...from the dark corners of my mind...

My brother and I are watching some show on TV when an emergency broadcast announcement comes on. At first, I change the channel, but quickly realize that the emergency announcement is on every channel. After muting the TV, we decide to flip a coin to determine whether to watch the announcement or turn off the TV. My brother pulls out a coin and says, “Heads; we watch TV, tails; we find something else to do.” The tosses the coin into the air and it lands on the desk and reveals “heads.” I pick up the remote and un-mute the TV.

There is a live broadcast from the White House stating that an intercontinental ballistic missile with a nuclear warhead is coming in from the West. They are showing a radar map which shows the geographical position of the missile as well as the expected strike area, which updates in real time. It appears to be heading directly toward Washington, DC. We watch the live video feed, anxiously awaiting interception by a defense missile. After speaking for a moment, the president and several people standing around him rush off the press stand and disappear through a door.

We watch the radar map as the missile descends through the atmosphere over the Midwest and strikes ground just southwest of DC. Shortly after the strike, the live video feed goes black. Moments later, the power flickers then goes out.

I look out the window and see a large dark cloud moving across the sky. After a few moments, the sky turns completely black and there are huge lightning strikes. Tornadoes, illuminated by the lightning, can be seen in the distance. As the lightning gets closer, huge rumbles of thunder shake the walls and rattle the windows. As I watch through the window, I can see the frontal edge of the shock wave approaching from the South. It appears as a ripple in the clouds as it moves across the land. As it passes by, I hear a loud thump followed some crackling sounds. Shortly after it passes, I wake up.
