Once the streets were filled with laughing children, bustling cities, and a sun every morning to wake up to and admire. Now there is no life on the streets, there is no morning to wake up to, and now there is nothing left to admire in this unruly world. It wasn't always like this life used to be normal waking up at 8 getting ready for school spending time with your family even the little things that made living well. As humans, we don't appreciate what's given to us only when it's taken away. I'd do anything for an ordinary world, anything for a home, anything for a family. Now it is my duty to survive and keep fighting for that dream even if it takes anything.

The word of a deadly virus was playing on every single tv. Where once we could go out we were now forced to isolate ourselves in our homes. I would find myself just staring out the window for countless hours feeling empty. This was no usual virus, it was a plague one so deadly it silenced the whole world.
"Maya put some clothes in the luggage we're leaving tomorrow it's the final roundup" My mother sighed as she was pacing around the house.
"I already packed Mom!" I replied to her groaning.
Mom had asked me five times in the last hour the same question. I suppose she's simply worried about tomorrow. Everyone is, after all, tomorrow is the final roundup for the remaining families. For context, when the virus first appeared, roundups began since our home was no longer safe. Families were moved to a safe location. There have been five roundups so far, and it is finally our turn to leave. Honestly, I didn't know how to feel about this whole virus situation. It came from nowhere and hit the world so hard and fast. Instead of thinking of the future colleges or universities I would go to I'm left wondering will this misery ever end. Maybe I liked the world like this though. People would hate me if I told them but I like being at home by myself and not having to worry about school. It's selfish of me to think like this but I can't help but enjoy my time alone. Now it was all coming to an end though, tomorrow it was our turn to go to the safe place. I wonder if there will be a school there.
