I wake up breathing heaving, like I had just run a marathon. Oh wait. I did. The dream keeps recurring EVERY NIGHT. It does get a little annoying not being able to control it, but I get used to it because it's the only time I get to see my parents.

They died a few months ago with the rest of the world. The sickness took over them.

All the people that could cure it, died before they could help... Or come up with a name. Around here we call it "The Trojan".

It is a sickness in disguise.

There are five stages to The Trojan:

1: light cough (which in some cases is just a cold)

2: always out of breath after little exercise

3: never hungry or thirsty; eat and drink very little

4: fall to the ground, paralyzed from neck down

5: death

This ranges as long as you can fight it. Most people give up early because they know there isn't a cure.

Basically, at first you think it is harmless but then... BAM! You are struck dead.

Sorry, I'm getting ahead of myself.

Hi. My name is Frankie. I am one of the last people on Earth.

My parents died of The Trojan, and so did everyone, well except for 12.

5-Casey

6-Jessica

7-Mark

8-John

9-Paul

10-Elliot (diagnosed with The Trojan, stage 3)

11-Will

I can't.. I just can't.. This person is my sole hate, my despiser, my only hate, my.. I will stop. You get the point. I guess I will just say it.

12-....ugh... Zach(unfortunately not diagnosed with The Trojan)

Zach. Zaaaaaach. Even the name I hate. He always plays and is never serious. TRYING TO SURVIVE HERE! A LITTLE HELP PLEASE???!!!

I would go on about him, but this is a SHORT story... So best not to.
