Hello. I am not going to say anythy else because...well, I'm not human. I'm not alien, i'm not zombie. I'm... something. Some say I am a dot. Some say I am God. Some say I am the sky.
I'm not sure what I am. This story is gruesome. So put the book down if you don't like gruesome stories, than put the book down.
It started in school. I was just sitting in the classroom with my friends. Free time and card games. I saw it. A plane. Not one of those that carry you overseas but more like a U.S. army one. I saw something small fall from the plane.
There was flame, loud sounds and i felt myself zooming toward the wall. I slammed against the wall and slid down. I fainted.
When I woke up, I felt a stabbing pain in my hand. When I looked at it, teh thumb was missing. Nursing my hand in my other, i set off to home. I found my home reduced to rubble. Everything I had known, destroyed, reduced to dirt.
I felt strange. I was glowing green, transforming into, what? Then I watched the world grow again. Some of the pregnant women in hospital survived.
I watched as a dot. I watched as the sky. I watched the world grow.
I watched.
