The sharp metal bedframe bites into my back, the old thin mattress doesn't help one bit. I turn on my side trying to get more comfortable. My parents say this is the safest place for us, and I guess I wouldn't know. I was born in here and I will die in here. I have always been good, followed the rules, but I feel a call. I want more than living in a dusty old bunker my whole life. There is a blackout now, they happen three times a day. I trace shapes on the concrete wall with my fingers. I here the zap of the power being brought back and sit...

The sun catches on my dress as I pace the room. I have finally done it, my wicked cousins are gone and I have been given the throne. The lands will be peaceful again and the villages will get their riches back.

She bits her bottom lip and moves her wedding ring back and forth. She nods as she walks out of the room. My eyes never leave that wedding ring, I remember how hard I saved up to buy it. She had been so happy then, I don't understand why she isn't anymore. We have the life we always wanted. Big house, multiple cars, everything she could ever need I could give her. Sure ...

This was supposed to be the perfect day, the day I would finally propose to her. We rented a little cabin in the woods, it was perfect. I had great views and only one complaint that there was some problems with the wiring, but I wasn't worried about that. I had gone to make sure the I has the perfect place to pop the question. As I was walking back there was smoke and I wondered where it was coming from. The fire was so hot my eyes burned even though I was a mile away. My heart stopped when I saw the fire in the distance. I had only been gon...
