Aftermath
...How long has it been? Has it been...that long? Since that day, how long has it been? Since that day that changed everything...yes...that day...
I still remember that day. There I was, sitting there, minding my own damn business. Suddenly, there was this loud siren. The sound still rings in my ears even now. I looked outside. Helicopters were buzzing around. I said to myself,
"What the hell is happening?"
The siren got louder. My ears couldn't take it anymore. I covered my ears with my hands. The sound of the siren pierced my ears. Suddenly, there was a blindingly white flash. I could barely see. I opened my eyes a little, just enough for me to see. I saw it. The terrifying vision.
It was shaped like a dome. A wave of bright light. It was coming towards me. Before I could react, it had already reached me. I thought,
"This is it, huh...it's over"
I was blown away by the blast. I passed out.
I regained consciousness. Slowly, I opened my eyes. Everywhere around me was destruction. I was in some sort of ruined building. Slowly, i stood up. My body was hurting all over.
"Damn...my body feels like it was hit by a 100-ton truck...what happened?"
I walked slowly, struggling. I saw it...the light that shone through the cracks. I ambled my way towards the light. I had to reach it. I don't know why, but I just had to. My body ached as I slowly, but surely, walked towards the light. It was blocked by some piece of debris. With what strength I could muster, I pushed and dragged those debris away.
"Aaargh!! Phew...finally...huh...huh...now, that light is within my grasp...I wonder what happened back there?"
I walked towards the hole which the light shone through. Finally, I reached the hole. Now, I can finally see what was outside. What I saw...was etched into my brain forever.
"Damn...the hell just happened to this world?!"
