Happenings In Stages

Hesitated pressing the publish button with this piece
of fiction, it came to me as a dream and I awoke with
parts of it still lingering on my mind. I commenced
writing and attempting to thread some sense to it all,
this is what I came up with.
Happenings in stages,
people standing still in
parks like statue cracked
faces silently controlled
by some unknown toxic
alien species they
grimace in pain.
Bodies falling to their death
tossed like rag dolls from an
angry child weeping in the sky
no one knows why
this is happening
can it be a freak of nature?
or are there spaces beyond
our comprehension
invading our world.
Bacteria aged and colorless
fills the air and blows towards
all humans to breathe and be
changed and stopped in their
tracks laying down their lives
in that moment of infection
nevermore to live
they are no longer perfection.
An event unknown to
mankind an airborne
virus released to alter
the shape of human life
happening in stages
till death will finally
throw us to the lane
and back to dust from
whence we came.
Departed Bees before the end
time to flee like the bee
who left us four short early
years to die before
the plague came to earth
showing us the sign that
mans time has come to end
as the winds blow in
the invisible alien
dust telling us to kill
ourselves and others.
In panic we lose control amongst
the ruins and decay of our world
our earth our home we loved
grasping for any signs
to keep us pressing on for
life and any possible future
for our kind.
Faces show panic signs and are
lost like the wind
beating against the Sphinxes
of Egypt’s desert sands buried by
the storms that blew in like
a torrent of locusts hungry to
feed upon the spoils
we left behind.
The military is confused
in mass numbers driving wild
in their jeeps with guns pointed at
the unknown enemy trying to stop
the panic in the streets they fail to
keep the order as pistols are
drawn and fired upon each other.
Cities in turmoil as people
scatter not knowing where
to go for safety – afraid to find
death at their door yet so
many warning signs there were
before the violent evacuation
sent our world in panic as the
neurotoxin filled the air
blinding eyes and minds
of people in the millions.
How do we abandon those?
we love to flee ourselves
without bringing them
with us to safety no one must
be left behind to die alone
and be stricken with this awful
plague of death unmeasured
by man the Aztec calendars
message as foretold now fast
approaching for any
truth that we can find
as prelude to end times.
Mind control has taken us over and
alien forces rule our heads and lead
us to the brink of man’s insanity
and destruction while they
take over what’s left of our will
and send us to the slaughterhouse of
decomposing corpses one by one.
This Alien force bleeding every waking
minute as the humans slowly start to
disappear in numbers like grain blowing
from its shaft across the open fields
that lay in ruin we now ask where is God
who is God or are we all gods maybe
just maybe, the answers have come to
all of us as we take our last breathe on earth
and watch our last sunset go down
over our world, all happening in stages!

What a lovely dream Vincent, hardly warm and fuzzy.lol It wouldn’t take much to rid this planet of humanity, and maybe one day that will happen, for all our disrespect and arrogance. Whether by alien force of nature itself, we have a lot to answer for. Lets hope its just a dream and precognition. Nicely penned as always my friend. Cheers!
I truly hope so my friend. Although premonitions are often sent for a reason, whether in a dream or through an object used to see into the future. I too hope this dream remains a dream, but it was so vivid in my head, I woke up disturbed over it. I got up and stayed up still thinking of it. Thank you Tony for your comments. Cheers
Portrait of a devastating end to humanity and very well penned, Vincent. It is not how I see the end of our world, but, an airborne virus as you saw is certainly possible. I do see aliens as a force of help due to their concern for the human race. Profound dream, Vincent, and very chilling.
Phyllis I hope the way you see the end of the world is more of a possibility, although with chemical warfare out there and maniacs walking our streets, all it would take is for them to release an airborne virus that can cause this mass killing field. I truly hope when and if aliens should appear, they come to help the world and protect her. Thank you for your thoughts my friend.
Loved it my Canadian friend. I have also had dreams such as this, but have never put them to a pen. Maybe now I will.
I would like to read them should you place yours to pen Kurt. We all have bad dreams from time to time, this one woke me up scared and that rarely happens. I hope it’s not a warning of what’s to come.
Wow, Vincent…some dream. Did you wake up in a cold sweat? Very apocalyptic, but indeed worryingly possible. Like Phyllis, I too hope that any alien life forms may, in fact, be friendly and help us save our world if necessary. Expertly written, as always.
Not a cold sweat, although my heart was beating faster and I felt very disturbed, had to quickly put the coffee pot on to hopefully help shake the feeling off. I am for friendly Aliens coming to our assistance with our disturbing world, hopefully they can help prevent such a devastating way to end our days here on earth by the releasing of a deadly virus upon us all. Thank you John for your thoughts on this piece.
