Rise of the Machines

20th December, 2150 The end is coming quickly.
At first I thought it would be because of an unexpected virus that would spread and kill all mankind. No fuss somehow. Or a battalion of unknown species would land on our planet, take it and destroy all living matter in sight. I imagine weird creatures flying even more ridiculous things. But I was sort of disappointed. Humankind wanted a cruel finale. Bombs are everywhere. Merciless androids are roaming around shedding innocent blood. Deafening sounds became incessant. How come it all turned to this? We’ve been hiding since they claim authority over the Earth. At first, some brave men attempted to bring them down, restore what is rightfully ours but their strengths and machineries simply wasn’t enough. We still need to level with the technology they have. Sir Lasky, our leader, ordered us to stay underground where no device could detect our presence. Everyone is paying close attention to any signs of the enemy. Our senses strengthened the longer we stayed hidden.
My family was gone. I came home to find them lying on their pool of blood. I didn’t know when or how it happened, but I have a pretty good idea who did it. I wept and was lost for a moment until Sir Lasky found me. He took me to the other survivors. Since then I knew life would no longer be easy. I trained with the other youths. We were taught how to hold weapons and protect ourselves. No day would pass by without us getting bruised. If things were normal I would say it was cool. But in these times when lives are at stake I realize it isn’t. I wanted to keep my faith, to hope that maybe things would be better. But I can’t. Hope now is just a word, it’s meaning forgotten. At this moment, I’m waiting for the end to come with my hand firm on my fully loaded gun. (Twinnie Urlanda- SEd 1-1)
