Some of these pieces of work might be really absurd or depressing...sorry. XP
Also, please excuse my grammar mistakes, if you find any. If you would, point them out for me in the Mailing Chamber, would you? Thanks.
The World Ends.
The year is 2139. Jackie stared out of her big, empty room at the few stars twinkling in the sky. Black inky clouds covered the cold moon completely, sealing off any light from above. She jumped off her bed and went to the window. The ground disappeared threateningly below, fully shrouded by the smoke from the Big Fire created a hundred years ago that had never stopped burning.
Most of the population on Earth has died of diseases from it, and the lack of oxygen. Since the pollution of carbon dioxide has wiped out the ozone layer, the sun made huge white shining scars on the world. Literally. The long scars are shaped like cuts from claws of vicious animals, and the gas that issued from it was many times more poisonous than those of a the most venomous snake in the world: oxyuranus microlepidotus, or the Fierce Snake, whose poison injected from a single bite can kill 100 adult humans. People that have breathed in this gas died a painful death within seconds.
And so what’s left of the people in the world escaped to high areas way above ground. However, this didn’t help. In fact, a few has caught a deadly disease 50 times worst than cancer (with no cure) spread at a horrifying rate. In 1 month, 10 million people died. The only humans alive are the few lucky ones that are immune to every disaster the world has received. Nevertheless, people died twice as fast as a century ago, leaving only a mere half-billion left on the whole Earth. Jackie was one of them. Now, she has to face the continuous dangers alone with her twin, Justin. They lost everything they have to the catastrophe that downed upon the world.
Jackie breathed in the fresh air from the new oxygen tank the men have put next to her room, then when to find her mask. She had a bad feeling for a long time, that the final tragedy is about to take place. Today. Jackie must find her brother. Suddenly, the ground trembled. Trees snapped, causing most of the tree houses to fall into the chaos raging below. Then, everything became white, then black.
The world turned upside down. Literally.
Jackie screamed. She was standing in the hall, right where Justin had been a second earlier. When the world turned black, Justin had slammed into the wall, breaking his shoulder and half his neck, and leaving a large unpleasant, bloody smear on it. In the last few seconds of his life, he had looked and his sister with strange calm and said: “Kill me. I can’t take it, and please don’t die.” Instead of listening, Jackie had ran away. Then, another world-cracking jolt moved their tree house sideways. Justin tumbled vertically downward, screaming. Jackie had lunged for him, but it was too late. Justin flipped over out the window, and disappeared into the gray mist emitting from the white scar in the earth.
A sickening crunch told the grief-stricken Jackie that her twin brother had passed into the Void. She slid slowly down onto the floor, tears cascading down her cheeks. The only person left that she cared about was gone. What’s her reason of living? Her heart twisted her mind, and Jackie barely felt her feet move across the floor toward the window Justin had slid out of. She tottered over the edge, and took a free fall.
I get to see you again, brother. Jackie thought, and smiled as she took a last breath before plunging into the endless pool of muck that have took billions of lives, adding Jackie’s little one to the great collection.
Midnight
MIDNIGHT.
He was alone. A dry breeze blew past him, rubbing sand against his dry face. A lone wolf howled into the night, its voice echoing eerily into nothing. Dark shapes emerged from the ground. Blood-shot eyes glowed like red moons from the few bushes that survived the harsh drought. The shadows linked together and formed a giant shadow, towering over the whole desert. It opened its enormous mouth to reveal human-sized glittering white teeth and bellowed an inhuman cry into the night. He trembled, and very slowly, backed away.
Too late.
The massive shadow twisted around and glared right at him. The amber-red eyes stared right through him. A chill went down his back. Two black claws bigger than his torso shot out and caught him on the back. He screamed in agony and ran - for his life.
