End of the world

my end of the world narrative

 
The year is 2131 and most people believe that we won't last another.

 It all started in 2124, I had just turned twelve when it all started.

I remember the day perfectly as if it happened, just yesterday.

It was a stunning day , not a single cloud in the sky.

For my birthday we had all decided to stay home with family, and I were running around the exquisite garden, playing a joyful game of tag.

On that garden that my mom held so dear to her.

From the just blooming sunflower to the enormous willow tree, flowing ever so softly in the middle of everything.

I had just tagged my oldest cousin Jason, when the world fell black.

There was no warning, nothing at all.

Everyone was panicking just trying to figure out wha was going on.

As for myself I remember just being so amazed at how many stars were in the black sky.

I had never seen so many stars in my life.

My mom said that is was the city lights that made it to bright to able to see many.

As I was gazing it happened in a blink of an eye.

It was day again like nothing had ever happened.

Though I could tell that every adult was scared and worried, but they just went along with the day as if nothing had ever happened.

I confused to say the least but I went along with them too , trying to even forget it happened.

It wasn't till four days later , that these loud sirens started going off again, again though out the course of two days.

They kept us up all night and awake all day.

During that week many things just stopped working like the all signals , and everything with power and eventually the water went to.

Turning into brownish-green muggy and smelly too.

Everything was complete chaos, one night I remember over hearing my parents talking about how there was no food or water left in any store they went to.

Most people they said has gone crazy and getting very violent.

After that day most everything went silent.

It was around day five ,when my parents woke me up and told me have we have to leave.

A lot has happened since then, nearly seven years ago, and it has only gotten worse.

I lost my mom and dad almost 5 years ago.

My dad died from a deadly virus that we couldn't cure, and my mom died to rebels trying to save me , to soon after.

Everything was looking downhill from there.

I was dehydrated, staving, and had no way to protect myself from anything.

One day I had been walking for miles and miles, I was so exhausted that I collapsed right there on the spot, in front of a ransacked grocery store.

It Felix that saved me that day, he had been hiding out in the old grocery store when he saw what happened.

To this day not only do I owe him my life but he his my best friend , well my only friend.

" Come on Vanessa we need to keep moving." It was Felix's voice that bought me out of my memories.
