" I saw a shining shouting star and I wished how to catch it"

Hands everywhere. They are pulling me towords the ground. I can't breath, I can't breath. I see a pair of hands coming toward my face, i think it's moms hands. It touches my left cheak and i get a warm feeling inside me.

"Mom where are you"

"Honey, everything will be fine"
Slowly slowly, she takes her hands away and they disappear between the others. A tear comes up in my eye and i close them to stop that water drop, to stop that sadness.

Next time i open my eyes I find my self in my bed, showered with sweat. I wipe the sweat from my forehead and I go up to the window. I look around at the beautiful city that is full of people, which was full of people. I check for if I can hear the birds but even they are not visible to see. Sometimes I try to think how they used to sing and how they used to fly. But thats how life is here for me, being alone.

It's twelve o'clock. I have to go out on my hunt, pursuit to locate more human beings. I take my bag and my water bottle, they are the most important things I need to survive with on this planet.

I continue to the door and put my hand on the handle then I think: I hope mom is back, I hope my dad is back, I hope the world is back.
I hope it was just a nightmare....

My long brown hair flys back when I open the door. A beautiful memory rises up in my head, about how I and dad used to run out and play in the park. But thats impossible now, even if I go to park to play the silance will kill me, will hunt me until i die.

I make my way through the empty road to the supermarket but thats when I hear something, something very load. I do not know if I should be happy or scared. I have never heard anything in this city, or in this world. Maybe I'm not the last, maybe it's people looking for me, or people who wants to kill me. No, I have to hide.

So I hide myself. I do not know when I fell asleep, but I slept a long time, I could notice that by looking at my watch. I get up in panic and look around. No one in sight, I might have imagined everything. So I take a deep breath and relax.

Then I hear it again. A child. I follow the voice of the child with a frightened heart that will jump out at any time. when I pass a shop, I hear the sound very loud. When I turn to the store, I see a child, a two years old child. It's shing like a star, a star which has fallen in my world.
