"you don't really expect us to go down there do you?" Ekkia said glaring nervously at the old stone well.

"What choice do we have" i told her

"You get to try it first" Jackson said pushing me closer to the well.

i gulped nervously and stood on the edge then i jumped. i expected to plummet to the ground but instead i just kind of floted, after what felt like years i blacked out only to wake up next to everyone in what used to be a forest or something. i would not call this place Hell yet it wasn't far from it.  everything was dead bones lay scattered on the ground, no grass and only rotten trees. the world seemed to have no colour only grey, brown, black and white, even the sky was grey. 

"What the hell? where are we?" Ekkia exclaimed looking around nervously

"You said that well would take us home" snapped Ryan 

"No i said it would take us away from the other place" i defended myself

"Hmmph well this isn't better infact its worse" Julia grumbled 

"Just look at it as an adventure" i shrugged "Now come on lets go exploring" 

i started walking in a random direction, the others although probably thinking that i was pyscotic followed without hesitation.I mean what choice did they have? dont follow me and die or follow me and die or dont die it didnt really matter. finally after trekking through nothing but dead trees and dirt we came across a road. the road was made of asphalt, it was old and cracked, full of potholes but it was a road and to us at that moment it meant life. without a second thought we followed it and we didnt have to go far before we came across a city. the city was a desolate wasteland with no sign of life, buildings were decaying and crumbling around us, burnt out cars surrounded us and bones littered the pavement, human bones.

"Well" i said trying to be cheerful "Lets play the pessimistic game"

"the what?" said isabella

"Well we have to think of all the bad things that cold or have happen or happened" i replied "Ok i'll  start. there was a nuclear war"

"A huge fire wiped out humanity" Ekkia said

"A black hole" Isabella said

soon people were coming up with all sorts of things.

"Volcanic eruption"

"Alien invasion"

"Tsunami" 

"World hunger"

"global warming"

by this point we had reached a place that looked a lot like our school. all the windows were boarded up all except one on the second storey. a light could faintly be seen coming from it. we wasted no time bolting up the cracked and broken stairs and pushing open the broken glass door but what we saw shocked us.
