Novi Mundi (new world)

Finding My Way (Chapter 2)

My prediction was to happen a lot sooner than anyone thought it would. Little did I know there were people already plotting, planning chaos and strife. Everyone around me slowly grew paranoid, worrying about what would happen to our world and way of life. Then the darkness and corruption began to strike, bringing down buildings, homes and everything that they possibly could. Everywhere I looked I could see people fleeing in fear, going to any and every nearby world. I knew exactly where I would go, the one place I had always wanted to see... EARTH!

By now my once peaceful and perfect world was in chaos and ruins. No matter where you were, all you could hear were blood-curdling screams than could make the bravest man quake in fear. I sprinted around trying to find some way to escape. At last I finally stumbled across a small hawk jet - a ship that looked resembled a hover car. "Oh, please work..." I muttered to myself. I clumsily jumped into the vehicle and flicked the on switch. "YES!" I shouted - a lot louder than I meant to. I looked around hoping no one heard my random outburst. With that I left the world that meant so much to me, not that there was much left to miss. At that point the excitement was gone and I felt a sudden pang in my chest. The thing that I saw that day would never leave me. It would haunt forever.

I shook my head to clear my mind and focus on what I needed to next. I quickly set my course and focused on heading forward because now there is no way back. I needed a new world and a new life to help me forget my past. I set the ship on auto- pilot and then the tears began to pour down my face in painful grief for all I've lost. I began to weep and weep in sorrow, until I had no tears left to shed, then finally I began to surrender to my exhaustion and the darkness consume me.

I woke with a start, banging my head on the roof of the ship. As I started gain more consciousness, the events of yesterday flooded back to me like a wave of emotions - pain, loss, sorrow, loneliness and ANGER! As I sat there thinking about all that those monsters had done, my anger began to manifest into hatred. 'No!' I thought to myself, "Not hatred, LOATHING!" So there I was sitting in this tiny vehicle and all I could do was sit and think.
