As I stumble through the empty streets I can hear the shards of glass crack under my shoes, an almost satisfying sound to listen to, but far to loud. Shivers of fear run up my spine as up ahead of me i spot a torn down sign, the sign reads “Now Entering California.” The rusted metal has three scratch marks running across, making the words almost indistinguishable. The sign brings back so many feel...

As i lay in bed, my eyes get heavier with every blink. The warmth of the fire and the blanket keeps me from freeezing. As i look up at the wooden ceiling my eyes close down. “Jessica!” I immediantly jump out of bed as i hear my name called from outside. I grab my phone from my bedside table and the time reads, 5:55am. I run to the window next to my bed and rip the blinds out of the way. All i can ...

“WHAT!” I scream at the top of my lungs

“I’m sorry, but their is nothing here about Sera getting any money.”

“Oh but, Glen and Siana do?! No this must be a mistake! I was the favourite!” I can’t believe this I think to myself. Oh it makes me sick, they promised me money when they died but instead what do i get, absolutely nothing! I got it! Siana and Glen changed the will, they were jealous I go...

As I breach the darkness that has surrounded me my whole life i immdediantly get blinded by a bright light, so bright my eyes sting for three minutes straight and i collapse to the ground. As i collapse to the ground i feel something, something spiky. As my vision is restored small green spikes are all around me, but they don’t hurt. I then start to brush them around with my hand, the way they mov...

As the blaring sun beats down on my skin i feel more sweat drip from my forehead. Do we really have to clean out my house in the middle of the July heat, i think to myself. As I slowly put more and more of my stuff into boxes, my boyfriend brandon gives me a subtle look “Need any help their?”

“I’m putting clothes into boxes, I’m fine.”

“Alright, your just taking a while could you hurry up? I’m ...

As I begin to clime up the broken escalator I look around the massive mall. What was once loud and bustling with people was now dead quiet and had vines, plants and trees in every which way. It feels like im not even in a structure, it feels like I’m still outside. As i reach the top of the escalator i look back for a minute, looking back at the mall flooded my brain with memories, but I can’t sta...

As i slowly wake up from my nap I realise I’m facing my bedroom window, and i can quickly see that its raining outside. I immediately get out of bed and rush down the hall to the front door. I twist the handle to make sure its locked “Good, locked.” I then rush to the back door. I turn the handal, “locked as well.” I then walk over to my mums bedroom. I don’t enter her room anymore as i keep it mo...

(TW, Suicide warning)

Fifty days, it has been fifty days of war with these alien creatures. One day everything was normal the next, everything and everyone was gone. No one knows where they came from or what they are. Soldiers have been bravely fighting them every day but to no avail. I am writing this letter to hope someday in the future, some form of intelligent life will find this and human ki...
