My Work

Slipped Away

     This can't be it. This can't be all. Can it? This can't be all there is to life? But that's just how my life goes. There's not much of anything anymore. Here, or the world around me.

    After the Third World War, Mother Nature soon wanted to take her land back. As the people were fighting, they were blind to their true enemy. But just like anything, it was over before it began. As the people fought, mother nature soon devoured all, until nothing was left.

     We were all blind until it was too late, and now our world is gone. Family fighting family, friend fighting friend, and brother fighting brother for whatever resources they can find.

    The world has turned into a dark and scary place. Where blood is spilled everyday, and no one seems to take any heed. But that is not for me, that's not how I wish to live. How could anyone live like that?

    For as long as I can remember, there has always been war. The strongest taking from the weak; the weak succumbing to a painful and lonely end. Families have been torn apart, and newborns stripped from their mothers' reluctant arms. Never to feel the love of their mother's touch again.

     And then there's me. A lone girl in a big, rotten, godawful, pathetic world. This is not a life I want to live; constantly fighting for whatever land, money, food, water, or family I have left.

     I wish I could be shielded from my mother's wrath, or my brothers' stained and icy looks. Father abandoned our cause, and forsaken our family. Running off with another maid, leaving his once unvarnished family.

     Blinded by their own hate and cravings, they can not see the harm they are doing. To me, and to our once lavish world. Slowly destroying all, turning our past green world into a gray and barren wasteland. Tinted red with years of blood lust and greed.

     This life isn't for me, all this slaughter and massacre. This is not who I am, this is not who I want to be. I want out. I need to escape.
