A/N; This is something I wrote at school. I don't think I'll be continuing it unless some of you like it or something. I don't even know why I wrote this in the first place just had a spark of inspiration I guess.

Karkat's POV
I glanced around at the wasteland that used to be my home. It was hard to deal with the fact that in just a few days everything had been destroyed, torn apart, made into this. All around me was rocks, dust and the remains of buildings.
What happened you ask? The government. They were holding some sort of crazy experiment and my city was one of the few they had chosen to experiment on, they thought they had discovered the cure for cancer. But they hadn't. I didn't know what they were thinking but they released some sort of gas around my city, instead of making our bodies immune to cancer like they said it would instead.. It turned everyone into cannibals. My family, my friends even my enemies, they are all gone now
Only my two best friends and I managed to survive. We went on a trip to the neighbouring city to check out the collages they had to offer and see if they were any better than the ones we had. While taking a tour through one of them we heard the radio.
The government bombed our city in order to make sure that whatever it is that they created didn't spread. But that didn't work either. The city we were staying got the infection soon after. I looked to my right, Gamzee Makara my best friend since I was a new born was standing there, just standing there. His expression unreadable, his clown make up smudged. His usually curly black hair was sticking to his head because of the amount of sweat he produced. His black shirt with his star sign, the Capricorn sign in purple was sticking to his chest and his baggy spotty grey and white pants hung loosely around his hips.
I Then turned my head to my left, My other best friend since I was a newborn, Sollux Captor, was biting his lip in an attempt not to cry, I couldn't see his eyes because of the red and blue glasses he wears but I had learnt from previous times Sollux's body language when he was about to break down. His black shirt with his star sign on it in yellow, the Gemini sign, stuck to his chest just like Gamzee's and his jeans were wet from the sweat, he also had black hair but his was more under control than Gamzee's.
I probably looked worse than both of them; I felt the tears streaming down my cheeks. I wasn't supposed to cry! I was the leader; I had to be strong for my two best friends! I was supposed to comfort them when they were the ones crying. Not the other way round.
I could barely see through my hair that hung in front of my eyes and the tears in my vision. It was a really horrible thing to see the place you were born and grew up in destroyed, and we couldn't even say goodbye to our families, to our friends, that was what really got to me. The bags under my eyes were easy for all to see, I had spent nights staying up on watch while Gamzee and Sollux had slept, resulting in a wave of everlasting tiredness to be brought upon me.
I was sweating more than Gamzee and Sollux since I wore a black turtle neck with my star sign, the Cancerian sign, in grey not only did I wear a long sleeved clothing piece but I was such a genius that I also decided to wear long black pants. But then again there was no time to think about it when you're trying to escape fellow people who had been turned into zombie like creatures.
We stared at the remains; I took a deep breath as a walked forward prepared for what was to come.
