, it burns going down. Your shake all over. You know you burned as well.
