The 22nd Century

Only the Beginning

The world used to be okay... so many events happened slowly tearing the world apart. I lost my family, he lost his, we've been staying in a worn down house but we are running out of stuff, it's time to leave..

This was us. Before all the chaos. No worries in the world. Sure we still smile, we still laugh, we still goof around. But deep down we wish it could all go back to normal.

trin's point of view:
I follow Paul as we pack our belongings in a old rusty car we managed to get a while ago, we get in the car and prepare for our long journey. We drive for hours after hours, taking turns driving. It has been so long and boring we've almost given up, as we tiredly stare out the window.
Paul says "Look..!!" I look to where he is and see a city in the distance.
"Wow.. We did it!!" I say as I smile and lean over and hug onto the side of him. Maybe there is people there!
As we drive closer, I start to notice it's not so "lively" like I thought it would be. There is broken windows, worn down walls and it all looks ruined.
Not too far into the city there is small little apartments that catch my eye. "Apartments! They seem good..!" We park in front of the apartments. I take my knife and Paul takes the gun. We split up and break into each room in the apartment complex. They are empty for the most part, but we both manage to get essential supplies like first aid, canned foods and clothes. We decide on staying in the most furnished room.

When you open the door there is a Little kitchen with rusty counters two stools and broken cabinets. Past the kitchen is a little bed with a dirty sheet and it was pretty rusty. There is a little table with a broken chair. Also there is a closet by the table.
