(what should the title be?)
I sit, starring out into the oblivion above me. I’ve waited for this moment for so long. Silently I raise, as do the countless others around me. We reach out, all hoping to be the chosen one.
Screams ring out as people beside me wither to the ground in extreme pain, their bodies twitching as an unseen force pushes them against the ground. All around me they cough up blood, their eyes teary; they are not the chosen one.
I still stand, unharmed, my focus above me. The black starry night is filled with an enormous bluish-black swirl of unknown mass; it rises and falls as if it has a heart.
Raising my arms into the sky, I promise silently to return someday to this hellish world I’ve lived in for so long and bring the others to the peacefulness before me. All around me a force pushes against me as my eyes close I allow myself to slip into a silent meditation.
The new world pulses all around me, I feel safe, as if I were in a mother’s womb. Then I open my eyes to see the happy dream world I’ve always dreamed of…
Dread fills my body as I rise from a sea of warm blood that laps against my legs. Turning I am faced with burning buildings and utter mayhem. I fall to my knees, coughing as I inhale deathly gases from the smog that has settled over the city. This is far from what I had waited for, this was worse then my world! Tears sting my eyes and my arms cover my head, as if to shield me from this horror.
A defining, spine tingling siren rings out, echoing off the remainments of the smoldering buildings, as an even darker force settles into the land. Cautiously I look up and before my eyes other humans are fighting each other. They bite, claw, slice, and shoot at each other, as if satin himself possesses them.
I stand unharmed in the middle of this horrifying mess. In utter disgust I turn, trying to find the peace I’d dreamed of, but all that surrounds me was death brought on by strangers, friends and even family members. I cry out, trying to stop them, but they do not see me, nor hear my desperate pleas.
In frustration I throw myself onto the cluttered ground among the dead bodies and curl up, pulling at my hair. Then all over again, an unknown force pushes against my body, making me want to scream as I am hurled back.
Light filters into my burning eyes as I awake on the ground surrounded by people, who were once withering on the ground around me.
“What was it like?” a small, shrill voice of a young boy cries out in mere excitement as he pushes his way through the crowd to my side. “What was the future like?”
