Essay / Armageddon - 1158
ArmageddonChapter OneMy eyes are opened. However, I feel my heart rate increasing. My parents are dead, but my brother and sister are still with me. I glance at my sister. She never slept. I don't blame him, even if both my parents crumbled before his eyes. My brother stayed quiet the whole time, leading us safely to where we are now. Kayo is the oldest. He was always responsible for taking care of us when my parents were continually away. At the moment, the three of us are alone in a pit, it's quiet, no sign of the opponent. These people are cracked, crazy. What do they want? “Tess, I can’t sleep.” My ears are waking up. " What ? I mumble. “I can’t sleep,” the unsteady voice comes from my sister sitting above me looking down. “Val,” I say, “I know, it’s hard.” I hear a slight sob. “Come here” I said, pulling her closer. “Shh...I know” I whisper. “Why would they do such a thing, what is wrong with them?” she said as she sat down. I look at her but before I can respond. “They are infected,” my brother said from the other side of the pit in his deep, rare voice. “It’s a stupid infection that spreads crazy hormones through the brain, causing madness.” He begins to walk towards us, a flash of light meeting his red eyes. “But everything will be fine, trust me,” he said, kneeling in front of us. I look at him in disbelief. “Are we?” » I whisper. He just stares, desperate; I'm starting to think he's not sure. We may not make it. Something inside me collapses; my heart rate increases again. I'm afraid.Chapter TwoThe pit suddenly begins to shake. "What is this?" Val speaks, eyes wide. "I don't know, wait here" Kayo said as she walked towards the roof of the pit. He hesitates, ...... middle of paper ...... uh said smiling back at us. “Don’t worry, they’re cool,” referring to me. “Guys, this is Eli, Eli, this is Kayo, Val and Tess,” he introduces. Eli walks over to us and without warning gives us all a hug. He’s um… loving, said Esther with a grimace. I laugh. I can't help it... The sunlight is fading. Esther offers me a bunk. It is very difficult to sleep. I mean the world basically ended. I start thinking about how I'm going to die. Will I trip and fall ridiculously while running from psychopaths? Will I get infected and end up like the kids at the convenience store? Am I going to get shot by this stupid soldier who assumes everyone is infected? The question is whether I will survive this Armageddon. I feel the need to do something. I can't stay here and do nothing. These “things,” not people, must have some weakness. RIGHT?
