It was not natural this deep redness of the sun
creating the appearance of a Mars surface
that made everything an alien landscape
streaks of white trails added to the image
none of those witnessing this daunting sight

could feel relaxed it was not natural light!
Within their throats a bitter gritty sensation
made them choke and gasp for breathable air
winged specters emerged adding to the terror
coming through portals in the unnatural clouds
thousands like a swarm of locusts now hung
waiting an order for an attack to be sprung!
It should have been dark as it was late autumn!
A substance on the ground began to blow hard
growing thicker large creatures broke out
people scattered falling as many were plucked
screaming taken up as Winged Beasts dropped
spewing flames burning the fleeing masses flesh
was it an invasion from hell this bloody mess?
He sat up shouting jumping out of bed at speed
just as his mum came running into his bedroom
not another Nightmare son she stood by the door
yes shaking why do I keep having this dream
rattled said its the same one what does it mean
such a horrible things of which I have never seen!
Mum smiled maybe you are getting far to excited
about your part in the school play on Halloween
he was sixteen but still treated as a ten-year old
just helping back stage that’s not the problem
calmed down soon on his bike heading to school
on edge bad dreams never had them as a rule!
It was a full run through everybody was excited
the play was to take place after classes finished
as he headed to school noticed the sun was red
arriving the other kids laughed thought it cool
what he had seen was more than a nightmare
whatever was coming he too would share!
It went well a happy moment that could not last
as they left he knew what to expect as many ran
there was a shimmering red glow a rumble grew
devastated as in his dream the skies became alive
a scene that had almost scrambled his young mind
unknown forces upon the earth were now aligned!
Just wanted to get home his mum must be petrified
what he had feared was coming to pass before him
as the end of his nightmare would now be clarified
the rout intensified was this to be mankind’s destiny
a loud knock broke his concentration from writing
annoyed being disturbed his book getting exciting!
Dinner’s ready Dan better not be long or the dog will eat it!
