Aftermath

Start Of World War 3

When I was walking to the shops in new york city there was a strange feeling in the air. Like something really bad was about to come my way, The grey clouds hung over and it was a dark day. You could say most days were like this but today was different, its like the grey clouds expected something bad to happen, that they could see the danger heading this way. As i stared in the sky, the sun ripped through the clouds for a second before hiding again. At the time i never thought that would be the last time i saw the sun for a very long time.

The worst thing about the situation that, the news had been broadcasting all over the tv warning us about a world war 3 to come. We have to carry gas masks around because its a huge threat... Russia had already bombed half of the world... America is trying to fight back but... Doesn't seem, to well on our side.

I continued to stroll down the street, my handbag by my side and my gas mask hanging down beside my skirt, banging against my right leg, I couldn't help myself but stare in the sky... it seemed so unsettled and i could see this. I looked back to the street i could see the shopping centre ahead and people like my self minding there own buisness on there way to work, taxis beeping and a couple across the road arguing about financial problems... now that i think about it im sure they would of not wanted to spend there last moments together arguing and just, hug.

I continued down the street it was a calm morning. Well not esactly calm because it's New york and there is still beeping of cars, but less people for some reason.

All of a sudden a wave of darkness came over the world i was living in, i stared up at the sky and billions of birds were flying together to the south, that many they blocked the sun and clouds out, it lasted for about 40 seconds, billions and billions of birds all diferent species of birds screaming in there language, the air what was silent filled with the sound of birds trying to escape the darkness that was chasing them. I stared for a few seconds before realizing that i needed to get out of there or i was dead.

As other people stared, i knew what was to come. I knew i didn't have much time and i knew i needed to get home to the bunker to save my life, i've watched to many disaster films in my short life and when the birds fly south it normally means a tsunami or zombies are not far behind. I attach my gas mask to my face, strapping it on like all the adverts showed.

I can do it.

I can do it.

Taking deep breaths, i sprint down the street going the oposite way to the birds, my hair flying behind my shoulder and my cheeks wobble as i run like the birds fly. A man trying to sell newspapers tried to stop me but i pushed past him... I knew i probably had about 10 minuites till disaster strikes and i know they will do it fast. I ran so fast that i triped over and grazed my knees on the floor, a buisness man helped me up and asked if i was ok i nodded, i ignored the throbbing and continued to run as fast as i could, the birds had finished passing over me and the grey clouds came back but it was only a few seconds before the sky went dark again and the sounds of helicopters filled the air now replacing the sound of birds... I had about a minuite till i was at my home, i was very lucky as my dad was in the goverment and he knew what was going on, the goverment made sure we were ok by building us a safe place to go when this happend. I was very aware of what russia was doing and their plans.

Everyone who were on the streets of new york just stared, taxis and cars stopped, people got out of there cars... I lived just out of new york over the golden gate bridge, i quickly glanced up at the sky still running, the helicopters released ropes what hit the ground and people started to panic as the russian army started to decend from the sky carrying heavy machine guns and in strange black suits with big masks on. I think some people knew and tried to drive of, I still ran ignoring the army that came down on us, the sound of machine guns followed behind me as they rapidly shot down innocent children, men, women and babies, i just ran and ran, i could see the golden gate bridge ahead of me, i knew i shouldn't of turnt back but i couldn't help myself a little girl, who was carrying her doll, about 7 was following me as she cried, in a split second her body bounced and fell to the ground as about 15 bullets ripped through her flesh, her eyes rolled back to the back of her head.

I continued to run even faster now, bullets zoomed past my head as i was being aimed at by a russian soldier, he continued to shoot at me and then a bullet hit my thigh, ripping through my tights and into my skin, i wasn't going to play dead. I limped in agony as the blood poured from my leg, but i still ran and i reached my home, i lost him, he never bothered to chase me.

I opened the door of my house so fast and limped through the house, using the walls to balance myself up so i didn't fall down, i smeared blood up the wall leaving hand prints as i continued to walk through the house to the back garden where the bunker was, i slid the patio door open, collapsing to the floor... i dragged myself to the bottom of the garden. Sounds of jets zoomed passed my head, i stared up at the sky,the soldiers were on there ropes being pulled up from the earth back in the helicopters.

I knew i had about 30 seconds until the soldiers got back in the helicopters and about 50 seconds till the nukes are dropped, so that gives me 80 seconds to drag myself to the bottom of the garden and get in the bunker.

I continue to drag myself but gradually i start to give up, no way now i can get myself to the bunker climb in and lock it all up in a matter of 30 seconds. Impossible! I drift of to sleep to the sound of jets over my head.
