Suriving

chapter 1

BOOM! I feel the speeding vehicle shake as the bombs were dropped. I look back to see that a little bomb can cause such a big destruction. I look up at the sky, and see the giant black and firey orange cloud that looked like a giant mushroom growing from the ground, to the air. I tense up looking, forward hoping none would hit us. I lean my head on my older brother who was driving seat, scared to death at what was happening. I hear my older brother yell curse words. I look up only to see the car soon spinning out of control, I clench to my brothers shirt as I scream "Malici!" I feel his arm swing back, and his hand clench my hip... then everything goes black.

I open my eyes not knowing were I was. I slowly close and, open my eyes a few times agesting to the dim light. I turn my head side to side, feeling a slight pain go threw my neck then, a few pops. I finally wake up fully after what seemed like forever.
Everything was silent. I lay there, staring straight up at the ashy sky which seemed to be a gray color. I take a beep breathe, and end up coughing. I sit up now staring at the ground, I close my eyes a bit then open them only to see a dark liquid drip on my leg. A drop of red substance, then another.
I bring my hand up to my face and slowly drag it down my cheek and nose then look at my hand, realizing that the red substance was coming from my face. I then wipe my face with my torn sleeve trying to get the blood to stop. I flinch at the stinging, and burning sensation.
I stand up looking around then it finally comes to me, a terrible feeling ripping a my head Malici! We're Malici!? It screams in my mind. " Malici?!" I call out. "Malici were are you?!" I turn around then run around, calling for him, knowing it was no use. I stop running out of breath.
"Malici....Malici" I whimper my voice begins to fade. I look around at the town witch was torn to shreds. I tear up knowing everything, and everyone was dead. I didn't want this to happen I wanted everything to go normal, I wanted Malici, I wanted my home, my bed and food, but its gone... "Why?" I ask myself "why.... why did this have to happen, why?!.... Am I dreaming..... I must be. I have to be." I feel a knock in my throat I begin to cry beginning to believe what was happening was real and not a dream. I fall to my scraped up knees and cry holding myself.

After what seemed forever, I get up and walk off seeing the dim sum try to shine through the thick ashy clouds. I hear my stomach growl. I rub it and look around for what used to be a mini grocery market. I spot it not to far from were i was standing. I walk twords it, getting to the blocked door. I began to move stuff out of the was, and tried to budge open the door.
After a while I finally get it open. I walk in and look around at the spoiled meats and dairy foods. I take a deep breath and look around. I walk down to were the canned foods used to be. Now they were all gone, nothing I look at the garbage cans and piles. I run over, and dig through them, anxiously ripping through the garbage just to find something, anything that could feed me, but there was nothing.
I take a sigh, and give up. I stand up, and with my head down I walk twords the door, holding my empty stomach. I budge through the door, and walk off, my head still down, getting extremely thirsty.
I look up after a while of walking and spot a small lake. I run to it and fall to my knees by it. I look at the water then scoop some water up, and drink it not caring were it was from I drink more, and lay down relaxing my sore legs.
I leap up to my feet after a bit, and started walking. i walk a ways from the lake hoping to find something to eat. I then come to a complete stop my eyes wide seeing something I wish I could unsee. I look around at the terrifying scene.
"Dead.... there all dead..." Choke out starring at a sea of dead bodies. It was like walking into a horror film. There was blood, guts, and bones everywhere. I get a sick feeling I back up lean over and throw up, smelling the terrible stench of decaying bodies.
I tear up at the thought of one o those being my brother. I shake my head no not believing it. The knot grows bigger, then I burst out in tears, I begin to cry uncontrollable, I fall to my knees screaming this can't be happening... After all I am only 9 years old. I hold myself, rocking back and forth, wishing this was a dream.

I stand up after a while, and face the destroyed town then I close my eyes, leaning my head back. This is it, this is the end, this is were I have to start.... Surviving on my own.... Alone....
