I looked up and saw the moon.
It was stained blood. The sky had a similar hue.
Something crunched under my feet when I tried to move. Looking down I saw.......... A broken skull.

Then I became aware of where I was standing ,huge blocks of stone were scattered on ground covered in blood. The whole area was dotted with number of dead bodies. Some were burned.... Some were crushed under stones.......
The smoke and putrid smell of burning blood was dispersed throughout........ As ashes rained from the sky........

I was stunned.......

A storm of thoughts wrecked my brain.....

"How did I reach here.....?

Where exactly am I......?

What am I doing here.....?

Who am I.........? "

....... I tried my best but except the unbearable ache in my brain I got nothing......

Suddenly I felt as if the ground was shaking......

I slowly moved backwards, frequently stumbling upon rocks and bones.

As the vibrations increased..... My body began perspiring heavily....As if I was utterly terrified, from what, even I didn't knew.......

The explosion that nearly deafened me was seen in the horizon as a thick black and red cloud.... The vibrations became louder and louder......

I mustered my courage and climbed a boulder nearby.

It was then I saw.... A massive machine painted in black was approaching towards me........

"What the..... hell......What is this..... and why is it coming here? "

 It had a massive machine gun

. It had a massive machine gun...... Smoke was coming out from its barrel which indicated that it was used recently...
." Perhaps the explosion... ".
...................

Before another thought could cross my mind.... The machine raised his gun and aimed at me. Like it was aware of my presence or it might be after me only........

A black beam emerged out and piercing the dark clouds of smoke and dust came towards me.......
Just in the nick of time my body reacted and I jumped..... The beam passed above by head and blasted in midair....... " How I was able to do it.? ..... Please don't ask me..... I don't know........ "

I was terrified just to see the magnitude of the explosion that almost ripped the sky apart.....
Then I thought
" If it was coming for me..... perhaps I should find a good place to hide...... Before it crushes me like a bug...... "

I dashed forward....... My breath was choking..... But I had no options...... My body felt as if was drained of all energy........ After running for half an hour I fell on the ground...... I was exhausted...... But he it occurred to me that the machine was far behind me..... So till it reaches me I will regain at least some of my energy.........

Very soon my thoughts were trampled...... The machine that looked like a huge black robot landed 5feet away from me......

I couldn't do a thing..... I had no energy....
I tried to drag my body.... On the sand that scratched my skin repeatedly......
I couldn't go far..
The next instant the robot was standing before me and pointed another one of his gun that looked like a massive revolver......

The mechanical voice spoke....... As the eyes of the robot started glowing....

"Target.....Locked.....for....termination..".
I didn't wanted to give up.... but what choice do I had.....
As my eyelids grew weary..... The vision became blur..... I tried to raise my head but it was futile.....

The last thing I recall was the voice of the robot which spoke.....

"Target locked. . . .. Time to be terminated..... "
