The known unknown
Part 2

My eyes blood shot ,my veins reaching its elastic limit ,my muscles hitting critical mass...
I let out a whale,so intense ,so loud, that Mother Earth knew a son was in pain ,but her heart was turned against me,her face veiled from sight,she kept mute while my every organ of life and sanity failed me...
I stayed under the heavy fire of bullet storm,and the raging demon of fire and heat,holding the body of this little girl,I saw hell before me ,an Abyss of eternal pain knocked at my door,and I had no way to protect myself from its entry to my heart.

At this point,I was locked in a limbo of pain,anger,and vengeance over my sorrowful heart,hopeless grief, and eminent self destruction ..
I finally opened my eyes back to reality ,to the shine of the sun upon the Picasso on the streets,painted with the different shades of blood ,I was starting to drift back from the spike of my sorrow induced high,and I lifted my eyes to the hill one more time, and I cut a glimpse of the unknown,the mist behind the fog,the firing pin behind the bullet...
Men kitted like they are going to war with alien invaders began to march the street,with military formation so precise,you can't but help salute there choreography in synchronized movements

Could it be??
Is it so true that they have come to save us ??
Has help finally arrived ??

I stood up and walked on the water of flying bullets all over ,my eyes fixed upon the context of asking them just one question I could not get out of mind ..
Where have you been all this while ??

As I moved ever closer ,the commander asked me a direct question,where are they??
And I pointed to a house just down the alley and he gave a military signal for his men to enter the house ,before I could speak another word of any emotional attachment,gun fire was pounding inside the building,I was argag in horror,they opened fire upon defenseless men,women and children ...as I tried to run to take down the guy close to me ,I received  a hefty blow so intense ,that I thought  I was going to die,I fell flat like a tropical canopy tree, falling of the ledge of a plateau,the lights dimmed out like electrons losing there energy and releasing photons one last time...

I felt pain running on my face like a race track tire on a wet asphalt,I could hear little chatter, but could not get a hold of the words,then it started to clear ,my eyes received it's sight like a blind man blessed with light,still hazy,I felt a slight sharp pain at the back of my head,while I struggled to regain strength and composure ,I could not get up ,strength drained from me and I can't understand why am so weak,I finally gained some composure to get up,still in a confused state and looking for understanding in the ruins of the street,my eyes started to drown in its tears as I saw the leveled building that the survivors where hiding,what happened and how come am alive??

still making a sense of this strange and mindless act,I saw the bodies of the special oops that I just had confrontation with,all laying on the floor all dead,but no sign of any bullet hole on there body, or blood on them either..

what happened???
What's going on!??
How come am still alive??
What is standing in front of me that I can't see??

I wish I could have someone around to be confused with ,not to talk of answering my questions...
But here I stand alone ,with the bodies of men like the grasses ,endless and like a large lawn of bodies ,were the sons of men laying in their most dysfunctional state ,for the first time I wished I was dead,all men are afraid of death,but this time ,a man was afraid to stay alive,afraid to be a survivor.
"Dying  is a meal all men must partake off,but death does not serve all men the same dish "

What is going on?? Just as I thought it was getting weird and strange ,i began to hear little chatter , a strange but yet familiar sound,a little boy dying and crying with his last energy to survive,could it be,or am I losing my mind finally??
I began to trace the sound and I discovered a soldier's body laying over this little boy's body, in a position of protecting the boy from someone or something,I was able to pull the body away from the kid ,and he was just barely alive as he was suffocating from the heavy weight of the soldier, which was crushing  his thoracic cage ...

He rose up to hug me and with eyes permanently shut from ever wanting to see the light, then he let out a loud cry ,he sounded like he just saw a savior dressed in an outfit with an inscription saying, "behold ,the savior of the world " ..
but I was not even close, cause I was in need of a savior myself.
I could not help but ask ,how did he survive and how did I survive this ??
We walked through the pile of bodies,the rich,the poor,the old,the young,blacks,white,male and female alike ,all lying dead like a field of fallen trees after a tropical storm ....

Just as we got close to the center of the street ,something sounded like the hover blades of a chopper,but I did not see one,then the cold breeze like that of a ghost walking through you, which raised the hairs of my spine so upright,that i could use it to map a straight line across the earth,I knew danger is as close as the cloth on my skin ,I saw a large white figure,flying around and looking like a celestial being,looking for something really bad ,he looked miserable in his quest, and moving at lightning speed....

His humanoid figure looked at my direction,he saw me and the boy standing,it looked straight into me,before I could react to what my optic nerve was relaying to my occipital lobe,I found myself choking and suspended in mid air,and this being suspended  in front of me,with fear and annoyance,and like voice of a thousand men,he spoke with authorities of a hundred battalion ,and asked me one simple yet terrifying question..

Where is it !????
