After the Fall

I am part of a group of American soldiers after the war to end all wars. We are inside a large budding that still stands but everything is chaos coveted in dist. 

We are  fantasizing about selling a tank to someone and what we would do with the cash. They would inquire about security and we would day just come and get it. 

A small group of us is outside in the dark when am open keep with two people in it drive down the narrow street. We are desperately trying to find shelter but the buildings are abandoned but intact. There is no where to hide. I tell them to stay together or we will never finding each other again. 

The two men in the jeep stop, get out carrying a stuffed overnight envelope. A rumor circulates they are trying to deliver a plan to reorganize the world. It is obvious it is too late and their is no place and no-one to deliver it to  Suddenly I realize I am a soldier, on duty and have nothing to fear. I step out of the shadows and say...how can I help you.

I wake energized and hopeful.

Notes: I consider rolling over and going back to sleep thinking my memory is so clear I will journal it later. Instead, I make this entry immediately.
