Interstellar

Introduction

My name is Mike Onno, age 27. I am one of the last survivors of the apocalypse as we know it. If anyone ever reads this or manages to survive, this is my story.  We knew that they were coming. We did not know who they were. I walked in to the barracks in the military base me and my sister were stationed on. "What are you still doing up?" I asked. "You still think that they are coming? Its been two weeks and nothing has happened. It was clearly an empty threat." I said. Cassie replied, "They were caught yesterday. They didn't fight back at all, they just said that there would soon be no prison to hold them in. They wouldn't have let themselves get turned in if it was for nothing" We had all seen the video that the organization posted, they had managed to hack in to every TV in California. Despite all the reason not to, I felt like something bad was about to happen. It seemed impossible for some group of 10 or so people to cause such widespread damage. The police had found many sacrificed humans, meaning the cult killed at least 45 people. I tried to convince myself that it was all fine. "They were just a group of murderers with some crazy religion." I stated. Cassie nervously replied "People have gone missing still, even after all of this should be over." At this point everything she was saying hit me, and it now did not seem like speculation, I was terrified. "Goodnight, Cassie." I said. I got no reply. Four hours later, I rushed out of bed at the sound of the alarm. I asked a recruit what happened. He said "You haven't heard?! Somehow, the cult got out of prison! We have lost contact with at least 6 of the surrounding bases and outposts!" With that, he ran off. At this point, I could not hold back the feeling that we were in trouble any longer. Somehow, they got out of prison and they have destroyed military bases, or maybe they cut the connection lines, or.... I fell to the ground. I knew something was coming, I could never have predicted what it was. A monster, with an octopus-like head whose face was a mass of feelers, a scaly, rubbery-looking body, prodigious claws on hind and fore feet, and long, narrow wings behind. It was the worst thing I had ever seen and anyone will see. The beast towered over the entire base, From what I could see, it was probably 600 meters tall. It shielded its body with the long tentacles that jutted out of its skin. In the distance I heard the sound of crashing waves. Seconds later, I saw the massive tidal wave that was rushing towards us at an extreme velocity. The only place I could hide was in the bunker, but could I make it there with this monster annihilating everything it sees? I tried to run, but I couldn't move. I struggled, but I couldn't move. I tried to scream, but I couldn't move. The monster's gaze was fixed upon me as if I were an ant. Just as I thought I should give up hope, I hear her voice. Cassie was there. "Mike! Come with me!" She helped me get to the bunker, I was paralyzed in fear. Cassie managed to get the hatch open and helped me in. As I tried to grab her had to help her in, she suddenly turned to look at the monster. Her eyes shifted towards me again, got up, and waited with her arms out. "Cassie!" I screamed. "What are you doing?" In an almost robot voice she replied "the will of the creature will consume you all, join me!" She frantically tried to pull me out and attack me. She stopped for a second and said "His will is going to take over the world. If you don't succumb now, you will later. They will find you!" With that, the tidal wave struck her with such force she became completely limp. I stood in horror at the bunker entrance, watching the wave cover everything.
