The Death Of Earth
Everything was normal, one beautiful day I had been walking down the street, buzzing with the joy of others, but it all came to an abrupt halt when an ear piercing screeching sounded. Then came the screams of people around me as they were killed off one by one. Everyone started running, their attempts seemingly failing as the creature attacked them, it seems that many people had been past the death date and the grim reaper had to make up for the lack of death. Instead of killing the people who’s time was up, the dark creature had simply chosen a city to pray upon instead. I ran towards a small shop, hoping to avoid anything and everything happening outside, when I reached the shop, I saw others also hiding, some crying, most silently staring into the distance, watching what was happening behind that tinted glass window.
How horrific that while most died that day, some lived on, only wondering through allies to avoid that dark creature, looking for every last person to step foot outside. Hoping to escape, I devised a plan, gathered everything I needed, and ran for it, it’d be a long way out but in the end, I get to have the normal life I wished to have before. Everything was abandoned, and broken, useless for hiding spots to sleep for the night and search for food. But regardless, I carried on till me legs nearly gave out on every occasion, running and running as fast as I could, not daring to look behind me.
Finally after weeks of running, I reached the end of the city, turning back just once before officially leaving and beginning my long way towards another city to once again restart me life.
