Blurb: Wilted,dead,forgotten,and pain so much pain.These are my only feelings the one thing that keeps me from hanging or overdosing myself...Well that and the rest of my family...
The small whispered screams seemed to go no where. The somewhat stifled sobs echoed the around the small room. Their almost inaudible footsteps, their quiet short paced breathing were what we were straining hear. My eyes began to quickly scanned over the room counting and marking each kids hiding spot when I noticed Jesse's fiery red hair and her pale blue eyes staring back at me. I shook my head and mouthed 'Not yet' in her direction, watching as she hid herself once more careful not to make any more noise than necessary."Their here" Brenden whispered just as three men heavily armed with guns made their way past towards our room. "This is it, were going to di-." Brenden's grip on my hand tightened signalling me to be quiet.
I lost myself somewhere between space and time. I repeated my name over and over, refusing to leave myself behind. But the more I decintigrated, the more of myself I lost, until everything, my name, Timmy's smile, even my parents were forgotten. I found nothing but black space and white silence. The longer I stayed, however, the more vivid the colors became, and then they began to take shape. After what felt like hours, I was myself again, strapped to a chair with Jesse materializing in front of me.
I'm Stasey. When the aliens attacked Earth, myself, my best friend Jesse, and my "friend" Timothy may have been the only people to survive. We're on a quest to find other survivors and potentially save our planet, but to do that we have to avoid being shot, eaten, or falling in love.
But sometimes things work out differently than we expect, and we have to make the decision: sacrifice ourselves for the ones we love, or the ones we love for the ones we can save.
