My eyes slowly open and my breath heavy. I punch the door with all the strength I have left. While screaming at a door, in the corner of my eye a red button. In a panic my foot smashes against it. The cold air rushes out as I fall to the floor feeling the individual tiles as I gather the strength to stand. It's been a long time since I've stood and walked. I look up to my mum her skin is blue, the blood once dripping from her forehead frozen in place and dad laying lifelessly his hip drenched in crimson. Tears escape my eyes and I break down into a ball, crying and screaming. I wish I could make time go back and relive all of the loving moments with my family.

I stand up, eyes burning from crying. I grabbed my fathers pistol and examined it, knowing him he would've kept the instructions. I was right, the pistol had special modifications like no ammo required, glow sighted scope and even explode mode. The man whom my father killed, no blood but circuits blasting electricity along with his partner. I sighed, 'I guess I need to get used to looting people' I thought but he had alright items, a weapon being a baseball bat, not very interesting but exceptional. The thing that caught my eye was something on his wrist, I unclipped it from him and fitted it on my wrist. A pip-boy, like a enhanced watch, shows a map, your heath, unlimited data, a diary/journal and a radio. It fitted like a glove.

I figured it was time to get out of here but before that, a burial. I found a weak point in the ground and dug a hole for two. Placed my mum and dad in their grave and said my final goodbye. Quickly, I ran out of there with Knife, gun, other weapons, tech, (bottle)caps the new currency and a taste for revenge. As the platform raised slowly as my new life started.
