~ You Died Last Night — Part 5   ||

Nuclear bomb over city
I looked and hundreds of miles away I saw a tremendous burst of light followed by the most enormous mushroom-shaped cloud the world has ever seen.

 

Whatever Happened to the Human Race?

Joe continues his story of his encounter with the alien, Tony. In this part of the story, the two of them continue on with the tour of inspection — over New York, and then across the ocean to Europe and Russia.
