So it was all supposed to start with the sunrise, but that never happened.
Everybody was screaming. It as 6:02am, why would anybody be screaming? I wake up to find my little brother Callum and my mum Janis crammed in the corner of my room, they jarred my bedroom door shut and were closing the blinds as they were trembling with fear, their faces pale as snow.

That was 12 years ago... they didn't make it. My family no longer exists, society is falling apart and half the human population is gone. Need more context? Well here it is; 2013 there was a fallout with our presidential leaders, arguments that just kept on growing. Anger was rising from all around the world, a culling was almost inevitable...

During 2012 I was your average hormonal 17 year old, I was just trying to find myself and get through school but no... Fate or whatever had other plans for my years of "prime". Today would officially be my 29th birthday and I think I unlocked the secret of why our world fell apart, want to know the reason?
