3005- A New Beggining

[♥Lar Rackell♥]

In the year 2981: Earth seemed to be finalizing her death sentence since industry began. The world governments joined into two enemy empires, over controllers and "peace makers". The U.N. was completely destroyed. World War IV finally broke out. In just ten years, over five billion people were gone.

In the year 2991: It all ended. The surviving population was mostly under the age of 16. Only a hundred or so adults were left in the world as far as I knew. One of them, Seve, took me in when he was twenty, during the first year of the war. From 2991 on, we had to restore Earth. Bring back the old ways of life. It would be hard; all everyone knew was death and war anymore. That is why I was so grateful for Seve. Being born in 2960, Seve knew the good side to life. Stories he told me from his childhood were amazing. The only thing that was worried about was being late for work or something happening to the space station that was on it's way to Mars.

3005:
A loud repeated ringing noise shot through the hallways of the ancient high school. It burst everyone awake with alarm and confusion. I looked around the old science lab to see Seve sitting on a counter smiling. The room was lit up by a few squares on the ceiling. "Remember those stories about the light bulbs" Seve asked me. I nodded, growing even more confused.
"That's what those are."
"But, You said they won't ever work. Electricity has been out since 2-983..." I said.
"I was wrong. That means electricity is back up! Lets go see what else works!" He jumped off the counter and bounced to the door, I followed him.
Out in the hallway, I noticed a few others happy to see the light bulbs working. Another older man came running to us. "They've fixed the power station at the seaside! It's range is from there to Orting. Some kids have been sent out to the rest of the stations."
"Around the world?" Seve asked.
"Yes" The man replied. "We guess it'll take about four year to get everything back up."
Seve smiled "This is good. This is good." I walked to a window and looked out. It was morning. Around nine or ten I guessed as the ringing finally stopped. I rubbed my ears- They were starting to go numb from all that constant noise. I noticed the some of the old beat up cars out there. All I knew about them were some more stories that Seve told me. I wondered what it felt like to be in one of those things when they moved. Pretty neat, I guessed. They looked even more beat up this morning. Like someone had gone through them searching for something.

Seve pulled my attention away from the cars. "C'mon Lets go find something to eat before we start lookin." I rubbed my eyes, still heavy with sleep. We walked down toward the cafeteria of the school. I heard Seve mumbling something about the kitchen. People have been living here. There's gotta be food. At first I thought we were wrong. When we got into the kitchen, all the shelves we empty. A dirty pot or two was dropped here or there, but the place seemed empty. We both headed to the back of it.
Usually I was pretty smart in scrounging, but this morning i was a bit different. Maybe it was that car, which was most likely nothing, that was different from when I looked at it last night. Some kid probably tore it apart because he was bored. At the back of the kitchen, I opened a very heavy pantry door. Inside, I smiled and heard Seve sound very happy. There were boxes of food wall to wall on the shelf. Where did all this come from? I haven't seen this much food in one spot... since I was under ten. The war really sucked for anyone trying to survive outside of it. Especially food wise. Seve quickly opened one of the boxes. He didn't care what was in it- He was just hungry.

After eating, we made our way to the roof of the school. Everyday we walked, searching for mostly stranded kids. We almost never found any body alive. If it was it was in very bad condition. Seve wanted to get as many people as possible to group back together. Then humans will be able to get back to normal... save the wars. After this one, he figured, there wont be any for a very long time. We looked over the almost flat landscape. Seve pointed toward the coast.
"That's where we'll head today. The power generators I know of are that way." He sighed. "If we're going to find any body, they'll be in the next school or the station." That was a strange fact. Whenever we found a slightly healthy person, he or was in one of those places.
We jumped off the roof onto a lower roof and then down a ladder. This was my favorite building I've been to because of the easiness of the roof. We went through the parking lot with my curious car in it. I looked at it one more time. I noticed more detail. There were scratches and holes in the metal. It was something, not someone, who'd been through that.
