Alone
I didn’t know what to think about this place. It was lonely and dreadful, kind of like how I felt right now.
But so was home. This desert had kept me safe for more years than I have fingers for. I will forever be thankful for her safety.
But this abandoned place had a different feeling. It was a feeling of uncertainty. And that wasn’t a feeling I wanted to feel.
So as quickly and as quiet as I ha...
The Woods Where I Go
desolate forest
thick or thin
breeze winds through
then scampers away
whispering secrets
and then gusting some to take
thick fog hanging
dampening logs
trickling from leftover rain
caught on thick leaves like spoons
i sit in the middle
let nature dance around me
as if i am a part of it all
the beautiful flow
this is where i’m safe
where i feel alive
energy moving like a powerful waterfall

We Should Have Listened
To anyone left,
Things would be so much better, if humanity had just listened to the warnings. If we had, then I wouldn’t be alone; I wouldn’t be writing in a journal no one else is going to read.
I wouldn’t be the last person on this god forsaken rock, the blistering heat would not scorch my skin and cause boils; I would not have had to watch the sandstorms take out the last of my food res...
Adam’s Resurrection
Welcome to Destiny, where only the fittest survive. Population: 1
The hand carved sign on the outskirts of town was the first indication that others had survived in the post apocalyptic world that had become the new reality. After trudging across the deserted wasteland for days, I had begun to believe no one else survived. It felt like the world’s population had been eliminated.

Solace
Isaac couldn’t remember all the details of the day, the day the Harrowers came and attacked his village. A sneak attack so well planned that no one could have anticipated it. Late in the night of the fateful day, the troops attacked. It was a carnage, a veritable abattoir with appendages and torsos strewn about. The mangled bodies of the most defenseless lay discarded in the burning sun like refus...
The Groaning Sands
The sands shifted again today. I should be panicking, on account of my makeshift garden being swallowed whole, but I’m not. These shifting caves could bury me alive at any moment, in my sleep, while I’m rationing food, and without warning. All this means for me is a day of hunger and a night trip out into the wastes. I’m sure I can find a few seeds or plants further east.
I’ve long sinc...
Desert Hopes
I looked on at the endless desert with a blank look on my face it was the year 3001 of planet earth. The earth is slowly dying with the great flood happening because of the ice caps melting completely in 2077 and twelve years later in 2089 A great meteor hit the earth with a tremendous force that melted most of the water and destroyed a whole lot of land but somehow we did not become extinct like ...
Alone
The elder sage looked out the edge of the grotto he and his dog shared in the forest of nevermore. Fritz, the sage said to his companion we must prepare ourselves to leave nevermore before the winter winds come. I can almost feel the cold breezes coming down from the mountains. We must gather staples and food stuffs for our long treacherous journey. And with that said, Fritz looked at the elder sa...
