I wish I could change what happened but its in the past now.

there was pushing, shoving, screaming and crying towards the end. I can never forget the pure desperation and fear burning in the eyes of the waves of people scrambling and clawing for there lives..

''We do not need to worry global warming is a hoax. nothing will happen!'' a big booming politician said

''We do not need to worry we will have less cold related deaths and we wouldn't need to travel to Spain to get some heat'' he said his stomach jiggling softly as he laughed.

I can't believe that we fell for that mans money making tricks and the things he said to make himself liked.

Life carried on as normal but the temperature was hitting an all time high and that's when the floods started to happen they were small at first but they got so much worse.

I remember it all, watching from the roof tops, people falling into the monster engulfing them, I watched over the years the hope leaving peoples eyes until doctor .J. Parker. who was the inventor of the immortality pod.

''It would leave your bodies frozen in time and save humans as we know it...I hope..-" J.Parker said with no hint of malice in his voice.

The immortality pods which people called our "saving grace" were at the top of a building but there was too little time left after the doctor had finished the Prodo-type when it happened. the end of the world. the end of are planet.

I was standing outside my work place on my break with a coffee in my hand just going over some graphs when the rain started, as if time had slowed it hit my skin with a gut retching sizzle and pop I quickly ran into the building my skin screaming in agony blazer and skirt now had small holes where the rain ate its way through the material.

''Jesus Christ , Emma what happened to your face'' my best friend Lizzy said concern written all over her face.

''What- what happened to your clothes'' she put her hands towards my face to cup my cheek and then that gut retching sizzle. then the yelp of Lizzy the lights flickered. I looked up quickly at the water dripping though the ceiling eating away at the outstretched hand of Lizzy's. I looked at her then out of the window the rivers looked as if they were threatening to claw their way to the streets. I looked back at Lizzy who was now rubbing her burn furiously.

''We need to go. Now'' I said trying to keep my voice level

''I what-?? what do you mean we need to stay inside what ever is in the rain- I- it burns'' Lizzy said her voice wavering and breaking, worry filling her eyes

I looked desperately out of the window watching the river slowly grip the concrete.

''Lizzy look at me we need to go. do you not hear the screaming if we don't go now, the immortality pods will be full.'' I tried to stop the tears from pricking my eyes.

''What about everyone else?? Emma we need to warn them'' Lizzy spluttered quickly before going to turn around.

''Lizzy. did you not here me look around. we need to go NOW. or do you not value your life'' I had anger bubbling inside me. I couldn't help but picture her gone like the others.

''....I fine-....'' Lizzy picked at her skin on her hands.

We both ran quickly to the staff room counting the seconds, putting some boots on an ran as fast as we could through the ran sizzling and popping of are skin filling are ears.

We rushed through buildings pushing and shoving others and then it happened I lost her. I let go of her hand in the waves of people. I screamed for her weaving in and out of the groups of people letting the rain eat away at my skin and clothes. I lost the only person I had left. I just shut down I broke I just turned and ran. Then clawed my way through the double doors of the building of the immortality pods.

''holy shit , there's a giant fucking flood coming'' a random guy screamed.

everyone turned and started to push ,punch , scratch and claw. and I did the same I threw myself at people to get through I have never felt so much terror it just took over and pumped though my body making me do things to people I would have never done. But the sounds of screaming crying and the crashing of water threatening to take us. My body felt like jelly my legs threatened to give way at every step I took my chest tightened and my breath quickened.

I could see it the pods but there was only one left from what I could see and I had to get it. I didn't care about anything anymore I just needed to live. So I pushed and grabbed at people and threw them over into the water that was climbing into the room. the sizzle didn't seem so sick anymore.

all of the fighting hurt and there it was the pod I grabbed at people and pulled them off and ripped off the lid and climbed in and slammed the lid shut hearing the hiss of the air lock. I then just watched people claw and clamber over the top hitting there fists into the glass and then it all stopped and went black.

little note from the writer. Hi, just want to let you know who ever is reading and enjoying this first part. I will try and get the parts out as fast as possible if you do enjoy. It may be a week tops each time as I am in my GSCE years and have work to be doing. The chapters should be getting longer each time hopefully don't hold me to my word though. A long with trying to get my work spell checked and stuff due to the fact I can't spell for shit. thank you for understanding. If you have any ideas that you would like to be put in let me know by commenting on the work.

Happy pancake day! :)
