Short Stories It was night and what everyone thought was hail was happy, because water was in short supply and the water riot, and water rebellions were still going on so the idea of free water made everyone even if it was frozen. little did we know they were actually fake rocks falling from the sky from a overhead airplane covered the streets in order predict everyone movement when the chaos erupted that way it was easier to track us, but was there only tool, After everything that happened we learned from police they also had setup in grid like pattern through out the city these floating drone that hovering place silently like a balloon but when you got near them you could hear the buzzing but barley. we could see them at first cause they blended in with was behind them, . They were equipped with 360 degree cameras hidden behind outer shell which some kind of camouflage able to project what was behind it no matter what way you faced it, the only way you could tell it was there was a glimmering silhouette and and it was off color about spherical screen, Later on when the first responders started showing not knowing what was they activated, anyone, that tried passing the grid got shot and everyone was a target. Alot of lives, but the worst was yet to come.
Me, my sister and brother were caught in the pandemonium when the shots started gong off, body's were falling and streets were painted with blood, i was hit in the arm by a bullet that passed through the person infront of me my sister was behind me. I fell ontop of her to protect her from whatever came next. All i could hear was the screams, then i realized i was the one screaming. My brother and sister grabbed me by the hands began pulling to sewer drainage opening on the side of the streets, thats when then the lines of blue light appeared in the sky right over us like a x, spinning slowly, then faster and faster, until the whole sky lite up turquoise. My sister was the first one climb in then my brother pushed me in handing me off to my sister before he got in there. Most people were to afraid to move, injured, dead or to busy looking up, some others saw what we were doing and began asking us to take there kids to protect them children we were only able to take 7 kids because soon other adults saw this and began pushing everyone out of the way including the children, 2 made it down to save themselves to spite the children. The lights got brighter, and it got hotter, we were waiting for the impact then there was nothing but a bright lights and extreme heat. then silence
we sat there for hours afraid to look out, in darkness, and encompassing smell of shit, puke and cooked meat. one of the adults that made it down with us kept whispering to us as we tried calming the children saying it was aliens, i almost believed him until, the cop spoke up. She was afraid but collective, said that she had scene this scenario before, but not like this and not in this country, but along time ago when she was girl when the police in Brazil raided her town using scare tatics and concussion grenades to funnel everyone out of there house and into the bloodbath outside, that's why she left her country. She crept over to us slowly talking asking us to move out the way or help her take a look so that way she should peak out into the streets above. body parts began to ran down on me and sister, burning hot, my sister screamed, i would have but i was to dizzy and in to much pain already to care. She then began saying it was all gone, and they were all gone. my brother, kept saying it doesn't make any sense. I asked him he could say anything.
It was barren, the buildings, and the people were all gone, nothing was left but the streets and they were burning hot and covered in ash with silhouettes of where people were laying, some people had melted into the concrete sidewalks, for miles.
I don't remember much after that, but when i woke up i was in a cell, lights all around me, and it was cold, my gun shot wound had been on the mend and had slowly healed. i was laying on a steel bed that stuck out from the wall and it suddenly started getting extremely hot i rolled off and stood up. That's when the voice of came asking me to please state my name, i began to ask any question anyone would ask in my postion why was i hear, where was my family, why was i being detained, but the voice kept asking me to please state my name, i finally gave it. Then everything went silent,
days started blending together the voice didn't comeback but someone elses did, the room was cold, but the steel bed was warm so i layed underneath it, food or water after i passed out from exhaustion. Then i heard my moms voice over the speaker asking me how i was if i was ok, i felt relieved i was finally going to be able to get out of here, all i had to do was tell them where my family was, was i water rebel, then i realized this wasn't my mother, but someone mimicking her voice and her mannerisms,over the loudspeaker..
