[ PM ] Gim me something interesting ! Make me think !

I groaned as my alarm clock read 3:15 a.m. Ugh this insomnia. I have to stop texting my girlfriend all night.. I thought to myself. As I looked back at my phone and scrolled back up to the top of the Reddit Front page, I noticed there were some new posts I hadn ’ t seen. Instantly, I sat up in my bed. Did I just read that properly? 
 NUCLEAR WAR DECLARED IN MIDDLE EAST 
 No... It cant be? I knew the GCC were having some arguments but they wouldn ’ t have I started a war. But before I could click open the article, my phone was flooded with notifications. Facebook inboxes, tweets, whatsapp messages, every social networking and messaging application was being used to contact me. 
 “ Bro u alright? Howr things arnd u? ” 
 “ Taro we have to leave now. Mike and I are on our way. ” 
 “ Dude wtf is going on???? ” 
 As I read the messages, my girlfriend called. “ Taro what the hell happened?! Things were fine just half an hour ago when we were talking ” her voice trembled from fear “ where do we go? ” It was a good question she posed. I myself didn ’ t know what to do. “ look we meet up at the park and see how things are okay? ” I replied. “ okay ” she said shakily and cut the call. My head was spinning. I couldn ’ t think straight. So many thoughts whizzed through my mind as I fumbled with wearing whatever I had around me. 
 A nuclear war and im right in the middle of it all what the hell where do I go what do I do what about food and transport and oh God what about my friends what are they going to do holy shit man this is INSANE. I stumbled with the keys to unlock the door. but there ’ s Rose too.. oh God what are we going to do I have no clue where to go. 
 I snapped back into reality. There were police cars yelling things in Arabic everywhere, car screeches, horns honking madly. BOOOOOMMMM oh shit! An explosion?! I got ta go to Rose. I ran as fast as I could to the park and there she was in our spot on the hills where we always sat. She sat there in tears looking around frantically for a safe spot. “ Hey hey don ’ t worry it ’ ll be alright. Don ’ t cry. We ’ re together on this ” I told her hugging her as I wiped away her tears. She mumbled something I couldn ’ t put together. 
 We sat down and held each other ’ s hand as we attempted to cleared our minds and tried to think clearly out of all the chaos that was erupting around us. BOOOMMMM. Another explosion how perfect I thought to myself. But this explosion was nearer to us than the previous one. I couldn ’ t think of any place else to go. She started tearing again and hugged me tightly. 
 We sat there in the park on the bench holding each other trying to block out the things going on around us. This is it I guess. But at least we ’ re together right? I thought to myself as I hugged her and kissed her head. I looked up into the night sky which was now lit up with the burning buildings around us and reminisced at how the stars would glisten during this time and how the streets would be so quiet. Just as another explosion, even closer to us, went off I whispered softly into her ear “ I love you''
