episode I

~ part seventeen  ~


[ 3 / 8 / 2019 ]

Setting : SHSS

Time : 9.30 am


Debris.

Destruction.

Death.


That was all Ashley saw.

The loudhailer that was once in Ashley's hands fell to the ground, the feedback echoing through the room.

Hannah walked slowly to her, and everyone followed suit. 

"Oh my..." Hannah murmured, the picture before her robbing her of words.

The group stood there in complete silence. You could see it in their eyes. 

Lost.

"Students, what is going on here..." Mr K questioned as he walked into the room, his gaze falling on the group that was crowding the window.

No one gave a verbal response. Hannah merely turned her head towards him and then back to the window, as though prompting him to look out as well, which he did. 

He headed back to the teachers' room.

"Should've known they were going to raise the blinds up sooner or later. Well, guess we have to break the news to them now. These kids are intelligent, I don't think we should sugar coat our words, they'd rather know the full truth which they deserve." Mr K informed the other teachers about the situation, to which they sighed.

The hour they had been dreading had finally come.

The group outside was still in disbelief.

Concrete towers that used to surround the school now lay in ruins, everything that used to be of colour was now covered in shrouds of fine grey dust. Streets that used to be busy with vehicles were filled with rubble. Coffee shops that used to be full of life and laughter no longer existed. For as far as they could see, everything was just, gone.

One thing that concerned them more though, 

was the sign of zero life.

No one- not a single breath was exhaled from wherever they were looking.

A single tree. 

That's all that was left. The other trees seemed to be burnt to ashes by some sort of fire.


What the hell happened?
