What It's Become

The End of the World

            The skies were dark and gloomy as the few survivors fought each other once again, tearing one another's throats out and just killing for fun and personal gain.  The boy looked out from his underground hiding place remembering how it had gotten to this.  A broken world from war with humans and ruins as all that remained.  It all started when more and more people started turning again their own families.  Everywhere you looked there were married couples getting divorced, if they had children they'd leave the kids in the dust wondering what happened to their loving family.  The amount of crime had risen and the police could just not keep up with it no matter how hard they tried.  Various wars started, atomic weapons of all sorts, decayed the Earth.  It all got worse and worse, people would just kill and cheat and lie for no reason what so ever.  No one could trust the other.  It became an every man for himself kind of world.  Everything fell apart.

        BOOM!  A large bang interrupted the boy from his thoughts.  He looked toward where the people were before only to see them gone he looked around and noticed one of them had in fact gotten closer to him after killing the others by ripping out their throats.  The man stood there with blood on his mouth and hands staring at the boy.  He suddenly growled then charged to where the boy was sitting,when he collided with the boy and using his teeth ripped the boy's throat out.  The boy was drowned in agony and cried out for mercy to his once loving father who would only go deeper into the boys's throat.  A single tear slid down the boy's face as he breathed his last breath, memories of happier times, when his father wasn't a cannibal in a dead world, rushed to him then he felt and saw nothing.
