'A push, the glass shatters and we fall down, lower than we had ever imagined as our screams are lost ,lost in the valley of sadness.'
My alarm doesn't ring,yet I wake up with a start.
7.30 it reads, just in time. I haven't gotten much sleep in the past two months .
It's the year 2079.
The world is facing a pandemic that is killing thousands every day.
If you're still reading this you're one of the lucky ones, the ones who have survived so far,but tell me what use is it surviving alone ?
I've lost my whole family to the pandemic.
My mother was a field doctor who should have retired a year back, my sister an intelligence agent who hasn't come back in months and my dad well he might as well be dead because he refuses to talk to me.
I know why.
I resemble my mother and sister, a little too much for his liking. And mine.
So now I live all by myself in a tiny apartment that overlooks the ruined remains of the town of Veroch.
And having so much time at hand I can't help but wonder,
If my mom knew what was going to happen, would she still have stepped in to help?
If my sister knew the risk of retrieving such information and that it could get her killed would she still have agreed to handle such a job?
And the answers reach me before the questions finish.
Of course, they would have because that's how they were.
And this is how I am .
Scared.Selfish.Naive.
