Lunar Eclipse

As I watch the clouds around the moon get red I felt the clouds around my head open up. My feelings started running marathons. Every thought seemed to get faster and faster like something blocking them finally opened. Like the pistol shot off into the air and they started running trying to burst through the finish line to be the most important. The events of the 18 years coming back like a tsunami. Waiting, watching, moving. Flowing to me quicker than I could prepare for. The walls I have worked hard for years to build stood no chance on standing. The chance of higher ground was not an option.
