A Snippet of My Story

“Please!” I plead, tugging at a woman’s arm. She pulls away, a disgusted look on her face.

“Get off me!” She hisses. I hear the soft sound of old feet pounding across the carpet.

“I know where your friend is” She laughed, crooning a little.

“WHERE!” I scream running toward her in sheer desperation. Jade was all I had and I would stop at

nothing to find her.

“She’s where they all are…” She whispered. The woman jumped off the couch looking very flustered.

“Come along nana!” She hissed once again.

“She’s in the old lab” She wheezes.

“NANA!” The woman yelled dropping to her knees “GO TO BED!”

The old woman wheezed once more and crumpled like an old piece of paper

“WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING! WHY ARE THEY GAS BOMBING US? SHE IS DEAD

BECAUSE OF THEM!” She cried. Screaming and putting her hands to her hair, in attempt to rip it out,

She was acting crazy. I ran out of the house, stumbling on the same little stones. I stopped and picked

one up, it was shining with red efflorescence. I blew on it and it blasted into millions of particles of red

dust. Some landed on my nose, it burned. That slight burning sensation reminded me of yesterday morning
when Jade was taken. I shivered and so did the ground. I jump, then a jolt. The ground moving beneath me
rolls and cracks. Hissing and Screaming and Crying echoes through the town. Red, The first thing my mind
registers, moving, snaking toward my unprotected neck. Then the bombs start. Small explosions go off
surrounding me. Picking up dust and rocks of concrete, I run for cover as a huge explosion lifts me off my
feet and throws me inside of a half blown apart building.
