Imagine the insanity of living in the growing cold winter-the freezing feeling of your soul being sucked away...but not only by that, but from loneliness too...Being the last person on Earth and all, the nuclear explosion causing tons of deaths, and the strange radiation leaving the whole worlds existence in peril due to a disease,a sickness, a bug, or you could even say it was a plague. Not only did it do that to us, to man kind, but it killed nearly all of the animals... leaving few left to repopulate the food chain (for animals). The radiation also left mutated animals as well though, and some of them aren't all that pretty. Here's the point: I'm the last one alive, barely surviving by visiting my...my was to be my retiring father as he was giving me a tour of the army base it being a miracle that we were in the atomic safe room at the time, as he had proudly showed me everything...the gleam in his eyes as he spoke about our nation, our strength... I'll never forget it...Or him. But then theres this: I'm growing sick by day...though its been 4years since that dreadful day-- when this hell had started + my antibiotics running low...I'm in a mess. To make it worse, I just came up upon a half-demon who won't tell me what he wants from me, or how he survived. He said there is1other, but I can't meet them, that they will kill me at sight. I don't know if I have to plague or not, and I think I'm falling in love...and I don't think you're supposed to love a demon, even a 1/2...
I don't think My father would ever approve.
Strangely, I'm told that by him that if a demon (even a half-demon) ever saves a human but giving them their own life-force, the demon will cease to exist...
To make this all worse, I think I'm falling...& if I am, I think I'm falling hard&hopefully, I think he is too. But I'm falling into my bed instead of his arms; growing weaker by day there is nothing to say, but those words you said to me,"...I'll never forget about you-"
Then its all black.
