The day of the meteors

    Connor McKinley worked for customer service and ticket sales at Eccles Theater in Salt Lake City. He got paid decently and had an apartment in the City Creek shopping center just up the road. On his own time he danced at a local dance company and also did Ariel silks. People would often say he was the most talent beautiful guy in the heart of Utah. When he heard that the world was going to end, he truly didn't believe it.
But when the first shock wave hit. That kind of gave him a brief minute to prepare.

       He spent days and days finding doomsday bunkers for sale or to stay in. And when he finally did, his whole life savings, as well as his boyfriends (who passed away during the disease) to go towards it. And before going to the bunker, he visited his grave. Only to find himself in the middle of crashing meteors.

                                        Connors POV
   "I couldn't run fast enough. I know I know you're probably calling me unfit. But to be honest, I didn't really know what I wanted in the moment. Good for me, the bunker was only a mile or two away.

Tears were spewing down my face by the time I got myself down into the bunker. Nobody else was there. Maybe I was early or something but I had to get there." I explained to the group in front of me. "Why were you at a graveyard," Arnold broke the silence. "I um- I was visiting my boyfriend.." Kevin's face grew pale.
"Does that make him your ex?"
"I mean- I don't know technically."
"Aw man I bet he was cool."
"Arnold.." Kevin chimed in, trying to get him to shut up. Chris looked up, "you two know each other..?"
"Yep! He was my across the street neighbor since we were five! He's my best friend guys!"
Kevin just shook his head. I didn't have much else to say to these people. I was only really interested in the girl, Naba I think it is?

Naba

-------------------

Nabalungi came to Salt Lake City from Africa after being forced into a marriage by the general who controlled her village. But that wasn't the reason she left. After the arranged marriage her father had enough with general B.F.N. He tried to stop the marriage for the sake of her daughters future. But that resulted in a gunshot to the face, which she witnessed. that night when she began packing her bags to flee Uganda and start a new life anywhere, her husband who didn't even know her name forced her into things her and her father would never even think of happening. The next day she fled the village. And some how boarded a plane to Utah, which she had heard so much of from the people who would visit. She had only been there for 5 months before the meteors hit.

She lived out of the homeless shelters that spanned from Salt Lake and Provo. Her third month she spent being checked by doctors in the shelter and it was revealed that she had been (of course) carrying a baby for 2-3 months. Naba didn't know what to do. But that day she made a promise to herself that she would care and love for that kid like no other. She would NOT let anything or anybody force them into anything.

The following week she found the bunker, somebody was already in there (connor) when she arrived. They didn't really talk. But what they did say brought comfort into the bunker. Well until the others came.
