After the apocalypse

Prolog

All things have a beginning, and some have an end.

This was the end of the world, no one was the wiser, no one saw it coming.

the bombs fell on the world as humanity destroyed itself over petty reasons, like ideology or government.

but that is not our focus now

our focus is on a school in a little town in Illinois, Batavia to be exact. 

we look at Immanuel Lutheran Church and school.

???: come on Nathan we have to go to science class. 

Nathan: I know Macie, I'm coming. 

This was a normal day for Nathan, science was one of his favorite classes here at Immanuel. 

Macie: how long is this class again, it feels like it goes on forever!

Nathan: I know, but its only 45 minuets, I've heard that in some schools they do an AB block schedule. 

Macie: What's that?

Nathan: It's a system in where there are only four classes a day, but they are 90 ---mrmphhhh! 

I was stopped in my explanation by Macie covering my mouth with her hands, she pointed out the window. 

Macie: No, That! 

I followed where she was looking, and saw it, the cloud, that signature mushroom cloud from a hydrogen bomb.

I thought we were dead for sure, but my body reacted before my mind did. 

Nathan: EVERYONE GET DOWN!!! 

I tackled Macie to the floor, and covered her body with mine, I was bigger than all of my classmates, and heard everyone else hit the deck.

That day everything ended for this class of normal children and began for a group of survivors. 

everything froze for them as their building was covered by a dome of golden light sealing it off and semi freezing the inhabitants in time. 

Most immediately died while others held out

either by the grace of God, or some random event of the universe's machinations, Nathans class and some family members of those classmates survived

They are all different than what they once were due to the exposure of clashing energies, but they will see how much the world has changed after they awaken. 

Authors note: 

Hey guys, I am not dead, and no corona virus whatsoever in my household. I am working on the other stories, but this was an idea I had and just had to share, please comment with ideas and I will be back hopefully with the first chapter soon.
