Inescapable Nightmare

Worst Nightmare Contest Winner 

I was dreaming of bullets that zipped past my head. I was dreaming of fire and stench of the dead. I was dreaming of killing for staying alive. I was dreaming of murder so I could survive. I dreamt of the children that blew themselves up. I dreamt how their fathers could be so corrupt. I dreamt of my comrades losing their limbs, and the ones who were captured, tortured and skinned. I dreamt of the bombings that killed our own men. I dreamt of the horror when it happened again. I dreamt of the choppers that fell from the sky. I dreamt of the screaming while watching them die. I dreamt of the faces as boys wept to men. I dreamt I'd not see my dear wife again. I dreamt that my baby might not know my eyes. I dreamt if she asked, would I tell her lies? I dreamt of the hatred I had for mankind. I dreamt of a God that left us behind. I dreamt of a hell as death mocked our fates. I dreamt there's no mercy where the devil awaits. I dreamt of the bodies that lie at my feet, with nowhere to run nor chance to retreat. I dreamt of a nightmare that shocked me awake. I dream of a war... I'll never escape.
