Chaos³
My ordinary, happy teenage life ended that day. Chaos swept everything away. The end of the world? Maybe. But more importantly, it was the beginning of my new life: that of a survivor.
When everything collapses, your priorities shift. What matters takes on a whole new face. The questions become raw, immediate: what am I going to wipe with after taking a dump? How will Romain see clearly once his contact lenses expire tomorrow? And Nadia-how will she continue her antiretroviral therapy?
And then, in the middle of all that, a thought both absurd and out of place: will Syvannah love me?
In the long run, other questions haunt me: what caused this cataclysm? A natural disaster? A nuclear war? An alien invasion?
One thing's for sure: tomorrow won't be a walk in the park.
