The Tsumani

The Tsunami

I pull up and park next to a large building after a long day of driving down a long, quiet road.
I’ve finally reached my destination although the commute was long and slow.
This place should be filled with people yet the parking lot is empty.
I decide to go have a look around the building and get out of my car while taking one last swig of my Pepsi.
The sky is cloudy and the atmosphere is quiet and dark.
Maybe, if this place is truly empty I’ll make myself the monarch.
I always wanted to be the ruler of my own kingdom.
I’ll build up a civilization underneath me and share with them my wisdom.
I’ll be and loving and caring ruler, not one whose hated and feared.
When my death arrives, a statue will be built of me and I’ll be revered.

I enter the large building and begin looking around.
Its dead silent inside, not one is making even a single sound.
It’s a beautiful building and should be swarming with people.
Maybe everyone is sleeping.
No that’s not right, the parking lost was empty.
      It’s rather warm in here, I’m beginning to get sweaty.
The air condition is turned off; this place seems to have been abandoned.
I guess if no one shows up soon I’ll get back in my car and head back home.
No point hanging around here if nothing is going down.
Coming here I passed through a quiet little town.
Maybe I’ll stop there and check it out before heading all the way back home.
I can at least check out some of the surrounding area, I own that much to myself.

Just as I’m getting ready to leave I hear someone yell out my name.
I turn around and see a girl running towards me so I yell out her name just the same.
It’s a good friend of mine and a pleasant surprise to see a friendly face in this deserted palace.
God, I hope she’s real and I’m not becoming a victim of madness.

She runs up to me and gives me a large hug thankful I’m here with her.
She tells me she was coming here looking forward to a relaxing time beginning with a visit to the masseur,
but she has yet to find a single person besides now for me.
She asks me what has happened and how a huge mistake like this is allowed to be.
Obvious a mistake was made if we are the only two who showed up to this place.
I tell her since we are here and no one else is, we can explore the building and the surrounding area at our own moderate pace.

She tells me to follow her and leads me out back behind the building.
I marvel at the building as we walk out back still impressed by its excellent structural engineering.
Out back behind the building we arrive to a large beach sitting on the coast of a large ocean.
We stop at the edge of the ocean as she smiles at me, her face full of emotion.
She grabs my hand and puts her head on my shoulder,
Then tells me she was freaked out when she thought she was the only one here, but once she saw me she immediately gained composure.
She places her hand on my face and turns my head towards hers,
then plants a kiss firmly on my lips instantly eradicating all of my fears.
She ends the kiss and smiles at me then kisses me again.
This time her tongue invades my mouth and comes in contact with mine.
I grab her and hold her tight as we continue to kiss.
My stomach flutters, my heart fills with love, my body is overcome with a feeling of complete and utter bliss.
I end our kissing session as out of the corner of my eye I notice and ocean water begin to recede.
I tell her I would love to rip her clothes off and throw her on the sand and begin to breed,
but a tsunami is incoming and we need to head for higher ground,
otherwise we are going to be covered with water and drown.

We return to the building where I turn around and take one last look at the ocean.
A massive wave is heading right towards us and is moving at a rapid pace.
I grab her hand and begin to run as fast as I can out of the building and as far inland as possible.
I know, outrunning a tsunami sounds illogical
but I refuse to lose her before we cement our relationship and have a conjugal.
A fucking tsunami, how improbable.

I hear the large building behind us explode as the tsunami slams into it destroying it on impact.
I take a glance back and notice the water quickly closing in, that’s it we’re trapped.
I make a split-second decision and begin climbing up a tree.
I turn around, reach my hand out to her and grab onto her hand as the water hits her and tries to take her away.
She yells for me to not let go.
I refuse to let fucking go!
I fasten my grip and pull her up as hard as I can against the strong current of the water.
The current is strong but I’m stronger.
She yells again for me to not let go and to continue pulling.
I won’t let go!
I finally feel what it’s like to be alive inside!
I won’t let go!
I’m finally discovering who I am inside!
I won’t let go!
I’m finally feeling true love for the very first time!
I won’t let go!
My soul needs you to survive!
My heart and soul and busted open wide!
I need you to fill me up inside!

I finally win out against the tsunami water and pull her up on the tree with me.
She kisses me and wraps her arms tightly around me happy to be out of the water and free
to continue on living her life with me by her side.
I hold her tight, my heart now full of pride.

I open my eyes to discover my dark bedroom once again.
Sweat pours down my face, my heart is full of excitement it can’t contain.
I look at my alarm clock, it tells me it’s 3 am.
Fuck me.
