The orangey glow form under your eye lids blinded you alone. You lifted a hand up to shield your eyes from the brilliant sun. You squinted now, trying to get a look around. But it was too bright. You closed your eyes again, trying to think of where you might be or... anything. But nothing came. All you remember is waking up. Here. Under the horrid, blinding sun. Your eyes hurt. Not just from the s...

normal wasn’t something that anyone experienced anymore. In a world where nuclear war had taken away all of our normal had made our lives... horrifying. In fact, horrifying was the new normal.

before war had taken over the world, everyone at least once would think of the world if there ever was an apocalypse. If you would survive, how you had to fight for every scrap of food. And yes, those thin...

You krept through the graveyard. Still lost, the eerie silence sent a shiver down your spine. And the fog that covered the cold, half dead grass didn't help. All of the tomb stones were hard to read and mostly covered by growing vines. As you rounded the next corner, more views krept upon an old bench.

The guards, the nurses, even the head master. Everyone. As I ran full speed ahead to the huge metal door that only blocked me from the outside, rooms flashed passed me.
