The Only Five Left

One spark of the bubonic plague spread throughout the world. It killed off almost everyone except for five teenagers from around the globe. It was in their DNA that they couldn't get sick from the plague, but they didn't know that and hid in fear. They all lived in different parts of the world. Kailua lives in Hawaii and speaks English, she enjoys doing math and spending long days on the beach. Allston is from Boston and speaks through sign language because he is deaf, he enjoys drawing and painting. Saleem lives in Istanbul and is fluent in English and Turkish, he loves to learn and loves to take photos with his camera. Karen is from Pennsylvania and speaks fluent sign language and English, she enjoys hiking, dancing, and gymnastics. Lastly, Ella is from Australia and is fluent in Australian English, she enjoys spending time with animals and writing. They all meet on a social media site called Social Sunday and realize that they might be the only ones left alive on the planet. None of them want to spend their time alone, desolate, with the nearest person alive miles away. Together these five have to find a way to meet each other. All of them know that they can't fly airplanes and only Karen and Ella know how to drive. They become fast friends because of the loss in all of their lives because of the deadly plague and because they are the only ones left. The only ones. Yet, they still think other people that don't have social media are out there, alive and well just like themselves. So they plan to group up in Pennsylvania and decide what to do then. What happens in PA stays and PA and let me just say, you don't want to know what happens when they group up. I, the narrator, know what happened because I watched it all. I watched the plague spread and did nothing to help. I may not be human, and I may not have helped, but I did it to save my species. The only five left are the reason we even started the plague again, we need to get them. They have the DNA codes that protect them from this awful plague, and what we have also found out about them is shocking. All of them are also immune to all diseases on our planet, so we need their DNA. We must wait for them to get together of course, just so they can meet and talk, then we will snatch them up and use them to create a disease-less kind of our species. Anyway, we'll see that you, the reader, sleeps safely tonight. Just watch out for the airborne plague because it can get you even light years away in space. Goodnight, don't let the airborne virus/bacteria knows at the bubonic plague take flight.
