Spy Drones Up In The Air

I saw them, there in the field, flying something up in the air. What was it, I thought to myself. What could it be. I needed answers, and fast. I wondered why I wasn't warned about this new threat to my independent existence.
From where I was hiding I could see that they were wearing military fatigues, but there were no markings on their uniforms. I worried, were they American soldiers, or foreign soldiers? Were they here to help me, or here to hurt me? I could sense that their presence could cause the remaining people in this area to, more than likely panic, so I made a decision to try to find out, who they were, and why they were flying a strange looking aerial device, in the air, above our heads.
Moving slowly and quietly, I made my way back to my home. Staying low to the ground, and hiding beneath and behind anything, which would help to hide the fact, that I was on the outside, instead of on the inside.
The thing flying around, was sounding kind of like one of those toy flying airplanes, that grown men use to put together, and fly in a park, back when people were aloud to freely be outside, before the many disasters took over our earth.
After what seemed to be an eternity, I finally made it back inside my home, without being detected.
I immediately got the server turned on, and was lucky enough to find my friend online. I informed him of the soldiers, and that they were flying some kind of weird looking device, with a remote control. He sent me a pic, and asked me if it looked like that, and I said no, it didn't look like a tiny plane, it looked more like a round R2D2 shape, or more like a rocket pack compulsion thingy, with wire looking things, dangling on the bottom of it. He then sent me another pic, and I told him that was it. He then told me to be very quiet, and to shut down the server immediately, just because it isn't very quiet. I asked him what is was, and why they were here, and he told me that it was a military spy drone, and that they were doing a massive search for any remaining man or woman, who were still living in that area. He then added, 'Don't let them find you, you know what to do.' I responded, 'Yes I do.'
I then shut down the server, and camouflaged it. I then grabbed a previously made bottled water, and a couple of containers of survival food, which had already been prepared ahead of time. Non perishables of course. I had also made a hiding space behind my storage boxes, which looked absolutely normal, when you looked directly at them, as you enter my home, and looks can be very deceiving, thank goodness. I made it large enough, but not too large, so that if needed, I could have room to sleep, just in case I had to stay hidden for a prolonged amount of time, which might end up being the case tonight.
With that thought, I then crawled back out, and grabbed another bottled water. I wasn't worried about needing to go to the bathroom, while I was hiding, because I had also prepared an emergency toilet, for times like this. I also keep a tiny flash light and extra batteries back there, so that I will be able to read or write things, in order to pass the time, and to keep me from getting bored, while I need to hide out. I also have a make shift bed, consisting of foam and 3 thick comforters.
After grabbing the second bottled water, I crawled back into my hiding place, and I waited. Making no sound, hoping not to be found.
Until next time, if there is a next time, 'Keep on keeping on, to the best of your ability. We will win this thing, in the end.'

After The Storm Clears

Who can say where we will be tomorrow, when today has no purpose. The grayish dark blue skies trick us into thinking that time is standing still, never moving, never changing.
I have been wondering, when the love of my life, will return from his duties, to be with me again. I know that what he is doing is dangerous, and that is why we can't be together now. He is my pillar of strength, and I must stay vigil, while we are living apart, during the aftermath of the destruction, which happened because of several lies to the people, which then triggered civil unrest, and then the wars started, within the country. Not to mention the many, out of the ordinary, natural disasters, which were happening almost one right after the other.
The banks all collapsed, one after another. People were running scared, with their money, not knowing where to safely put it. The government had become a joke, with all of their bail outs going to the wrong places, instead of to the people, who are considered to be the working class, or should I be, so bold and say, the slave working class.
Now there are no more paychecks, no more money, the stores have all been looted, very little resources left for the once middle class people, who are now considered to be poor bastards, like the rest of us low wage earners. It turns out that the only jobs left are government jobs, which most of us refuse to work at, because like I said before, the government had become a joke.
I am one of the lucky ones, who have ties with someone, who has access to supplies. I ration myself, like it will be my last meal, because no one knows, when the supplies, will suddenly run out.
I remember, before everything went black, and how the weather was changing for the worse, meaning that the summers were becoming hotter each year, and the winters were becoming colder each year. The reality finally hit people, who lived in south Florida, when in January of 2010, there was a cold snap, which lasted almost 2 weeks. No one was prepared to handle more than 2 days, let alone 2 weeks of brutal cold temperatures, for an already warm acclimatized person. One year after that cold snap, it actually did snow in south Florida.
As of now, it hasn't rained in at least 6 months. It is dry like a desert, thankfully the wind is still. I was never a sun worshiper, but I am glad that some of its light is finally starting to shine through the darkness, but with that said, no one knows how dangerous it will be to someone, who walks around outside during the day? night? who knows. I am hoping that someone will soon come up with some way to measure the time of day, so that I won't need to keep making guesses, when it comes to, what time of the day it might be.
Okay, I must stop writing for now because I am feeling tired again. I am not sure if I am feeling tired more often, just because I am becoming more bored with the way life is now, or if I am coming down with some kind of cold/ flu. Who knows, time will tell. Until next time ...May Peaceful Thoughts Be With You Even During Times Of Extreme Stress.
