Journey


.....or back to TOC

the sky was turning yellow  from Fukushima
he was lost and alone.  he turned away from the horror and started runnuing,  yelling "Fukushima  Fukushima."  .  There were a few people here and there but no one he saw  was outwardly panicking...though some were choosing to stay indoors. The amount of verbal gibberish went up a notch.. and still no sirens were going off..  a light,  yellow rain started to fall...He'd never seen anything like it.   He didn't want to stay out in the radioactive rain too long so....

he ducked inside a bar  and  found himself   in front of a giantTV.. He grabbed the remote and tried to find any news about the yellowing sky,  spreading overhead. THE  most important/serious thing going down in Babel Land,  EVER  .... and not a word.. .

on the TV..
the first channel was a children show on numbers.
the next channel was a movie ..filled with violence
the next a reality show.. depicting some very interesting people...
the next was a cartoon movie ..just visual candy for kids...
the next few channels were all news show.. many talking heads .many arguments and finger pointing...all speaking gibberish..he surfed through a hundred tv channels and not one  channel,  not one,  was reporting about the monsterous threatening sky  just outside the door .. the most real thing,  the most important thing in the whole wide world and no one on tv , not a soul was  even acknowleding it was  there or that it was happening.  in real time..
gnat hit a button on the remote that got him on to the internet .. .he did a search for Fukushima and got some good hits . . the best was Enenews . with up to date articles and long comment streams that were intelligent and truthful .and  the comradery was great .. .It painted a bleak picture for  the future of life in Babel Land. .

he was reading some of the comments on enenews.com  , one comment was that the plume of radioactive dust was being carried by the wind . . . and had already contaminated 8% of dystopias landmass , , it was only a matter of luck whether or not ,Babel would be made uninhabitable .. .one fickle wind and its the end of Babel . . . .

gnat>> . . . gotta get back to greem,,,get back to greem,,,getbacktogreem

when,  through the window, he heard a voice crying in the wilderness..He was suprised to hear an English accent being  spoken in the noosphere, so he listened closely....all it said repeatedly was "Hit the Beach and HURRY"..that was it .. and  that was enough. ..and it soon faded into  the cacophony......
so he ran down to the sea.. not knowing what else to do. The ocean was still blue here. It was calm here and he was too. But the air around him was swurling yellower  by the moment.. he couldn't help but breathe it in.. it tasted metalic.Not good, so he said a prayer, the same prayer he said each night before sleep

i pray for my health
i pray for my familys health
i pray for my friends health
i pray for the Earths health
i pray for my Natures health
i pray for my GAIA's health
i pray for all sentient beings health
i pray for all non-sentient beings health except for him and his minions
i pray for the muse
i pray for courage, strength, bravery
wisdom, enlightenment
love, guidance, protection, prosperity,happiness and more good friends esp more good friends

he thought of the two men outside the hindu temple

i pray for the Mokshas

. Then he thought about the man in black outside the football stadium....and he added for good measure

i pray for a special protection for all beings that find favor with Gaia gaia   . . including me..

Just then he saw a fat man in a blue bathrobe and  shower cap, holding an upright scrub brush, walking fast  along the beach leading a small group of mostly young people ..He was speaking calmly as he moved.."if you can understand me then follow, hurry , follow"
So gnat fell in with them.. the pace was fast and gnat didnt know how long he could keep it up. nobody talked just the "follow, hurry, follow." The sky was growing worse from the NPP. It threatened to block out even the sun..soon the little group joined another group that were just standing around on the beach .. This must be the place. but the place for what he hadn't a clue.. then as they waited some started to sing


green train

thats when they saw the green periscope. a cheer went up from the small crowd..soon a green submarine crashed through the surface .. it turned into shore coming as close to shore as possible..some folks came out onto the deck and waved and yelled.......when they were as close as they could get, they dropped a gangplank onto the beach
and gnat and the others scrambled quickly board the

GREEN SUBMARINE
