I keep having nightmares... third night in a row. This time Annie had joined the
Navy. We were in
Hawaii, to see her off. April and her
family, Brian and Leori, lots of
friends. We were all in some bombed out kind of apartment building just waiting for the shit to go off...the sky was grey, and no one seemed to be able to get anywhere on time, meals were
haphazard and people were stressing. I went with Annie to check out her
ship, and the ship needed to deploy right then, with a crew of untrained kids, moms and stuff on board. The
captain sailed it though streets and beside
cane fields, wierd apartment buildings with doors high up on the walls, no way to reach them. Annie would not stop talking, and the captain said she had to shut up or they'd find us. She had an officer's uniform on. I kept trying to hug her, and shush her. I was forming plans to get her out of serving.
Bombs were dropping from planes,
waves of water rocking the ship, breaking over the bow. There were windows like on a bus, and we were seated near the front. I saw we were going to go off a cliff, water or no, it was going to be
bad.
I'm trying to get rid of this so I can get some more sleep....
