I slowly open my eyes and sit up.

Looking around I see many things.

Buildings are flattened.

Bodies lay on the ground.

Some are half hidden.

Some have missing limbs.

I look up and see the stars.

I take a deep breath and stand up.

My city lay in ruins.

I am Dirty.

I am Alone.

"Zoe!!" Someone yells out.

I do a 360 and stop as I see a friend.

"I'm so glad I found you." He yells running up to me.

I stare at him with longing in my eyes.

"You died... right next to me." I say.

"Three years ago." I look towards the ground as I say that.

I am dead.

I am Dirty.

And I am not Alone.
