Its The End

First, it was the weather, then it was no working cars, then it was the virus, now… the power. 

This past week has been... Well… interesting. Let's just call it that I'm not quite sure what has been happening. All of Monday it was flooding, huge waves crashing through cities, little towns, huge farms, destroying everything. We called that “the wave”. On Tuesday, the sun was hotter than ever, scorching everything, catching fire if something got too hot. We called that “the scorch”. Wednesday was not much better either. Everything froze over, it snowed all day if you went outside you would die. You would have to bundle up in everything you could find and stay inside if your home survived the first 2 weather instances. We called that “the freeze”. On Thursday everything that transported people stopped working, planes, cars, busses, trains, if you needed to go somewhere you would have to walk. So far Friday was the worst day of them all, the virus hit. You would have to wear masks, gloves, and only go by people you lived with. Anybody who came in contact with the virus, well, they would die or turn into living zombies, they had no control of what they did, it's like their brain was dead. That was called “The virus” 

Today is Saturday, May 14. The year, 2029. And today the power went out, which would not be that bad if there wasn't a huge black blob floating through the sky headed our way. As my parents and my little sister pack up, I'm writing in my journal knowing it's gonna all end soon. Finally I start packing because we are gonna get out of here as fast as we can. My dad said we were heading to the “Safe Haven” but as of right now I'm not too sure, I think he might have said that to make my little sister calm down. As we leave the house mom is worried that it might be the last time we see it, not knowing how long we will survive out there. All of a sudden my dad says “we're here!” and everybody sighs in relief. We go into the woods and find a camp with what looks like over 100 people in it. We set up our tent and go to the mess hall for dinner. We were only in the camp for a couple of days before someone caught “the virus”. And because the power is still out there is not much we can do but *BANG* well that, kill him. 

A couple of days have passed and what was about to happen shook us all. 

So today is Friday the 20th. We’ve been at the camp for almost a week now, and then 3 school buses show up and a couple of military trucks, they explain to us that they are going to take us to the base and we shall be safe there. Of course, we were all excited but when we got there something was not right. The power was on, all their cars working, the base was in perfect shape even though the weird storms last week. Then it hit me. “Mom! Dad!” I yelled. They were nowhere to be seen, and for my sister, she caught the virus and died. Someone comes up behind me and the next thing I know I'm back at the camp, power still out, but I'm the only one there. The only other different thing is… that black blob has now landed. It's over 20 feet long and at least 30 feet tall. I walked up to it and there was a door. As I walked inside, I saw on some computers every place that destruction hit. I saw the base and everybody there. My stomach sank. That is not a base, those are not the military, those are the outlanders, that's what I'm going to call them. And then, the power went out in the ship and there was a huge earthquake that shook the whole forest. I stepped out and ran to the nearest building, but with the power out there wasn't much I could do besides sit and write in my journal. Today is Sunday the 22nd. I am headed to the base to go save everyone but there is one problem… well the sun went away today. It is pitch black outside and with no power, running cars it is gonna be pretty hard to get there. It is 69 miles away and once you get there, you have to get through the gates. So off I go, I hope I don't meet a brain-dead human who caught the virus. The day is almost over, I think, and I have only walked about 30 miles, therefore I am going to quit for the day. 

Monday, the 23rd, I made it to the base, how do I know? Well, all the lights are on, that's how. I shimmied my way Under one of the fences and ran inside. As I entered I got this huge feeling in my gut like someone was watching me, I turned around and saw a shadow of someone behind the wall, and at the exact moment all the lights went off and the halls of the base were filled with darkness and silence. A loudspeaker came on and said “ Do not worry it's probably just one of our ships landing everything should come back on in a few minutes” Did she mean… like the one I saw at the camp? I ran through the halls calling for my parents and eventually I found them. But something wasn't right. They didn't know who I was. I started crying not knowing what to do. So I ran to one of the military people and told them a couple people caught the virus. They called back up and went to investigate the situation. I ran back to my parents and grabbed their hands and drug them out of the base. Once we were off the property They instantly remembered everything but then my mom fell to the ground, next my dad, then me. The last thing I remembered was feeling a warm liquid run down my back to my feet and someone says “If you're not going to cooperate you may leave, you have no choice” And then walked away. 

The End
