Well,?urvived ?clear bomb.

O? least, I remember havin??ed one, although I certa? can'?lace where oen it might ???e happened b?se it seems to be happening right now. I'm hauling a nuke along with two other guys. We're in an isolated residential school in the woods on the??ts of a ?. We're ?ggling like hell, though, be?e th?ucke? ?y. We wantedget it into the larg?rium of the school, but we&#??uck ?he h?ay just ?ide the cafeteria, one o?r co??s screaming and ?ing up a storm b?se h?st doesn'?anna do it anymore. The othe?y sighs and ??uot;Fine, we'll ? blow the device right here."

I'?tle ?ous ?t being ??ame room?h th??hen it goes off. The oth?wo don&#? seem to mind so much, although ?'s not a?y good indication of? safety. Suddenly the ca? fel?ays to me, &?;Go down the hall, a?ake the ?d door on the left. It&#? a c?room?h a window in the far co?t there and watch for smoke. If you see any, that means the othe?ent off. Should ?en a?tle after six o'clock, just like this on?uot;
??ot;Okay," I?, and toddle off. I find the classroom, but ?e's a pair of ne??udents in there,?ing a late-n???ession. I nod and mo?ast carefull?ondering if ? know wh?he hell's going on. ? go back to ? they're doing as I reach the wi?, pa?he blinds, a?ut my ba?o co??t to it, sliding?n to?t on the floor. I scoff to myself a ?le -- th?y sa?o watch for smoke, but it's pitc?tside, n??o se??moke. Then m?es a?t, a?he n? bec? brighter, lit by a million ?????, and I catc? breath, it's beautiful.
?>It's al???. I wonder if I ?ld curl up, try ?rotect m?ine ??hing. I examine my m?ies.?eem to be remembering th?esen? though ?ere already ???be itthe ?re I'?emembering, and maybe I'll forge? whe? bec??, be?e I reme??ching the (a?) bomb go off. It&#? all thi?azy light an??s hot, a?here's a con?ion,?? some reason it's not so bad? me, I c?tand my ?nd a?quint through the light and when it's al?I'm still there,??ith a de? suntan.
?>So I sit there, remembering what's ?t to?pen and wondering if?houl?y to?e a ciga?e before the thing goes off when I check my watch and re??'s a?t six-th?, so I look ?ide through the window a??moke? off in the ?anceowin?ay -- I almost misse?, and, convinced tha? bomb was a dud,?tand up and sit down again in a cab ?'s coming to?top in a?king?age, the cabbie ??owing the thing into?k an?ening the door a?unning off, and I can see al? everyone else doing the same thing, so ? eventually the ? things I can see moving are emergen?esponse vehi?, coming?o the garage and?ing off into different directions on differe???> Jericho, e?iencing the ? from the perspe?es of bo?he f? who? off the bomb in Denver and the ?iving city f? who?erienced??ermath.

Once?eali?hat ? whole e?ienc? fake on a funda?al level, I wake up and have the spooky feeling I'm being watched.
