[Initiating Emergency Restore]

I slump down on the pale concrete, weakened and nauseous. I could feel a painful tingle surge through my body as I desperately try to ȧssess my surroundings. My eyesight was blurry, and I couldn't see much, only the faint feeling of the concrete floor gave me a vivid picture of where I was.

I didn't know what was happening; I tried to remember what happened, who I was, where I was, nothing came to my mind except for fractured scenes of destruction. Distorted images that fluttered colliding with memories of paradise and memories of hell. Earth, it started to make a bit of sense. I lived on a spherical rock.

I tried to stand up, but I could bȧrėly feel my legs, it feels as if my legs were severed from my body. I accidentally fell to the floor hard, but I didn't feel any pain.

I just wanted to rest. I wanted to sleep.

I wanted to go home.

The memories, fractured and indiscernible, vague and obsolete, errors in the system regarding the questionable continuation of the timeline of events concerning the aforementioned disaster.

What.

I was going crazy, what was I saying. What disaster? What events? Nothing made sense, I felt I knew so much, but I knew so little. Nothing was making sense at all, not one bit, no.

If there was anything that could help me or someone, please, save me.

Save me.

Save me?

No, I saved myself.

Wait no, this isn't right, I never killed anyone, I never did any harm. Yes, the logic behind my actions were justifiable as an act of self-preservation, an act supported by millions of years of complex evolution and design of nature.

No! Nothing made sense, what am I thinking, these aren't my thoughts. Someone was invading my mind; you can't get me! Whoever or whatever you are, I won't surrender!

My eyes started to feel weak as I struggled to keep them open; I felt my body becoming numb. It felt like I was dying.

Maybe I was.

[Recovery Error, Retrieving Partial Memories]

I could remember the pain I went through, my content thrashing, and the severe headaches that attack my brain. The fractured memories and vivid scenes in my head were pieced somewhat ; it finally made a bit of sense

The year now is 3165, Month 10, Day 4. The Earth has been wiped of all life, the cause is in my head, but it's corrupt. I was the sole survivor of 3.2 trillion humans that lived here on Earth, the terraformed Mars, and other 2000 colonize planets. All life was indeed wiped out; I don't know how it was possible but deep in my mind, it said so. There was no more life, not even bacteria in the deepest parts of the ocean.

I finally gained the strength to stand up, pushing against the cold concrete floor. I looked around where I was; there was this cord stuck on my head; I didn't even feel it. The cord was connected to an orb; it seemed dead. The power looked like it was cut off or powered down. The room I was in was pretty derelict; the walls were made of a thick layer of aluminum, painted white. Cracks were evident on the surfaces, there was a bulb hanging from the ceiling, flickering.

I noticed a hole in the wall, no light coming from it but from what I know, that was where the outside world was. I was curious to know what looked like outside if this place was a derelict mess. I walked towards the hole, the hole was small, and only my fingers could go through it. So I poked my index finger in, I felt a cold gush of wind swept through my finger. Somehow I felt like I could pull this entire wall off, I thought of it, and it seemed impossible.
