It was just another cold winters day in North Sussex,the wind biting my back and the dull light from the hiding sun began to shine through, the eclipse was over, this cold winters day is going to get ever so slightly more pleasant, maybe it was 1 degrees celsius, possibly even 2 degrees if i’m lucky. I see a brief glow of headlights flashing,illuminating my skin, blinding me. Suddenly I hear a voice infuriated, exploding at me, “Get off me ruuf,ya blommin codger!” I shrewdly whisper back “sorry sir” and sprint off. I jump on top of the local butchers roof. It is currently 11:45 pm. You may be wondering why I am out so late and why I am on roofs: It's because I am homeless an orphan- to be exact and this is the apocalypse there are screwballs everywhere (like zombies except crazier and more dangerous.).
Midnight,the blast doors are being opened,I must get home. I can already hear the distant moans of the infected. You see screwballs wander about, but once the see a human they attack it, they roam from city to city looking for their next victims and there isn’t enough power in the city to keep them shut day and night so they open at night because everything is less visible and most people are in their houses asleep or awake with the concrete/steel doors locked and the bulletproof windows sealed in cages. And that's where I come in. I have no house so I have to sleep on the rooftops,steal supplies and drink from all of the drinking fountains just to survive. I make clothes out of rags and sleep on the church roof and I use rats as blankets. I pray to the lord every night and morning to ask if I can survive another day so far the lord has been in my favour because guess what I’m not dead....
It was another cold night ,approximately 2 days later when I saw the headlights, I checked my watch( definitely not stolen or anything ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) )
It said 1:30 am in the morning, I saw two large men in white suits with red ties carrying a bag that looked as though it had a body of some sort in there and they were carrying a large vat of a liquid it looked blue but red at the same time and it was glowing like a stick of uranium. I have never seen it before and I have broke into a countless number of laboratories before (If you were homeless and desperate you would too (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞) . Anyways, I started to hear the body bag making sounds, but they were inhuman and they didn’t sound like the sounds screwballs made; more of a kind of hyenas sound mixed with the sound of a banshee (Banshee makes an utterly crude sound,its sounds gruff yet high pitched,it also has the crunching sound of your feet over gravel just to top it all off.It is a genetticly engineered experement gone wrong,the sound makes you wan’t to commit suicide and it has happend countless numbers of times.Anyways back to the story this “creature” was taken into a tired forgotten school where it kept constantly screaming its horrible scream lights began flashing and the ground began shaking, then suddenly it stopped, abosolute silence then I hear the men talking about this new “project” and how it is going to revolutionise the weapons industry and then the world will be theirs and blah blah blah, then I heard something that sent a chill down my spine when they mentioned a “cure” and the price $20,000. I thought a cure to what? Then they saw me, “they yelled hey you get down from there,you're coming with us!”, I bolted it from rooftop to rooftop like a monkey out of the jungle then I was bitten by the world's most poisonous spider the black shadow, its bite alone can put you into a coma for 10 years luckily it was only a small bite so I was in a coma for 12 months a lot has happened, I’m actually in a nice hospital in the rich part of North Sussex for the first time EVER! I looked out of the window and I saw where I used to live, it was on fire with screwballs everywhere even on roofs and I thought this is why we are high up in the rich part of town!!! I kept hearing people muttering about getting me out of here and how i am “Humanity's Last Hope” ,why they are saying this I don’t know but all I remember was those men in white! They suddenly placed a mask onto my face, everything was getting blurrier and blurrier and blurrier until I passed out. I woke up and found myself in a white room with blinding lights and scary looking devices that look like torture. I fall asleep….
I wake up with one of the horrible machines at my side clicking and clacking away, a man in a grey suit walks in,then he asks for me to tell me everything I know about the men in the white suits. I told them everything that happened and all about the “thing”. They seemed to listen and believe me I thought I was crazy. They said that I had to go on a special “mission” to the southern alps to retrieve something but I wasn’t sure what and I started to go mental I don’t exactly know why it still happened but it did, nowadays it happens about once a week, anyways back to the story. They told me I have to go to alaska, then trek up the hyperborean mountains and finally come to the pactron secret base, from there I will have to infiltrate the base and steal the ‘secret formula’. Apparently this formula decides the fate of mankind I wondered why they choose me, then i asked, they said ‘you will figure out your gift with time.
With that I passed out…
I wake up in a room with baby blue walls,bright spot lights, A 55 inch (roughly) tv, Playstation 4 and an alienware desktop pc. Pretty retro room but nice still. I began to think maybe me in the hospital and the apocalypse was a dream, until I drew back the curtain I saw destruction everywhere fires and all. From my point of view it looked as though I was on an air base, that's absurd I thought, until I walked down the corridor and saw the massive cockpit filled with people wearing weird black and red body armor yelling, panicking and ducking for cover I wondered what was going on….. BOOM!!! I fell to the ground not knowing what hit us, the control boards were flashing widely. I glanced outside, one of the propellers was on fire, we were descending fast. A man sprints up to me and exclaims, “YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR MISSION IS RIGHT?” I have to yell at the top of my lungs over all the noise “YES”. I remember the look on his face exactly as he picked me up and carried me to the rocket propelled escape pod he got in with me, then engaged the launch I remember that distinct feeling of falling in that pod. The man beside me was panicking as bullets skimmed our pod, just missing the windows. Then I saw it, the base it was crazy big, about the size of Fiji. I saw a massive weapon it looked like a drill but it was glowing blue and red, like that liquid I saw earlier on. We landed in a snow cave about 100 metres away from the base. The agent tells me how to open the escape pod as tells me to go to the weapon and shoot the power source with the laser he hands me, he also gives me a headset to keep in touch with him. With that I nod and sprint to the base. Luckily nobody noticed me as I jumped the 20 metre barbed wire fence. I was bleeding all over my thighs where the barbed wire had caught me. I limped over to the machine, the agent started to tell me what to do and how to do it. I found the power source, which was strangely the liquid from earlier. I shot it. Everything went black my skin was burning from the radiation that was surging from the liquid. My headset crackled to life. I heard. “You fool. You just doomed the world with your ignorance. You let your country down because you believed us, you terminated the formula to cure all of the screwballs. Now you are going to DIE goodbye! My headset then began to release small explosions and it bursted into flames……………………………………………………………………………….
I woke up 10 years later in a hospital death and unable to talk but I realised that the government have taken back the Earth from the shadowers and I wasn’t sent back to jail. I am writing this now to tell my story, and how the Earth was back then in. It is the next century and the problem has been resolved, I am currently on life support and everybody is saying I saved the world because that original cure was later found to be very risky. It could have destroyed the whole world itself if it had set off!
So this is my story, I hope this enriched you of our past.
