The rain is like my cure. It washes over me as I stand with my arms outstretched in the middle of the platform. It is dark, the stars shine and I am alive. Like, yeah I know, I’m alive in the sense that I’m living and breathing but, no, in that moment I am truly alive. I watch as the stars twinkle above me, forever out of reach but never the less still there. They tease me, they say, “You’ll never reach us, we’re too far above you.” And I guess that’s why I’m here, as I look down on the busy motorway filled with late night traffic and I wonder if anyone below would ever contemplate doing what I’m about to do. Just one step would fix it all.

I am dying. I know this because i can feel all my senses leaving me. I can see flashes, recollections, of my past. They preen at me through my lashes. But I am calm. There is a feeling of delirium thumping in my heart, spreading through my body. With the little strength that I can muster, I reach out to take hold of the nearest objects to me. It ties me to the earth, but when my eyes no longer see light, the bond that keeps me on this world will be severed, and no longer shall i be alive. What if you and a four other people where the only ones alive on earth? After the Apocalypse, everyone died. Except for five of us. My name is Thalia, when I was thirteen years old, the earth was broken by deadly storms, methane, tsunamis, earthquakes. I survived. For years I wandered the earth, raiding abandoned shops for food, seeking shelter. Now I am fifteen, I feel like I have found a home. I have found a band of survivors like me. These people survived the Apocalypse, and now, we want answers .
