Earth is burning. The sun has intensified the amount of heat it pours down onto the Earth. The oceans, lakes and streams have grown warmer. Its much hotter out than it has been in years past. Its november and the current temp is 93f.

I was walking around an abanoned city. The towers were on fire, things were collapsing. It was nearing nighttime. Thankfully not daytime. Being in the daylight is deadly, the ozone layer being mostly gone, and the atmosphere changing, allowing the suns harmful rays to penetrate and reach the ground. Humanity for the most part is dead, but there are survivors. Cannibals, looters, scavengers, and even mutants, those who survived the radiation, somehow, and their bodies adapted.

I of course survived, I'm a scavenger and wanderer. I have a home, that is far away from the city, but I come to the city twice a day to look for supplies, anything of value. While scavenging, I came across a lost child. He was stuck inside a building that was collapsing. I rescued him. We started our trek out of the city, he said he was looking for his father who was back at his house. He was with his mother when the building collapsed. She is dead.

We progressed until we came to a stream, we knew crossing the stream would mean death, as it was too warm. Since it was bubbling. I tore down a tree and used it as a log to walk across. We balanced our way across it. We came to a building that led underground. Fruit was growing around it, he tried to eat it, but I told him not to. As it was badly poisoned by the radiation.

We soon came to his father's house, and his dad was inside. Barely alive from the extreme heat. No air conditioning inside, the electricity still running. The television set on with the news talking about all of the grave situations in the country. His father had earlier set up trip wire, to alert him of anyone coming near through the road. We had taken the forest as the boy had suggested.

Something has hit the tripwire and aluminum cans start clanging together. The scene transitions to a group of deformed people, coming towards the house. Hunger in their eyes and faces. The boy yells out "We are not a Christian family" the group stops, hesitates and slowly turns around and heads back the way they came.

Together the three of us trek outside and come to a lake. We get into a boat and wade across it. But the lake is endless. Its not an ocean, but just a lake. I can see land in the distance, but the more we progress, the further away it gets.

End of line
