Happy
Wednesday everyone, I want to take a second and say thanks to everyone who's
been reading this blog, and to those who are now checking out the work on
Wattpad. I'm truly humbled by what I've seen and I can't thank you enough. Now
let's get onto picture number 2 this week. Note: Before you read today's piece,
check out "Pyramids Through Time" that you can find here.
Wars
Across The Desert
The
door opened,
Blinding
me with the light,
And
a voice began to call to me,
"You've
come,
Into
a world,
Where
war is the common place,
Everywhere
you look,
You'll
see the destruction,
Of
those who are in charge,
They
felt that this land,
Was
theirs,
To
ruin,
War
is all they know,"
The
land that stretched out in front of me,
It
was desert for as far as I could see,
Gun
shots rang out,
But
I never heard,
Or
saw any men,
I
walked slowly,
And
the sand crumbled under my feet,
As
I topped the first hill,
I
saw it,
The
cause of all the destruction,
It
was 20 feet tall,
Rolling,
And
firing,
On
anything that moved,
There
were thousands of machines at it's feet,
They
were attempting to fire on it,
And
bring it down,
What
was left in their wake,
Was
mass destruction,
As
I stared on what used to be a town,
Now
left in ruins,
I
couldn't believe what it was that I was seeing,
I
slowly walked down the hill,
And
it was here that I found my first real person,
Hunkered
down,
And
hiding,
"Hello."
I
called to him,
He
jumped,
And
yelped,
But
turned to look at me,
"Ye...Yes?"
He
asked,
"What's
going on here?"
I
asked him.
"This
is the Goliath War,
Do
you know where you are?"
I
shook my head,
"This
is what used to be New York City,
Years
ago.
"What
happened to it?"
He
looked around,
And
then back to me,
"They
came,
We
weren't ready,
And
they destroyed everything,"
I
was looking at the direction he was pointing,
And
I saw the machine on the other end,
"We
fought back,
But
it was useless,
They
destroyed cities,
Countries,
And
eventually were able to corrupt,
The
earth's balance,
And
now everything has turned to ash,
The
oceans,
Are
gone,
Cities,
Gone,
The
world as a whole,
Is
gone,
What's
left are the few that were able to adapt,
And
these,
These
monsters,
That
was almost 100 years ago,
We've
managed to adapt even better,
And
rebuild,
Slightly,
But
that's still no match for these things,
We've
attempted to do something,
But
nothing seemed to work,"
I
shifted my focus to the battlefield,
And
in that moment,
Something
came over me,
I
picked up the abandoned gun by the man's side,
And
I ran,
I
ran as fast as I could toward the trouble,
I
didn't know what I was doing,
Or
why I was doing it,
But
I ran,
I
crossed the threshold of the battlefield,
And
in that moment,
I
realized that this situation,
Was
all too real,
(To
Be Continued...)
About
The Piece
When
I first pictured "War Of The Desert" I wasn't sure how I could fit it
into what I was going to do and where I was going to go. The first piece to the
puzzle set up a unique chance to go anywhere I wanted but with the picture I
thought that this direction was the best. Be sure to check back Friday for the
final piece to this week's trilogy.
