Apocalypse: The Briefing

Year: 0 Day: 12 After Apocalypse

Once in the camp, they took us to our quarters so we could rest for the night. they were small but had all the necessary things. Today morning they woke us up at dawn, and took us to the camp leader. He greeted us and asked us to sit, so we did. Soon after that, Jasmine walked in, and the camp leader started talking about how we helped her with her daughter, that without us who knows what would have happened to her. After he was done with that, Jasmine, the second in command, started to speak, she was telling us, now that we are part of the resistance, and how things work around camp. Rookies go through a series of briefings and tests for about a week, then they are placed in the area where they can help the most. There are four areas; medical, technological, development, and battle. Each one does what the name says. Medical helps the sick and wounded; technological, which also includes sciences, develops new devices and machinery to help out in the other areas; development helps to build new areas or sectors, and in case of attack or relocation it helps to rebuild, it also includes agriculture; and battle. They told us to go rest because briefings start tomorrow morning. So I spent some time getting to know the people and the area and now I’m on my way to my quarters to rest. We’ll see how all this goes tomorrow.

Apocalypse: Oncoming Storm

Year: 0 Day: 10 After Apocalypse

Yesterday Jasmine told us what happened. STORM is the name of the corporation, with their main headquarters in Mexico and the United States. They specialized in the production, and distribution of nuclear weapons and energy, and where the most advanced in all areas of science. It is run by five people who are in charge of different areas of the company. After the truth about the at the time oncoming disaster, they were granted access to the worlds secrets to se if they could sop it. After years of research, they did not find out how to stop it, but they did find how to survive it. They soon realized that by keeping that knowledge to themselves they would benefit more by sharing it. The heads of the company shared this information with their high-ranking employees, but many of them did not agree, many thought that the information should be shared most people could be saved. These people started meeting secretly to find out a way to make the information public, but before that became possible, they were discovered. For the sake of the company, all of “the five” which is what the heads of the corporation called themselves, decided to kill everyone involved and keep that secret as well. Thankfully some of them escaped, and luckily Jasmine was one of those. After their escape there was not enough time to release the information, since the apocalypse was only five days away. Nonetheless they still gathered, now with no relation to the company, to plan a way to save as many people as they could now, and rescue survivors after the disaster occurred to create a resistance against STORM. The resistance was needed because what STORM was planning on doing next was even worse than what they had already done. They are planning on gathering all the survivors to experiment on them, they want to take away all of the “faulted genes” of the human race and create of new generation of “perfect beings” as they call it. Anyone who opposes is killed. They think that some if the survivors might already be fairly close to this without experimentation, so they are torturing them with various tests to study how their body reacts. Jasmine being an important part of the resistance was sent to Cancun to gather as many survivors as possible from the area and ask them to join the resistance, if they denied to, at least thew would be taken to a safe place away from “STORM” corporation. Today we discussed means of escape, and she said that our best option was at feeding time, where the brown robes opened small hatches to put our food trays through. That is when there is less security in the main entrance, and a few days ago, before she was put in the cell, she sent a signal to the resistance group to attack tomorrow at that time. They waited a few days so she could convince the captive survivors to join the resistance. It was all part of her plan, she was captured on purpose, and now she at least gained our group as part of the resistance. Now all we can do is wait, and hope it all goes according to plan. And before I forget, today would have been the last day of the year, so if for some reason you are still following the Gregorian calendar, happy new year.

Apocalypse: Captive

Year: 0 Day: 9 After Apocalypse

When I finally woke up I had a massive headache. As I was coming to my senses, Jack and Allyson, that were awake already helped me get up, but Sophie, the last one to faint, was still down. I started looking around and noticed I was in a cell, just like the brown robes said. Unlike other cells this one was clean and technological. There were no bars, but bullet proof glass with air holes, and we were located right next to another identical cell. The only difference between them was that on the wall of one there was a huge “A” written on the wall, and on the other one there was a “B”, I was in cell “A”. It was not only our group in there, but many other survivors, everyone was quiet, scared, and rightfully so. After about five minutes I saw Chelsea standing on the far wall, I ran towards the dividing wall and screamed her name so she could hear me. She finally heard me and walked towards me bringing Ana, I asked her what happened and she said that after about two hours of being in the house, someone gassed them, they both fainted and woke up here. As she was saying this, a lady from my cell ran towards us screaming Ana’s name. Ana saw her and screamed “mum, mum!”. Finally someone who hopefully knows something about what is going on. She was talking to Ana and she told her that we took her in and took care of her, but then the same brown robes that took her took us. She thanked us, her name is Jasmine. We asked her if she knew what was happening, but she said that the brown robes were listening. She knew where the microphones were so she took us to the opposite end and started telling us what is going on. She told me too look at the mark that we all had on our hands, I had not even noticed that, she said those were trackers in case any of us tried to escape. As she continued with the story, I was perplexed, I could not believe that human beings could do such a thing. Now I was sure I wanted to end this, not just help my family or friends, but bring down the corporation that is destroying everyone’s life.

Apocalypse: Into the Darkness

Year: 0 Day: 8 After Apocalypse

We kept walking forward for what seamed to be hours, until the path reached a dead-end. There was nothing, only jungle, and the only way to go now was back. We were all disappointed, turned around and started heading back. After some time walking back, we had to make a sharp right turn that none of us recalled making on the way here, but it was the only path. Right after turning the corner I noticed something, a small black sphere attached to a tree, so I pointed it out to the others. After that we found many, they were impossible not to see, cameras, they were observing us. When we all finally noticed, Jack, the oldest member of our group, fainted. Then Allyson, the second youngest, went down. Suddenly, I felt a pinch on my arm, all my limbs went numb and I fell, already on the floor, my vision started going black, but it stayed enough time for me to see the last member of our group going down. In my last seconds of sight my sight I saw them, the people in brown robes, I heard something right before all my senses stopped working, “take them to the cells”. Finally I fainted.

Apocalypse: Questions and Answers

Year: 0 Day: 7 After Apocalypse

Without any discussion we all agreed to take her with us. At the beginning she was still a little hesitant to talk, but after some time she became closer with all of us. She told us she was from England and was here on vacation, something we all figured out because of her accent. But what we really wanted to know was, why did her mom tell her to hide? Why did she not want to take her daughter with her? After some talking, we asked her if she heard anything about where they took them and what they were planning on doing with them. Right after that she starter crying, screaming “they took my mum, they took my mum!” We decided to rest for the night at what used to be the RIU hotel, now just a half standing piece of rubble, but with a decent remaining lobby. the next morning she had calmed down and walked towards us, sat down and while wiping off her tears she told she spoke. She said that the brown robe people said that they would take the survivors to the tip where both waters meet. None of us knew where that was or what that meant. After another hour of resting, it came to me, the tip where both waters meet, Isla Blanca, the tip of Cancun, where the lagoon and the ocean meet. I told the rest about what I had figured out, letting them know it was just a hunch, but since it was the best we had we went there. Isla Blanca is passed my house, so on our way there we stopped to pick up some provisions that I left in my room in case I went back. Our destination being now only a thirty minute walk we were all nervous about what we would find. We got there and a huge electrified fence was up. And when we walked towards the door it opened by itself. We decided to keep Ana with Chelsea, one of the girls from our group who seamed to have bonded the best with her, to keep her safe. Right after they went back, we entered, knowing we might just be walking into a trap to get more survivors, but it is a risk that we all agreed to take, and one that I must take to save my family. I don’t know if walking in like moths to a flame is the most stupid thing we have ever done, but I feel we will find out soon.

Apocalypse: Hope on the Day of Mircacles

Year: 0 Day: 4 After apocalypse

Today is Christmas, or it would be if it weren’t for the small problem of the apocalypse that happened four days ago. Instead of spending the day with my family I spent the day looking for them. After finding the note yesterday, I slept for a while to recover my strength. I woke up at dawn, and prepared for the expedition in search for my family, and if possible, other survivors. I left my house before 8 am and started my search throughout the city. After walking for an hour I started noticing something: animals, many of them. Apparently they had way better survival skills than humans. I stopped at “malecon/plaza las americas” which once was a thriving mall where a lot of the city’s people went. Now it was empty. I decided to search there because it was in really good shape, given the situation. As I entered cinepolis, the shopping malls cinema, a dog stood up and stared at me. I tried to calm him down, but he kept walking towards me, not hesitating whatsoever. When he was 2 feet away from me I was prepared to fight, but he relaxed, rolled over and barked happily. After that I could not keep him away from me. I called him cloud because of a cloud shaped spot on his back. Since Cloud was the only thing I found in the mall, we left to keep searching for my family. Right before sundown, I noticed a small column of smoke coming from the ruins of the “plaza de toros” which is where the bull fights took place. we headed towards there. Once inside we proceeded with caution, only to find a small group of survivors. They welcomed us with open arms and shared their food and shelter with us. I guess in a way I did celebrate Christmas, with old canned food and a group of strangers, but as sad as it sounds, it was great. Remember, if you are out there, don’t lose hope, and if you are reading this, merry Christmas.

Apocalypse: Wasteland

Year: 0 Day: 3 After Apocalypse

Yesterday I arrived safely at the LA airport. Upon my arrival, I encountered another survivor, a pilot, who said he read my previous messages. He agreed to take me to Cancun in exchange if food and water. I gave him the ration of my last day of provisions hoping I could find some more in the plane. After some searching we found a functioning plane that was big enough to take us to our destination. We departed at 11: 55 pm. Four hours into the flight the fuel started to run out, giving us barely enough time to land in Atlanta’s international airport at 4 am today. We searched for hours but found no fuel. After pondering upon the fact that I might be stuck in Atlanta we found another plane, considerably smaller than the firs one, but this one had a full tank so we took our chances. Before leaving I entered the main building of the airport, or what was left of it, to look for some more provisions. All I could find was a broken vending machine with two bags if chips and an open box if milk duds, which I decided not to take for health reasons. We took off again at 8 am and arrived at Cancun at 11: 30 am where me and the pilot parted ways after saying he had his own plans to fulfill. I walked from Cancun’s airport to my house, hoping it would still be there. It took a while but on my walk I was befuddled, what once used to be the beautiful city of Cancun is now a wasteland with the ruins of what used to be hotels. I got to my house, luckily it was is still standing, not in the best shape, but good enough for shelter. I walked inside only to find empty rooms and the crisp eery feeling of an abandoned house. My hope was gone, none of my family members were there. Right before loosing my mind I saw something, a small torn piece of paper under the burnt remains of what once was my bookshelf. I ran, and grabbed it, it was burned almost completely, but the piece that I have reads “we are ok”
I know that was written for me, they knew I would look for them, they knew I would come, and they are alive. I am oblivious of where to find them, but I will. Again, if you are out there, there is still hope, I am now sure I am not alone, and neither are you. Keep fighting, we will prevail.
