Rebirth

Day 1

The world isn't what it once was. You used to be able to wake up in the morning, grab a bowl of your favorite cereal, pop on a backpack and walk to your buddy's house without getting shot. Well here's what's different no cereal, no friends house, and oh yeah no friends. No worries though you'll still have a backpack that much is the same. Sure now it's filled with make shift medical supplies, couple cans of beans and some radioactive Twinkies for the road, but hey still a backpack. For those of you who are a bit lost allow me to elaborate. Hi my name's Kain I used to write a horror comedy back when the world was normal. I had just finished pressing publish for Chapter 13 of Dark Age: Lineage Book 2 when my phone started vibrating like crazy. So this started happening here I am trying to sleep until I find out it's an Amber alert saying that a nuclear bomb is about to hit New York City! I start thinking to myself oh shit man I live in New Jersey I better alert my whole family so we don't all die a horribly horrific death by molecular reconstruction.
I texted every one I knew telling them to evacuate nobody listened to me! I tried waking up my family and telling them that we gotta go but again nobody listened to me! My brother punched me in the face and told me to go to bed my mom's boyfriend grounded me for being up so late and my mom thought I had a bad dream. I went to show them the Amber alert but it was gone! Completely clean as if it had never happened so they just yelled at me to go back to sleep so I crawled back into my bed lying there wondering if what I'd seen was true. I mean my memory is pretty bad but I lucid dream every night I know what I saw but....there has to be something that I was missing that could confirm that either was either seeing things or that we were all really in danger. In the end I decided better safe than sorry so I went around town looking for a good nuclear shelter. At least a temporary one. I found a small pot hole under a bridge I hopped in and waited and oh surprise there was an explosion. That's when it hit me my whole family just died. Where was I hiding in a hole. Literally a hole. Every one I ever knew is gone they don't exist. My grandma gone. My little sister gone. My mother brother, aunts, uncles you name it their gone. My unborn baby cousin never saw the light of day. Droopy never got to come home to my grandmas new house. No pug, no hope no life. I wish I had just stayed there and died with them. I wish I had lied in my bed and stared at the ceiling. I wish I could of gathered all of my family members and just hugged them until it was over, but I didn't I chose life. I've been a firm believer in the end of our world since I was a kid but that was all theoretical what I would do not what I would want to do. Now I have to survive here on my own with no one to care for no one to confide in or talk to. No pages to write or songs to listen to. No loud lyrics blasting through the speakers of my phone or a Jovonni to over power said speakers. I hate to be such a pessimist I've said no so many times to myself im not sure if my mind even has any room for any positivity. It's just me now. I have to get passed this I may regret my decision but a decision was made now I've got to honor it. First thing I've got to do is get out of this sewer the water is probably going to be highly irradiated when the next bomb drops yeah I firmly believe there's going to be another one since one nuke on New York is pointless to an actual goal of annihilation. Whoever shot the nuke is going to shoot off another one because knowing Trump he's going to send one right back at them and of course that will result in them dropping another nuclear bomb on us. Where another one will be fired again and the cycle will go on until there's nothing left. So I crawled out of the sewers through the pot hole and surveyed the damages. The land it's self looked fine we're only suffering effects of radiation the very air I'm breathing is burning my lungs a slight tint of green filled the sky. So this is how they died not from an explosion but a poisoness gas. A poisoness gas I'm currently breathing it must of simmered down a bit. It was probably at it's strongest after the blast. Well I'm not going to last long enough to build a viable shelter like this. I need some protection. I'll be right back.
