It was just an ordinary day just like no other. I was riding my bike through the city doing my job being a delivery boy. My name Is Ben Dolan I am 24 and live In New York City. Life used to seem normal until this day. When I was riding a sudden glow was coming from my bag. I realized it was the package I was supposed to deliver I wasn't supposed to open it but I did anyway letting my curiosity get the best of me. It was some kind of glowing high-tech sphere. When I touched it it started glowing and vibrating some kind of weird noise then everything went bright as a blinding light shines from the sphere so bright I fall to the ground.
I woke up and could see everything around me was destroyed or on fire. I was in a lot of pain but I pushed myself to stand up and realize to myself I'm in the centre of the blast. I hear a noise and look up and saw a helicopter flying in the distance and then hear someone say over a mega phone in it say to me "If you can walk get to the bridge there is a medical crew and police evacuating the area." I start walking as fast as I can through all the rubble and was thinking to myself was this the package I was delivering. Could this be my fault? I put the thoughts out and focus on getting the hell out of there I run into a car park building to get away from a lot of the fires. I keep moving trying to get to the bridge. I walk past some leaking electrical equipment and then it hit me. I feel excruciating pain surging through my body and then it stops all the electrical equipment around me had all its power drained. I had been electrocuted by enough electricity to kill ten people. Shouldn't I be dead I think to myself. I get a phone call, I answer it. It's Aaron my best friend. He says to me there was a huge explosion in the area I was in and it was all over the news that there are terrorists attacking the city. He tells me to meet me and the bridge so we can get out of town. I hang up and keep moving. I can see the bridge in the distance. I walk past a heap of flood lights and it hits me again I feel a lot more electricity surging through my body. More than last time yet it was not as painful. Once it stopped all the electrical equipment around me was drained and then it was crushed turns out it was holding the ramp up. The ramp crashes down so I can get down. It's a clear way to the bridge. I see Aaron and he yells out to hurry. I'm just about to start running across the bridge and then the electrical pain starts again it hurts a lot more than the other times like it was trying to get out and then right there in front of me a giant bolt of lightning hits the ground. Aaron yells out "It's the Terrorists again run Ben run". I start running as more lightning bolts start striking the bridge. I can still feel the pain but I'm pushing myself to run. As the lightning bolts strike I get weaker and weaker. I'm almost across the bridge and then one of the bolts of lightning strikes right behind me creating an explosion pushing me forwards and I land at the end of the bridge next to Aaron. I land on my feet.I feel really weak and drained of all my energy as the lightning bolts stop I collapse to the ground and fall unconscious.
