"Give me some water Ashley!" I am awoken by a demanding old man.
"Quit your whining and go to sleep." I yell back to the other side of the aisle.
When did my life become this way? Oh yeah now I remember, when my lunatic grandfather got out of the insane asylum. Why did they even let him leave? I don't know.
I roll over and look at my alarm clock. 4:35 A.M.
Why is he up so early? Why is he constantly thirsty? I'm not even going to correct him on my name.
"Wait until the morning!" I shout at him.
I'm so tired I can't even think. He knows that I was training all night. I only have a couple hours to sleep. I wish I could sleep like a normal person but I think about things late at night when  it's not okay to think about things.
I think about my whole entire life training my butt off to fight off aliens and robots. I remember me and my grandfather watching them bury my parents. I haven't seen my brother or sisters since they set out to save the world. They're only a little bit older than me. I miss them but I know that I have to be strong. I remember my brother said to me, "Ashley, you better leave your mark, you better leave imprint. Life is just a waste of you don't try to make a difference. You have the power to change the world. If you don't use it right, I'll be honest, I don't know how you could sleep at night. I'm not going to forget about you I'm just trying to right my own wrongs. I'm trying to inspire you. Just remember me when I'm gone."
Now I can't sleep at night. I can still hear people screaming. I go to sleep and I dream about it. Towns people crying as I try to play hero and save the town. What was I even thinking? I risk my life at the age of eight. It was a disaster. I wasn't even properly trained and I was so scared but I knew I had to stay strong.
"For your family." I would repeat over and over. I learned how to keep my head up and keep pushing on.
When I open my eyes again it's not from my old man on the other side of the aisle. I'm not sure what it is but I'm so tired. After I take a shower I still feel slightly groggy.
"Hey Ashley get me a water!" Gary demands. How did he even hear me wake up?
I need a coke to wake me up. I force my self up and walk to the freezer and fridge part of this old store.
I creep around when I see a shadow.  run back to my bed and grab my gun. I casually walk back and peek. There is a human here. He's drinking my coke!
My mouth went racing and my mind went dead. When I pulled my coke out of this persons mouth I whine when I see the slobber and I did nothing to hide my disgust.
I take a good look at him. He looks like he hasn't slept in days or showered in a couple years. Okay he doesn't look that bad but he should definitely take a shower soon. I wonder what kind of depths of earth he came out from. One thing that I learned from my grandpa is never trust any one. After he says his name and how old his is I find him rude. I decide that I've talked to him too much. He needs to leave my home.
I turn to leave when he starts giving a speech about how we can save the human race. How are we supposed to do that? Repopulate the world our selves? I am perfectly fine with out having any kids or anything. I he drank my coke and he wants to talk about saving the human race? No thank you.
"I can't leave knowing there's other humans alive here. Please just take my hand and we can do this together." STD pleads.
"There is no other humans. There's me and my grandpa and that's it." I take out my gun and shoot it at him. Slow and painful did he die. The last words I have said was "Don't slobber on my drink, expecially my coke."
